RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to execute an agreement with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District extending the term of the existing emergency ambulance agreement for Emergency Response Area IV through February 28, 2021, and authorizing further contract negotiations with the District.

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.

On October 20, 2020, the Board of Supervisors authorized a 60 day extension of the contract to allow for continued discussions with the District. Today's action provides authority for the Chair of the Board to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the District to extend the contract term through February 28, 2021, and set forth the parameters for negotiating a long-term ambulance services contract between the County and the District pursuant to Health and Safety Code Section 1797.224.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The current contract would expire on December 31, 2020.
