RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to execute County Interagency Agreement #23-367-14 with the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (CCCFPD), a public agency, in an amount not to exceed $5,376,369 to provide standardized paramedic level emergency medical first responder services in coordination with the Contra Costa County Emergency Medical System and to satisfy regulatory requirements as an approved paramedic service provider, for the period July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract will result in contractual service expenditures of up to $5,376,369 over a 3-year period and will be funded 100% by CSA EM-1 (Measure H) revenue. (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 11, 2019, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-367-13 with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, in an amount not to exceed $4,601,166 to provide prehospital emergency medical first responder services of its First Responder Paramedic Program, for the period from July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022. County Interagency Agreement #23-367-14 includes the jurisdiction previously serviced by East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District that was recently annexed into CCCFPD.  
  
Approval of Interagency Agreement #23-367-14 will allow the Emergency Medical Services Division to continue to provide the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District with funding for its paramedic emergency medical first responder program through June 30, 2025. This contract includes mutual indemnification to hold both parties harmless for any claims arising out of the performance of this contract. This contract is retroactive due to lengthy language negotiations between the contractor and County staff. This contract is part of a comprehensive countywide process to standardize first responder Measure H contracts for fire agencies in Contra Costa County. The County has worked extensively to support CCCFPD throughout this contract update process.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this contract is not approved, the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District will not meet California Code of Regulations requirement to be an authorized Advanced Life Support (Paramedic) Provider nor will CCCFPD be eligible for Measure H First Responder and ALS program support. This would negatively impact patient care within the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District.
