Subject:Amendment Agreement #23-367-9 with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
2012, the Board of Supervisors approved Contract #23-367-8 with Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, to
provide prehospital emergency medical first responder services of its First Responder Paramedic Program, for the
period from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015, which included mutual indemnification to hold both parties harmless
for any claims arising out of the performance of the contract.
On May 14, 2013, the Board of Supervisors authorized the County’s Health Services Emergency Medical Services
Division approval of CSA EM-1 fire agency funding, based on a population-based funding formula, to partially offset
cost to the to fire agencies providing first responder Paramedic services in Zone B. The transition to the
population-based funding formula requires adjustment of the total payment limit of the current Contract.
Approval of Contract Amendment Agreement #23-367-9 will allow the Contractor to continue to provide First
Responder Paramedic Program services with a modified payment provision through June 30, 2015, as approved by
the Board of Supervisors and agreed upon by the parties.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, County will not be able to reimburse Contractor for the cost of prehospital
emergency medical first responder services within Contra Costa County Fire Protection District, until patient care is
assumed by County’s emergency ambulance contractor.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not Applicable.
