    I am hearing from reliable sources that Transcare won the contract. In theory they should have enough equipment/manpower to cover Putnam, but we will have to wait and see if the contract provides for the BLS ambulance service being tested.

    That is very interesting. What will happen to Hudson Valley Paramedic Service w/o the Putnam contract? Do they have enough bussisness w/o the Putnam contract to survive. Their former managment team left a bad taste in a lot of peoples mouths, including mine. (get your minds out of the gutter people).

    My question is ,what is taking the county sooo long to make an anouncment. Lets say Hudson Valley Paramedics doesnt get the contract. That Leaves the new provider just a little over a month to get things in place for the contract. That is not a lot of time when you have the buy new vehicles, equipment and not to mention hire about 20 EMTs and Medics. In my mind the county sets up the new company for failure right from the start!

    There was a fourth person in the bid process that no one even looked at......hire your own people and have your own county run program!

    Back when Alamo took over Sloper and inherited the Putnam contract there was alot of talk about the county taking over the system. Many of the Sloper Putnam medics stayed with Alamo in hopes of being in position to land a county job. Over the years everyone has come to the realization that the county will never take over. And little by little most of the medics have left for greener pastures. I think there are only about 3 or 4 of the original Sloper medics working in Putnam County today. Its ashame there were a lot of good medics ( people ) working in Putnam. Dont get me wrong there are still good people working in Putnam today. Its just not like the good ole Sloper days.

    before you sit here and get nasty with me do you work for one of the companies or just someone who listens to rumors? cause i work for one of the companies and i am not going to say which one

    What difference does it make if I work for one of the companies ?? And as for rumors they are what they are rumors. Hopefully we will all know who got the ALS contract sometime this week. I was just telling what I heard.

    There were 3 RFP's recieved by Putnam County. Empire ( Hudson Valley Paramedics ) Transcare and Alamo. As many of you will remember Alamo had the contract prior to Empire, and lost the contract to Empire when Empire underbid the contract. Then went back to the county and said give us more money by Friday or we are gone. Check your facts princess

    Try Wilcox Park in the town of Milan. It is a county park with a couple of decent little lakes. There is also a nice playground and beach for the kids when they get tierd of fishing. You wont catch any trophies but you and the kids will have a great time. Just a couple minutes up the TSP to Rt 199.

    Why is it every time the Putnam ALS contract comes up there is so much drama?? Is it just me or is Putnam the perfect fit for a county wide municible service? I just find it hard to belive that there is not one single commercal serviced based out of Putnam county. I know Empire provides the service but their office is in Fishkill. I just feel sorry for the residents of Putnam county. Some one needs to step up and fix this problem. Otherwise everytime the ALS contract is up the residents of Putnam county could be without a valulable life saving service.
