Councillors concerned over consultant costs
By Sarah Cadwell
Goderich Signal -Star Staff
Several concerns were
raised by county councillors
about approving a $65,000
expenditure to pay Pomax
Inc., the firm doing ambulance
consultation for the county,
until the eqqd of the year. The
decision wtias deferred to the
next Committee of the Whole
meeting.
When county councillors
approved that Pomax be
retained to finish the
assessment of how ambulance
services have run in Huron
County during the first year of
operation under county
management councillors
asked for a breakdown of the
fees and a cost estimate.
Pomax initially was hired to
do the original ambulance
study on where to locate
ambulances in the county and
a three-month study on
ambulance services from
January 2001 -March 2001.
After the three-month study
period was completed county
councillors decided three
months of data was not
enough to come to conclusive
decisions. Councillors asked
Jon Hambides, Pomax Inc. to
put together an estimate of
what he will cost for the year.

Dated at the Municipality of Huron East

Huron County Council
At the county council
meeting on September 6,
Pomax's estimate was
reviewed.
They estimate that it will
take 12 hours a week at a rate
of $60 for data base entry and
management.
This was one of the most
contentious parts of the
estimate for Coun. Bernie
MacLellan, Huron East, who
wanted to know why the
county was going to pay
Pomax $60 an hour, or $720 a
week, for data entry when an
ambulance manager, making
approximately $40 an hour
can do the same job.
MacLennan wanted to know if
the county could use software
from the province to get the
same information.
Clerk -administrator Lynn
Murray said the software that
MacLennan was referring to
was not effective for the
information the county is
collecting for the ambulance
study.
MacLennan made it clear he
was not opposed to the one-
year study just opposed to
how the work was being done.
The other part of the
estimate was for 10 hours of
work at a rate of $110 per
hour, or $1100 a week, to
analyze data, run information
queries and reports, determine
effectiveness of ambulance
use, assess adequacy of
current ambulance response
strategy, try to make more
effective ambulance responses
based on actual call data
provided by the paramedics,
determine cost and operational
impacts of using the
ambulances in different ways,
correspond with allied
agencies in reference to
ambulance call, access patient
treatment and write and
present to Huron County
Administration, Committees
and Council reports on
findings, alternate strategies to
deliver services and costs.
Some councillors, such as
Paul Klopp, Bluewater, think
Hambides is doing more on a
day-to-day basis than he needs
to that is over and above what
is needed for the ambulance
study.
Klopp wanted to know why
Hambides was at the meeting
to decide on an architect for
the ambulance stations for a

whole day. Coun. Rob Morley,
South Huron, also questioned
by Hambides was in
attendance for the day.
"Enough is enough," he
said. Lets hire Hambides for
another six months then say
thank you and let the new
ambulance manager take over.
Coun. Carol Mitchell,
Central Huron, didn't agree
with Klopp and said that it has
already been ,decided .that the
new ambulance manager
would face an excessive
workload if* they were also
responsible for looking after
compiling the data for the
ambulance study in addition to
their day to day duties.
"What does the data mean
and how does it apply? That's
why the county needs a
consultant, said Mitchell.
Architect hired
The firm of Gail E. Lamb
Incorporated Architect was
selected to provide
architectural services at a
fixed cost of $47,300 plus
taxes to design one ambulance
station model.
County council passed a
motion in May to put out a
call for tenders for
architectural services for the
design of three ambulance
stations in accordance with the
Ministry of Health
specifications. The three new
stations to be built will be in
the Exeter area,
Clinton/Seaforth and
Goderich.
In total the county received
10 submissions in response to
the tender. The five firms
shortlisted were Allan Avis
Architect $106,500; Gail E.
Lamb Inc. Architect $47,300;
dga Architect/BKL
Engineering $57,300; Thomas
E. Brown, Architect $77,000;
Atkins Architect $72,000
(serviced) $76,000 (site not
serviced). All prices are
exclusive of taxes.
Invitations were extended to
the above five bidders, but
Allan Avis Architect declined
due to other project
commitments.
Exeter ambulance property
site approved by county
council
The Veri property is the last
vacant serviced property
before the railway tracks. The
parcel is 1.9 acres, of which
the County would need
approximately half an acre
since the property is serviced.
The Veri's have indicated that
they expect to receive $75.000
an acre.
County councillors carried a
motion at their meeting on
September 6, to purchase the
one acre Veri property for
$75,000.
Coun. Paul Klopp,
Bluewater, did not support the
motion he said the county
should be prudent and not
spend that money at this time.
