RECOMMENDATION(S):

Approve and authorize the Health Services Director, or his designee, to execute, on behalf of the County, Interagency Agreement #23-228-11 with the Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District, an independent fire protection district, in an amount not to exceed $278,244, to provide prehospital emergency medical paramedic first responder services and emergency ambulance services, for the period October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Contract is funded 100% Measure H. (Rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

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. On July 10, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #23-228-9 (as amended by Contract Amendment Agreement #23-228-10) with Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District, to provide Prehospital Emergency Medical Paramedic First Responder services and Emergency Ambulance services, for the period from October 1, 2012 through September 30, 2015. Due to lengthy negotiations, the Division is requesting a start date of October 1, 2015 to avoid any disruptions in services.

Approval of Interagency Agreement #23-228-11 will allow Moraga-Orinda Fire District to continue providing services through September 30, 2018. This contract includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, Prehospital Emergency Medical Paramedic First Responder and Emergency Ambulance services will not be provided by Moraga-Orinda Fire District.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not Applicable.
