RECOMMENDATION(S):
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with American Medical Response West (AMR), effective April 1, 2017, to revise the payment provisions and update Exhibit D (Ambulance Unit Hour Rates) in the Service Plan with no change to original term or payment limit, for emergency ambulance services.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The AMR ambulance unit hour rate increase is intended to be cost neutral. The District's ambulance service rates will increase by 3.8%, but only a fraction of amounts billed are actually collected. That fraction is applied to the 3.8% CPI increase to determine AMR's ambulance unit hour rate increase. AMR collects 100% of ambulance unit hours invoiced to the District.
