RECOMMENDATION(S):

CONSIDER whether to approve a contract extension or Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) agreement with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District for continued emergency ambulance service in the County’s Emergency Response Area IV, and the terms under which an extension or MOU should be granted.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No anticipated General Fund impact; this is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 5, 2018, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-055-20 (as amended by Amendment Agreements #23-055-21 and #23-055-22) with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District for the provision of emergency ambulance services in Emergency Response Area IV, for the period November 1, 2018 through October 31, 2020.

The Health Services department has prepared a contract extension to the above agreement which would be effective through October 31, 2021. As an alternative, the District is requesting consideration of an alternate MOU by the Board, which will be discussed at today's meeting. Both documents are attached for reference.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Contract #23-055-22 would expire on October 31, 2020 without a new agreement in place.

CLERK'S ADDENDUM

EXTENDED the contract for 60 days with that understanding that San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District and County Counsel shall meet a minimum of 3 times within that 60 day period to determine whether an agreement can be reached in regard to a Memorandum of Understanding or contract extension.
