AGENDA ITEM
Special Board of Trustees Meeting
of
September 10, 2013
SUBJECT: Adjustment of compensation rate for contract paramedic service with Paramedic
Services of Illinois (PSI)
FROM: Thomas McEllin, Fire Chief
BUDGET SOURCE/BUDGET IMPACT: 2013/2014 EMS Program 731-77000
RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move that the Village Board renew the contract with
Paramedic Services of Illinois for 2013/2014 for an annual amount of$501,522.
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. A survey of 14 area contracts indicated an average increase of
2.607%.
Recommendation:
Staff recommendation is to renew the contract with PSI and authorize an increase in the
compensation rate from $492,683 to $503,522 or from $41,056.92 per month to $41,960.16 per
month. This represents an overall increase of 2.2%. This rate provides for a increase for salary,
FICA, insurance, training, uniforms, fire gear, administrative and operational cost that have risen
the last few years.
