TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Providence Service Corporation (NASDAQ:PRSC) today announced that its LogistiCare subsidiary, the nation's largest coordinator of non-emergency transportation (NET) services, has received notice of award from the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged to provide Medicaid non-emergency transportation services to both Miami-Dade and Volusia Counties. The award, estimated to be worth $14 million in revenue over the initial 18 month term, is subject to finalized contracts and various processing procedures. LogistiCare has served Miami-Dade County in this capacity since 1989 and the contract renewal is the result of a competitive RFP process.

There is also the potential for three additional one-year renewals. LogistiCare was awarded a new contract for Volusia County on the same terms as the Miami-Dade contract. The Volusia County contract has an initial contract value of approximately $2.9 million for the January 1, 2010 through June 30, 2011 period, or an effective annual rate of approximately $1.9 million.
