Q ualifications e Ambulnz has helped lead the COVID-19 response in NY, PA, FL, CA, TX, TN, CO, IL and NJ, supporting FEMA and the DOH — both with medical transport of COVID-patients, and conducting COVID and Antibody testing at DOH sites across the country. e We launched a new entity named Rapid Reliable Testing, dedicated to accelerating the availability of COVID-19 and antibody testing. We firmly believe that the testing process is crucial to the safe opening of our social, commercial and institutional life. We want to offer testing to as many people as possible in the safest and most efficient manner. e Rapid Reliable Testing is currently conducting over 25,000 COVID PCR tests per week across 26 states, a large portion of which for governmental municipalities. ¢ OurRNs, Paramedics, EMTs, Medical Technicians and support staff have developed a core competency with COVID Testing. ¢ We have partnerships with leading lab facilities around the country, including CLIA & CAP certified labs: BioReference Laboratories, Eurofins and Mako Medical. e We've already built out a secure HIPAA-compliant G-Suite based database and AWS cloud serverto simplify reporting of test results. Page 19 of 32 SERIAL 210111-RFP e Wehavea staff of 1,500 across the US and are able to deploy additional staff to start servicing Maricopa Countyand additional Arizona locations within days. e Rapid Reliable testing offers a turnkey solution that covers site set up, collection, delivery to labs, lab analysis (in partnership with our local lab partners), and results management. ¢ Rapid Reliable Testing was established by Ambulnz Holdings in April 2020, with the goal of providing COVID-19 and IgG antibody testing to help identify and reduce the spread of COVID-19. e Ambulnz Holdings is a technology-driven healthcare transportation company with subsidiaries in eight States and the United Kingdom.

In addition to having deep experience with all forms of medical transportation (CCT, ALS, BLS, Ambulette and medical sedan), Ambulnz is also the largest private ambulance company responding to COVID-19 in NYC. e Recognizing that access to testing would be a key barrier to getting businesses back to work and the public back to life, we launched Rapid Reliable Testing, hired a skilled medical director, and established partnerships with leading medical laboratories to secure access to test kits. Then, we deployed teams of medical professionals to perform COVID-19 and IgG antibody tests for our own staff of 1,500 employees across the US. We now offer full testing services to a range of sectors, including airlines, businesses, summer camps, production companies, hotels, retailers, nursing homes, event/arenas, municipalities, and at-home family testing. e Ambulnz and Rapid Reliable Testing’s extensive experience — both responding to COVID-19 and testing over 135,000 individuals for COVID-19 — make us ideally positioned to partner with the State on this important project: o Ambulnz helped lead the COVID-19 response in NY, NJ and PA, supporting both FEMA and the DOH in each of these States. o Our responsibilities included both medical transport of COVID-infected patients and conducting COVID-19 and antibody testing at DOH sites across the northeast region. o Ambulnz has transported over 13,000 COVID-19-infected patients across the US. As such, our staff has operational familiarity with COVID-19, and has been extensively trained in PPE use. o Ambulnz has built a core competency around COVID-19 medical transport. Our operational procedures have been codified in a COVID-19 Policy Manual, which we have distributed both internally to our staff, and externally to our hospital partners who found the information invaluable. (see Appended Document) Experience Ambulnz and Rapid Reliable Testing’s extensive experience — both responding to COVID-19 and testing tens of thousands of individuals for COVID-19 — make us ideally positioned to partner with the City of Phoenix, AZ on this important project: Our Doctors, LPNs, Paramedics, EMTs, Medical Technicians and support staff have developed a core competency with COVID Testing, and we’ve developed rigorous procedures to ensure smooth testing operations. We have a partnership with major labs that boasts CLIA & CAP certification. The volume of testing we complete ensures we have priority access to these labs, and we’re able to provide testing results to our clients within 48 hours from when the lab receives the samples.
