APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Interagency Agreement #22-402-17 with City of Richmond, on behalf of its Fire Department, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $788,854, to maintain a Hazardous Materials Response Unit and Hazardous Materials Emergency Vehicle, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This Interagency Agreement is funded 100% by Assembly Bill 2185 fees that County charges to businesses for the handling of hazardous materials, and is included in the Department’s budget. (No rate increase)

BACKGROUND:

On August 8, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved Interagency Agreement #22-402-16 with City of Richmond, on behalf of its Fire Department, for the period from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2019, to maintain a Hazardous Materials Response Unit in West County.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

Approval of Contract #22-402-17, will allow the Contractor to continue to maintain a Hazardous Materials Response Unit, the hazardous materials emergency response vehicle, and specialized training through June 30, 2021. This agreement includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of performance of this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this Interagency Agreement is not approved, Agency will not maintain a Hazardous Materials Response Team and Hazardous Materials Emergency Vehicle, leaving County without an effective response to hazardous material incidents in West Contra Costa County.
