RECOMMENDATION(S):

Acting as the Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors and the Governing Board of the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director and the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District Chief, or designees, to execute Interagency Agreement #23-367-11, in an amount not to exceed $1,533,722 for the Fire Protection District, a public agency, to continue to provide First Responder Paramedic Program Services, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no County General Fund impact. All payments are funded under County Service Area (CSA) EM-1 (Measure H). No change in rates.

BACKGROUND:

County Service Area EM-1 was established in 1989 to provide enhanced emergency medical services, including rapid paramedic-staffed ambulance response, to the residents of Contra Costa County. In May, 2013, the Board of Supervisors adopted the population based allocation formula (CSA-EM1 Zone B fire agencies) to preserve the First Response Funding affected by reductions associated with fire station closures. On July 10, 2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-367-8 (as amended by Contract Amendments #23-367-9 and #23-367-10) with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, to provide prehospital emergency medical first responder services of its First Responder Paramedic Program, for the period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015.

Approval of this Interagency Agreement #23-367-11 will allow the Emergency Medical Services Division to continue to provide the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District with funding of its First Responder Paramedic Program, through June 30, 2016, including mutual indemnification to hold both parties harmless for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive from Contractor prehospital emergency medical first responder services, within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, and patient care will not be assumed by County’s emergency ambulance contractor.
