IT13M 6.F.3)
SUBJECT: Adjustment of annual compensation rate for contract paramedic service with
Paramedic Services of Illinois (PSI)
FROM: Thomas McEllin, Fire Chief
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: 2012/2013 EMS Program 731 -77000
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board approve the compensation
agreement with Paramedic Services of Illinois for 2012/2013 for an annual amount of
$492,683.
Background/History:
On August 28, 2011, the Village of Oak Brook entered into a successor agreement with
Paramedic Services of Illinois (PSI) to provide the Village with contract paramedic services
through August 31, 2014. The agreement calls for PSI to provide six contract paramedics (two
per 24 hour shift), supplementing the sworn fire department staff. Section 18A of this agreement
sets the yearly compensation rate and Section 18B allows for the yearly evaluation and
adjustment of this fee to a mutually agreed upon rate based on PSI's operational costs. Village
staff has met with PSI, discussing the increases in operational costs and has agreed upon a new
proposed compensation rate. With the 2.5% increase, the annual cost per paramedic is less than
the 6 mature contracts recently surveyed (15 yrs or older with same provider) by an average of
$4,967/yr. per paramedic.
Recommendation:
Staff recommendation is to approve the compensation agreement with PSI and authorize an
increase in the compensation rate from $480,666 to $492,683 or from $40,055.50 per month to
$41,056.92 per month. This represents an overall increase of 2.5 %. This rate provides for a
modest increase for salary, FICA, insurance, training, uniforms, fire gear, administrative and
operational cost that have risen the last few years.
