Narrative
On July 1, 2008 the Costa Mesa City Council voted 5 - 0 to award the city 911 Emergency Ambulance Service contract to CARE Ambulance Service. This vote was the end result of an 8 month open competitve bidding process. There were three companies that bid on the contract. They were Pacific Ambulance, Gerber Ambulance and Care Ambulance.
During this process CARE Ambulance's bid received the highest score from the team of evaluators which resulted in CARE receiving staff recommendation to be awarded the contract. The actual takeover date is yet to be determined. CARE Ambulance is proud to have been selected and looks forward to providing the citizens of Costa Mesa with high quality ambulance service.
Costa Mesa becomes the 9th city in Orange County to contract with CARE Ambulance for 911 Emergency Ambulance Services joining Anaheim, Buena Park, Fountain Valley, Fullerton, Garden Grove, La Palma, Stanton, and Midway City.
On August 19, 2008, the Costa Mesa City Council voted on consent to execute the negotiated agreement. The transition is complete and CARE shall offically start running calls at 12:00AM on Monday, September 1, 2008.
