Rehoboth Ambulance Contract

The Town of Rehoboth has signed a new contract with Rehoboth Ambulance.

Under the terms of the contract, which was signed by the Board of Selectmen on February 3 and runs through June 30, 2026:

• Rehoboth Ambulance shall acquire, maintain, and pay all attendant vehicle costs necessary to comply with this Agreement.
• Rehoboth Ambulance shall assume all costs of its staffing, supplies, telephone, diesel fuel, gasoline, oil, maintenance, materials, communication system, equipment, and all other items required in the proper operation of the service. Rehoboth Ambulance shall maintain all mobile radios, portable radios, pagers and other notifications, apps or devices to the latest system capability.
• Service records of any Rehoboth Ambulance vehicles utilized in the Town shall be made available to the Town at the request of the Fire Chief, Police Chief, or the Board of Selectmen.

• Rehoboth Ambulance shall provide the Town with an employee roster of all EMTs. The roster will be updated on a quarterly basis, or as needed based on personnel actions.
• The ALS and assigned minimum staff will remain on-duty in the centrally located headquarters provided by the Town of Rehoboth (334 Anawan St.) unless dispatched by Rehoboth 911.
• The Town, through the Board of Selectmen, may terminate the Agreement at any time for convenience after giving ninety (90) days’ written notice to Rehoboth Ambulance. The Town may terminate for cause if the service being provided is not consistent with the terms of the agreement by providing thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination and an opportunity to cure as set forth below.

Last October, the town was awarded Bristol County ARPA (American Rescue Plan Act) funds to purchase a new ambulance. The Rehoboth Ambulance Committee will be able to use it as they see fit.
