The Bremen Town Council approved a two-year contract for ambulance services in a special session last week.
Bremen Director of Operations Trend Weldy said three companies submitted bids. Lutheran Ambulance Service submitted the low bid. The current provider, Tri-County Ambulance, withdrew its bid after the town council’s meeting on Aug. 14 so the town will have a new service after more than 10 years. Elite Ambulance submitted the third bid.
Weldy said the bids specified one, one-and-a-half or two ambulance service contracts. The contract awarded on Aug. 22 was for a two ambulance service at a cost of $350,000 for the first year and $225,000 the second year.
Weldy added that the contract was to be signed on Tuesday. The ambulance crew will take occupancy of the newly remodeled ambulance building at 1237 Plymouth Street on Nov. 1.
