DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS The Indian River Memorial Hospital currently leases four Chevrolet Station Wagon for the Paramedics to utilize in the ALS Service. The four (4) station wagons the Hospital has proposed to transfer to the County have all either exceeded or nearing the 72,000 mile limit specified in the lease. After the maximum mileage is obtained, the lease specifies an additional rate of $.06 cents per mile. If the contract is terminated early, other charges apply as well as additional charges if the vehicle is not purchased at the end of the lease 'period. The vehicles are not in good condition. Some have mechanical problems that would require either an engine overhaul or major repairs to reduce the consumption of oil. Further, some of the vehicles are in need of body repair and/or repainting. It does not appear economically feasible to lease the four station wagons that the Hospital has offered due to the high mileage, mech- anical condition of the vehicles, and costs that would be incurred to maintain them for the term of the lease. 22
