1. The need for this project(for instance- Our county wide ambulance service has been BLS since its inception.

simplex VHF system now. Due to the simplex system, our two ambulances and other responders consistently are
unable to communicate with each other. The 800 MHz"backbone" is in place and Weld County can convert our
system with our purchase of hardware.
2. Ambulance: Tri-Area owns three ambulances. Two are required to be in-service 24/7. Two of the three have
over 70,000 miles. Our shortest transport is 7 miles and our longest can be over 30 miles. In addition to long
transport, the section of Weld County we serve still has an extensive network of unpaved roads. In addition to wear
and tear of the chassis, we are incurring and increased amount of repairs to the patient box from unpaved roads. To
maintain complete availability, this grant is requesting a lightbar,pram and VHF radio in addition to the 800MHz

JUSTIFY WHY IS THIS PROJECT NEEDED
What do you need?
Priority I: 800 MHz radios:
Our current ambulance to dispatch and ambulance to ambulance communications are based on a simplex VHF system.
We consistency are unable to communicate with the other ambulance,other EMS or Fire responders. We investigated
a repeatered system for our area and found the price to be comparable with conversion to the 800 system,without any
of the benefits of the 800 system. The base of our conversion is centered on 5 handheld radios. In addition,to the
radios,we will need 5 extra batteries,cases and remote mikes. The 5 radios will allow us to continue our system as
designed today. Tri-Are staffs two(2)ALS ambulances 24/7. Due to the need to communicate with Weld County
(800MHz)and Boulder County(VHF)the duty crews will carry both an 800MHz and VHF handheld and access to
vehilce mounted VHF radios. This designed required four(4)radios. In addition,we would utilize one(I)radio per
each backup ambulance and one(1)for the Tri-Area Operations Manager.
Priority 2:Ambulance,lightbar,VHF radio,pram
Tri-Area currently owns three ambulances.
1999 type III,Ford/Wheeled Coach,miles:28,500
1997 type III,Ford/McCoy Miller,miles: 75,000
1996 type III,Ford/Wheeled Coach,miles: 71,000
To cover our response area,two(2)ambulances are in service and staffed 24/7. Both the 1996 and 1997 have their
assorted repair issues with the ford components. In addition to the Ford components,both also are having patient box
issues. When one ambulance is out for repairs,we function without a backup ambulance
What and whom do you serve and why do they need your project?
Priority I: Radios: The first group to benefit from the conversion to the 800 system is the staff. Currently,the communication
system creates a staff safety issue. The inability to consistently communication exposes the staff to extreme risk due to the
rural area we serve and lack of timely law enforcement. In addition consistent communications will benefit the residents and
people traveling on the 20 miles of I-25 we serve from the timely coordinated response of appropriate resources.
The staff,residents and visitors to and through our area would benefit from our ability to field a functional ambulance/.
What area do you serve?
Tri-Area Ambulance protects approximately 140 square miles of the very southwest corner of Weld County.
Approximately 85 square miles lies within the tax district of Tri-Area Ambulance. The other represents areas we
provide ALS care and transport to through Intergovernmental Agreements. This includes the towns or cities of Erie,
Dacono,Frederick,Firestone,Evanston and Meade. The area included small urban cities, light to moderate industrial
areas as well as frontier farm and livestock areas and a 20 section of I-25. In year 200 45%of all responses were for
motor vehicle accidents,with a significant number just on our section of I-25.
This area is best described as Colorado highway 7 to the south,Weld County Road I to the west,Weld County Road
17 to the east and Weld County Road 36 to the north. This included I-25,north and south bound from mile marker
227 to 247.
Our District utilizes many hospitals depending on patient request and need. Longmont United Hospital is the shortest
transport at between 7-20 miles.Level I or II Trauma Centers require transport to Denver,Fort Collins or Greeley,
involving drives of 20-40 miles. In year 2000 we averaged 1 hour and 50 minutes to complete a call.
County Plan Reference(see instructions on opposite page):
Year 200 Weld County EMS Plan:
Priority 1 Radios:
Section 2.1.B: IDENTIFY AREAS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT
In a five-year plan,the entire Weld County Communication system,with the exception of the paging system,will be
converted to the 800 MHz system. The 800 MHz system will replace all other frequencies being used.
... The conversion begins in the year 2001.
Section 2.1.C GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Communication Goal#1
Continue with the implementation plan for conversion of the current radio system to 800 MHz.
Priority 2:Ambulance
Section 2.2.B IDENTIFY AREAS NEEDING IMPROVEMENT
Maintain as a minimum, current fleet status
Section 2.2.C GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Transportation Goal#2
To maintain capable fleet for the treatment and transportation of the patient in and around the county.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT AND HOW YOUR PROJECT UPGRADES EMS
(See instructions on opposite page)
Priority I: 800 MHz radios:Clear and consistent communications.,decreasing response times and increasing staff
safety.
Priority 2:Ambulance and related equipment: Provides a safe,comfortable and dependable mode of transporting the
sick and injured of our community.
3
How will the project provide for a long-term solution to the current problem?
Priority 1,Radios:
The State of Colorado has determined the 800 MHz system is the standard for public safety.
The 800 MHz system addresses and corrects all deficiencies in the current system.
Priority 2,Ambulance and related equipment:
Wear and tear on vehicles is part of the business. Adding an additional ambulance to the fleet will
Allow us in spread this wear and tear over four vehicles instead of three vehicles.
If this project is funded,how will the project be sustained in subsequent years?
Priority 1,Radios:
The County of Weld has developed and incurred the cost for the"backbone"of the"800 MHz system.
Tri-Area continues to budget and participate in the county-wide radio maintenance program. This program allows us to
provide emergency repairs and preventative maintenance at the best possible cost. The addition of 800 MHz radios will
not significantly alter our insurance policy premium,paid for out of the regular budget.
Priority 2,Ambulance and related equipment:
Fuel,preventative maintenance and insurance is budgeted. Adding a new vehicle to the rotation should only have a
positive impact on the budget.All associated ongoing costs will be covered with existing budget.
List other any options you have researched to meet the need,and provide dollar amounts of other options you have
explored.
Priority I, Radios:
No other option. Weld County and the State of Colorado want all public safety provided converted to the 800 MHz
system.
Priority 2,Ambulance and related equipment:
Not adding another ambulance. Current costs are undeterminably. The need to add another ambulance will continue
making us vulnerable to increased initial cost.
Explain why this is the most cost-effective way of meeting the need.
Priority I, Radios:
Covered above
Priority 2,Ambulance and related equipment:
Covered above

EMS Provider Information(cont'd)
EMS Service Area and Geographic Description:
Tri-Area Ambulance District(TAAD)was established in 1985 as a special tax District to provide Paramedic care to the
residents and visitors of the City of Dacono,Towns of Frederick and Firestone and the surrounding rural area.
TAAD is located in a rural setting that is rapidly becoming a suburb of the Front Range encompassing approximately 85 sqaure
miles of the very southwest corner of Weld County. This area includes 20 miles of I-25, 75 miles of paved highway or county
roads and over 70 miles of unpaved county roads. Our closest hospital is between 7 and 19 transport miles. Level I or II
Trauma Centers in Denver,Greeley or Fort Collins are 30-40 transport miles. The 20 miles of I-25 account for 40%of all year
2000 responses. TAAD can also utilize helicopter transport from AirLife,Denver,AirLife,Greeley or Flight for Life,Denver.
The major areas of Dacono,Firestone,Frederick,Erie and the I-25 corridor are in the mist of a major growth wave.
The service area is basically Colorado State Highway 7 to the south. Weld County Road 1 (East County Line)to the west.
Weld County road 17 to the east and Weld County road 38 to the north. TAAD responds to 1-25 from mile marker 227 to 247.
