RFP issued for Air Ambulance Landing Site Review

Last week, Alberta Health issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to engage a consultant to analyze Alberta aircraft landing sites that are either in use now or have been used recently by the provincial air ambulance program.

The RFP closes on May 8, and the successful bid will be selected in early June. The consultant will work with municipalities, aviation providers, emergency medical services (EMS) providers, ambulance operators, and other stakeholders to perform a detailed inventory assessment. This project will also include a review of winter operation considerations, a cost-benefit analysis of infrastructure upgrades, guidelines and protocols for airplane and helicopter landing sites, and clear guidance to municipalities responsible for maintaining the landing sites.
