Tinley Park is currently facing legal action over a disputed $492,000 claim from its former ambulance provider, Trace Ambulance. The company alleges that the village owes them this amount for services rendered under their previous contract. Tinley Park officials have categorically denied these claims, insisting they do not owe Trace anything for past services. This ongoing dispute has been brewing since Tinley Park terminated its relationship with Trace Ambulance in favor of Kurtz Ambulance in 2014.
According to Christopher Vandenberg, president of Trace Ambulance, which is headquartered in Tinley Park, the company made numerous attempts to negotiate a settlement with the village. However, Tinley Park consistently refused to acknowledge any outstanding debt. "Regrettably, given the village's refusal to recognize any amounts owed, we had no choice but to pursue legal action to recover the funds we are contractually entitled to," Vandenberg stated via email.
Dave Niemeyer, Tinley Park's Village Manager, confirmed that the village is actively defending itself against the claim but chose not to provide further comments. Court documents reveal that Tinley Park denies any obligation to Trace Ambulance and disputes whether the company fulfilled all its contractual duties. The lawsuit was filed earlier this year in Will County. During a recent hearing, a judge set a status conference for January 5th.
The lawsuit seeks a court order affirming that Tinley Park must compensate Trace Ambulance according to their agreement. Although the complaint doesn't explicitly state the amount claimed, the $492,000 figure comes from a bill Trace sent last year that Tinley Park refused to honor, as mentioned by Niemeyer. Vandenberg expressed hope that the matter could be resolved amicably to avoid costly litigation, despite his familial connection to Trustee Jake Vandenberg, who has no financial stake in the company and hasn't participated in related board discussions.
The financial disagreement arose following Tinley Park's decision to award Kurtz Ambulance a three-year contract valued at approximately $3.7 million back in 2014. Trace and Kurtz were the sole bidders when the village sought a new provider. Trace argues that their expired contract mandated payment of $200 per hour for any additional ambulance services beyond the agreed quota. After being replaced, Trace calculated these extra hours from May 2010 onward and issued a final invoice totaling $492,206.
This invoice reached Tinley Park shortly after Kurtz assumed responsibility. In response, Tinley Treasurer Brad Bettenhausen expressed surprise, noting that no prior notification or periodic billing had indicated such charges existed. He pointed out that if legitimate costs had accrued, they should have been communicated regularly throughout the contract term, ideally annually. The village rejected Trace's claim, questioning both its validity and accuracy.
Selecting a new ambulance provider proved controversial. Tensions surfaced during a public safety meeting in May 2014 when officials disclosed that Kurtz's offer was significantly cheaper than Trace's. Trace representatives cautioned that switching providers amid healthcare industry transformations posed risks. Ultimately, Tinley Park justified the change by citing Trace's proposal being 21% pricier than Kurtz's.
Trace has provided emergency services to Tinley Park since 1979, with only a brief interruption in the 1990s, as village officials noted previously.
