Whatever happened with that? Did rural lose their contract after the issues?
As a result the City Council has no choice but to grant Filner’s request for at least a one-year contract extension with Rural/Metro and an equivalent delay in any competitive bid...

Sorry was looking for an internal persoective
I'm interested to see what will happen in a year (or two, if they go through with the 2nd year option).
It would be even more interesting if R/M loses the bid to AMR or Falck.
Opinions?
Considering AMR lost the contract years back, I doubt it'll be purely numbers for them. Paramedic plus was looking at the bid, should be interesting. I thought they proved there was no foul play with the numbers.

Bob Filner for Creepy Old Man of the Year.
Oh no. What does that mean for you guys?
Borg time!
The Mayor wanted to delay the RFP to allow a study to examine the possibility of taking the EMS system back into the FD. However, with the current "issues" at the mayors office, that could be scrapped and the bid put out with-in the next year, or could actually delay the whole damn thing for a few more years.
I've heard A TON of names from Acadian, Falck, AMR, etc, that are eyeing the bid. With the financial troubles that R/M Corporate is having now, it'll be REALLY interesting to see if they even re-bid. It's not the first time nor will it be the last time a new company has taken over in this area. Should be more interesting that an episode of Game of Thrones for the next several months here in SD.
