Emergency Response Area IV is one of five ambulance operating areas in Contra Costa County. On December 9, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved an ambulance services contract with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (Contract No. 23-055-19) for the provision of emergency ambulance services in Emergency Response Area IV (San Ramon Valley area) through October 31, 2018. This contract, as amended by Contract Nos. 23-055-20 through 23-055-23, expires February 28, 2021. The County and the Fire District have been negotiating a new long-term emergency ambulance services contract that would authorize the District to continue providing emergency ambulance services in Emergency Response Area IV pursuant to the State EMS Act. The purpose of extending the term of the existing contract with the Fire District from February 28, 2021, through April 30, 2021, is to give the parties more time to continue negotiating a long-term contract.
The current contract would expire on February 28, 2021.
