In accordance with Laws of Fla. ch. 71-556, the board of county commissioners shall
have the power to set, at its option, by ordinance under the provisions of F.S. §
125.01, or by resolution or agreement, the method and procedure to be used in awarding
and granting such franchise or franchises to any responsible person, firm or corporation;
provided, however, the board shall have the absolute right, in its discretion, to
grant an exclusive or nonexclusive franchise by agreement with any person, firm or
corporation actively engaged in furnishing ambulance services within the county as
of the effective date of this article through the execution of an exclusive or nonexclusive
franchise agreement directly with such person, firm or corporation without the necessity
of receiving competitive bids or proposals. As a condition precedent to entering into
any agreement awarding a franchise, whether by resolution, ordinance or agreement,
a prospective franchisee shall first obtain a certificate of public convenience and
necessity in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
