RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director or designee, to execute Interagency Agreement #23-551-3 with the City of Richmond on behalf of its Fire Department, in an amount not to exceed $669,066, to provide prehospital emergency medical first responder services, for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract is funded 100% under County Service Area (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. 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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On June 16, 2015, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-551-1, as amended by Amendment/Extension Agreement #23-551-2, with the City of Richmond on behalf of its Fire Department, to provide funding for Fire First Responder Emergency Medical services, for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2019.

Approval of this Interagency Agreement #23-551-3, will allow the County to continue providing funding for First Responder and Emergency Medical services, through June 30, 2022. This contract includes mutual indemnification.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, County will not receive prehospital emergency medical first responder services, within the Richmond Fire District.
