Memo
To: Roger Banks, Purchasing Manager
From: Chief Brian Dunn, Fire Department
Date: April 27, 2011
Re: RFP: FD-02-11/EMS Billing & Collections-Submission Evaluations
After reviewing the responses submitted for RFP: FD-02-11/EMS Billing & Collections, the five -member committee
(consisting of myself, Roger Banks-Purchasing, Doug Cooper-Finance, Assistant Chief Kevin Lassiter, and Rick Weise-
Assistant City Manager) scored the submissions as reflected below.
1. Business and Professional Service (B&P), San Antonio, Texas-442 points: B&P has been in service for
79 years and has provided billing and collection services to the City since 1997. Committee members liked
the flat percentage fee proposed as it included all billing services as well delinquent account collection
services. The collection rate by B & P is estimated to be 75%-85%. This firm also scored high in conformance
to the RFP specifications and experience. The committee believes that this company will provide the best
value for billing/collections services as well as a “value added service” relating to qualifying patients prior to
scheduled transfers.
2. InterMedix, Houston, Texas-397 points: This Company has been in business for 33 years with 500
employees. Committee members were impressed by InterMedix’s submission package and the proposed fee
for billing services. However, the fees proposed relating to credit card fees, delinquent account fees and
Notice of Privacy Practices mailings were in addition to the 7% base fee.
3. Specialized Billing, Houston, Texas-389 points: Specialized proposed billing fee are 9%-14% depending on
the service options selected. However, their collection recovery rate was only 58% to 78%. The company has
been in business for 25 years with 25 employees.
4. Certified Ambulance Group, Wethersfield, Connecticut-252 points: Certified Ambulance Group proposed
a fee of 7% with an expected recovery rate of 82%. However, the proposed fee did not include delinquent
account fees. In addition some critical information requested in RFP was not submitted, e.g., financial reports,
resumes of key staff members, etc.
5. CareMed Partners, Lake Wood, Colorado-162 points: Proposed a billing fee of 7% but the fee did not
include delinquent account services. The submission package was incomplete and did not provide the
selection committee with enough information to compare them to the other companies. The company has
been in business for 17 years with 42 employees.
As a result of the rankings, the committee is recommending that Business and Professional Service (B&P), of San
Antonio, Texas be approved for negotiating a new contract to provide EMS Billing and Collection Services for the City of
San Angelo. If a satisfactory contract cannot be negotiated, negotiations with the next most qualified provider, is
recommended.

Caption: Regular Agenda Item
Consideration and possible action regarding an application by Total Energy Services,
LLC on behalf of Nabors Well Services LTD to drill a total of three non producing
Training Wells at depths of 2000 feet, 3,000 feet and 6,000 feet on their property
located at 1214 Gas Plant Road in support of a new permanent training facility for oil
field workers in Southwest Texas
Summary: Nabors Well Services LTD is planning to construct a permanent training
facility at their San Angelo location on Gas Plant Road which will provide
temporary living quarters and classroom facilities for crews in training. The
intent is to provide a “real world” environment in which to train including a
total of three wells at varying depths which will be used to simulate drilling
operations including tool use, equipment assembly and disassembly, and
well pipe placement.
History: Nabors Well Services LTD has identified the need for a training facility for oil
field crews to teach the day to day operational aspects of the oil drilling
business. The facility will include temporary living quarters of the type
normally found at off shore and / or remote well locations, classrooms and
three wells of varying depth to be used to simulate the actual drilling
operation. The company has obtained permits from the Texas Railroad
Commission for all three wells. In addition they have submitted the required
forms to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, TCEQ and
received a recommendation for groundwater protection pursuant to that
application. Drilling of the three wells will be completed in accordance with
applicable Railroad Commission standards.
According to San Angelo City Code Section 5.1300 Oil and Gas Drilling,
Section 5.1302, it is unlawful for any person acting either for himself or as
agent, employee, independent contractor, or servant or any person to drill or
commence to drill a well as defined herein within the limits of the City of San
Angelo, Texas, or to work upon or assist in any way in the prosecution of the
drilling of any such well as defined herein within the city limits of the City of
San Angelo, Texas without a permit for the drilling and operation of such well
having first been issued by authority of city council of the City of San Angelo,
Texas in accordance with the provisions of this article.
Financial Impact: $5,000 permit fee
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the application once received and once applicant has

and 38 must be made and a special permit granted prior to spudding. Failure to do so may result in an allowable not being assigned and/or

Before Drilling
Fresh Water Sand Protection. The operator must set and cement sufficient surface casing to protect all usable-quality water, as defined by the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). Before drilling a well, the operator must obtain a letter from the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality stating the depth to which water needs protection, Write: Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (Surface
Casing-MC151), P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087. File a copy of the letter with the appropriate district office.
During Drilling

casing setting depth approval from the district office, if applicable, and this drilling permit must be kept at the permitted well site throughout
drilling operations.

minimum of eight (8) hours prior to the setting of surface casing, intermediate casing, AND production casing. The individual giving notification
MUST be able to advise the district office of the drilling permit number.
Completion and Plugging Reports

thirty (30) days after completion of the well or within ninety (90) days after the date on which the drilling operation is completed, whichever is
earlier. Completion of the well in a field authorized by this permit voids the permit for all other fields included in the permit unless the operator
indicates on the initial completion report that the well is to be a dual or multiple completion and promptly submits an application for multiple
completion. All zones are required to be completed before the expiration date on the existing permit. Statewide Rule 40(d) requires that upon
successful completion of a well in the same reservoir as any other well previously assigned the same acreage, proration plats and P-15s (if required)
must be submitted with no double assignment of acreage.
Dry or Noncommercial Hole. Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) prohibits suspension of operations on each dry or non-commercial well without plugging
unless the hole is cased and the casing is cemented in compliance with Commission rules. If properly cased, Statewide Rule 14(b)(2) requires that
plugging operations must begin within a period of one (1) year after drilling or operations have ceased. Plugging operations must proceed with due
diligence until completed. An extension to the one-year plugging requirement may be granted under the provisions stated in Statewide Rule
14(b)(2).
Intention to Plug. The operator must file a Form W-3A (Notice of Intention to Plug and Abandon) with the district office at least five (5) days
prior to beginning plugging operations. If, however, a drilling rig is already at work on location and ready to begin plugging operations, the district
director or the director0s delegate may waive this requirement upon request, and verbally approve the proposed plugging procedures.
*Notification of Plugging a Dry Hole. The operator MUST call in notification to the appropriate district office (phone number shown on permit)
a minimum of four (4) hours prior to beginning plugging operations. The individual giving the notification MUST be able to advise the district
office of the drilling permit number and all water protection depths for that location as stated in the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
letter.
