RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Interagency Agreement #23-228-14 with the Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District, a public agency, in an amount not to exceed $268,524, to support the Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District paramedic emergency medical first responder program within the cities of Moraga and Orinda, for the period October 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $268,524 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by CSA EM-1 (Measure H) revenues. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

The Moraga Fire Protection District has provided paramedic ambulance services in Emergency Response Area 3 continuously since 1971 and has provided this service at the paramedic level since initiation of paramedic services in Contra Costa County in 1977. In July 1997, Moraga and Orinda Fire Districts consolidated into one new district.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #23-228-13 with the Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District in an amount not to exceed $278,244 to provide prehospital emergency medical paramedic first responder services, for the period from October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2022.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #23-228-14 will allow the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Division to continue to provide the Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District with funding for its paramedic emergency medical first responder program through June 30, 2025. This contract includes 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 Moraga Orinda Fire Protection District will not meet California Code of Regulations requirement to be an authorized Advanced Life Support (ALS) (Paramedic) Provider nor will it be eligible for Measure H First Responder and ALS program support. This would negatively impact patient care within Contra Costa County.
