RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Contract #23-392-10 with the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District, a public agency, in an amount not to exceed $264,012, to fund first responder fire paramedic services by the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District within the City of Hercules and the unincorporated area of Rodeo, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% by CSA EM-1 (Measure H). (No rate increase)

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. On May 18, 2004, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County’s Health Services Emergency Medical Services Division to use CSA EM-1 funding to partially offset cost to the fire agencies of providing first responder Paramedic services in Zone B.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-392-8 (as amended by Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-392-9) with Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District for the period from July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019, to provide first responder fire paramedic services, for the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District.

Approval of Contract #23-392-10 will allow Contractor to continue to provide First Responder Paramedic Program services through June 30, 2022. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold harmless both parties for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not be able to reimburse Contractor for the cost of prehospital emergency medical first responder services within the Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District, until patient care is assumed by County’s emergency ambulance contractor.
