RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County, Contract Amendment/Extension Agreement #23–228–12 with Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District, a public agency, effective September 30, 2018, to amend Contract #23-228-11, to increase the payment limit by $92,748 from $278,244 to a new payment limit of $370,992 and to extend the termination date from September 30, 2018 to September 30, 2019 for First Responder Fire Paramedic Program services.

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no County General Fund impact. All payments are funded under CSA EM-1 (Measure H).

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.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

On April 19, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23–228–11 with Moraga-Orinda Fire Protection District, for the period from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2018, for the provision of pre-hospital emergency paramedic first responder fire services and emergency ambulance services, which included mutual indemnification to hold each party harmless for any claims arising out of the performance of the contract.

Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #23-228-12 will allow the contractor to continue to provide First Responder Fire Paramedic Program services through September 30, 2019.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this amendment is not approved, County will not be able to reimburse the contractor for the cost of pre-hospital emergency medical first responder services within the Moraga-Orinda Fire District, until patient care is assumed by County’s emergency ambulance contractor.
