RECOMMENDATION(S):

Correct the Board Order which was approved by the Board of Supervisors on November 6, 2012, (C.70) with the California Shock Trauma Air Rescue, a non-profit corporation, to reflect the intent of the parties, to change the contract term from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2014 to January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014 for the provision of air ambulance patient transport services as requested by County’s Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This is a non financial contract. The Contractor agrees to pay County the required initial and the renewal authorization fees as specified in the Contra Costa EMS Agency Fee Policy for each year of this agreement. (No County match required).

BACKGROUND:

On November 6, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-515, with the California Shock Trauma Air Rescue (CALSTAR) to provide air ambulance patient transport services, within the jurisdiction of Contra Costa County without interruption, twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, and fifty-two (52) weeks per year.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This Contractor is recognized as a multi-jurisdictional air provider, whose jurisdiction of origin is headquartered out of Sacramento County with a base of operations in Concord, Vacaville and Sacramento. Contractor will work cooperatively with the EMS Agency, allowing the County’s EMS Division, to utilize air ambulance patient transport services.

The purpose of this board order is to correct the contract term to reflect intent of the parties, therefore allowing the Contractor to provide services from January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2014, including mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this Contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the County EMS Division will not be able to utilize the vendor’s service and the County will have to find other means of patient transport services within the jurisdiction of Contra Costa County.
