RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Auditor-Controller, on behalf of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, to make a payment to American Medical Response West in the amount of $20,686 for paramedic staffing of COVID-19 vaccination clinics in February and March 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will provide reimbursement for vaccination distribution and administration at a 100% cost share until Sept. 30, 2021.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California and Contra Costa County Health Services Department requested the fire service’s support to significantly expand delivery capacity of the COVID-19 vaccine. The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District), along with all of the fire agencies within the County and American Medical Response West (AMR), operated vaccination clinics to distribute COVID-19 vaccines in the County. In December 2020 and January 2021, the vaccine was offered to first responders. Clinics serving the general public began in February 2021.

The District will pay AMR for the cost of their personnel used in the clinics. The District will then request reimbursement, through Contra Costa County, from FEMA. This request is for the cost of AMR staffing for February and March 2021.
