RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute an agreement with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District extending the term of the existing emergency ambulance agreement for Emergency Response Area IV through October 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No anticipated General Fund impact; this is a nonfinancial agreement.

BACKGROUND:

Emergency Response Area IV is one of five ambulance operating areas in Contra Costa County. On December 9, 2008, the Board of Supervisors approved an ambulance services contract with the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District (Contract No. 23-055-19) for the provision of emergency ambulance services in Emergency Response Area IV (San Ramon Valley area). This contract as amended expires August 31, 2021. The County and the Fire District have been negotiating a new long-term emergency ambulance services contract that would authorize the District to continue providing emergency ambulance services in Emergency Response Area IV pursuant to the State EMS Act. The purpose of extending the term of the existing contract with the Fire District through October 31, 2021, is to give the parties more time to continue negotiating a long-term contract.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the current contract would expire.
