City of Beaumont Emergency Medical Services (EMS) fees are market driven fees for

insurance industry, reviews and revises its allowable fees to address the medical services
market. Medicare has changed its fee structure and incorporated itemized medications
and supplies into the base fee. Staff recommends that this same procedure be adopted
for the City. Such changes allow for billing of specific services and may change
periodically; thereby changing the fee structure. Current EMS fees for the City along with
comparable rates from Austin, Baytown, Dallas, El Paso, Galveston, Irving, La Porte,
Orange County, Plano, San Antonio and Stat Care EMS were given. The proposed rates
for the City are in line with rates charged by the other ambulance companies surveyed and
incorporate Medicare's latest fee structure.

$7,680.
Five bids were received for furnishing all labor, material, equipment and supplies for the
renovation of the 2n, floor in the Municipal Court Building to house the new Consolidated
Dispatch and Emergency Operations Center (EOC).

center and EOC command center. Renovations include conference rooms,offices,secure
computer, telephone, radio communication rooms, a kitchen and staff lounge, media
room, storage, restrooms with showers and lockers, and additional rooms that can be
converted to dormitories for emergency personnel. A permanently installed natural gas
generator for providing backup electrical power is also included in this renovation.

Page 9 of 1 Minutes-April 3,2007
This project includes upgrading elevators and exterior windows. None of the passenger
elevators are operational. This bid includes refurbishing one passenger elevator and the
freight elevator. The 2nd floor windows are original to the building. They are not rated for
windstorm nor are they energy efficient. They will be replaced with a windstorm certified
window system.
The building and parking lot will be secured by a card reader security access system with
limited access to the building and 2nd floor operations center.
Change Order No. 1 reflects a deduction of $7,680 due to a discount offered by the
elevator subcontractor. The subcontractor is the City's contracted elevator maintenance
provider and a volume discount was provided due to the number of elevators already in
service with the subcontractor.
The net cost after the execution of Change Order No. 1 is $2,426,320.
Work is expected to commence by May 1 and be completed within 300 days. N & T
