RECOMMENDATION(S):

RESCIND Board action on May 11, 2021 (C.58), which pertained to a contract with San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District; and APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute on behalf of the County Agreement #23-581-4 with San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, a government agency, in an amount not to exceed $393,750, to coordinate the services of a Fire Services Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Medical Director, for the period from December 15, 2020 through December 14, 2023.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Approval of this contract will result in budgeted expenditures of up to $393,750 for a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by Measure H funding.

BACKGROUND:

The County has been contracting with San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District since December 2015. The purpose of this agreement is to provide enhancements in fire service based education, training, patient safety and quality improvement for fire services providers within the Contra Costa EMS Systems. On August 20, 2015, the San Ramon Valley Fire Department’s Board of Directors authorized to recruit and hire a Fire Services EMS Medical Director on behalf of the following protection agencies: East Contra Costa Fire Protection District, El Cerrito Fire Department, Moraga Orinda Fire District, Pinole Fire Department, Richmond Fire Department, Rodeo-Hercules Fire Protection District and San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District.

On November 19, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Agreement #23-581-3 with San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, in an amount not to exceed $150,000 to coordinate the services of a Fire Services EMS Medical Director, for the period December 15, 2019 through December 14, 2020.

On May 11, 2021 the Board of Supervisors approved C.58, Contract #23-581-4, however, the payment limit on the Board Order was incorrect. This Board Order will rescind that incorrect Board Order and allow the payment limit to be in an amount not to exceed $393,750. This will allow the contractor to be paid for coordinating the services of a Fire Services EMS Medical Director through December 14, 2023.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the recommendation is not approved, the prior incorrect Board action will stand and the department will not have Board authorization to provide payment for the full term of the contract and Contra Costa County’s EMS Systems will not receive enhancements supporting education, training, patients safety and quality improvements for its providers.
