14 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> rite <br /> pL£AS�4NTON; CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> June 21, 2011 <br /> Fire <br /> TITLE: AUTHORIZE AN EXTENSION TO THE FIRST RESPONDER <br /> ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE <br /> CITY AND THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The County of Alameda (County) has an existing agreement with the City for the <br /> Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department (LPFD) to provide First Responder Advanced <br /> Life Support (FRALS) services. A new contract is currently under negotiation. The <br /> proposed amendment extends the current agreement through October 31, 2011 or until <br /> the date the new agreement is executed by both the City and County, whichever date is <br /> sooner. This Agreement also includes an Equipment Loan Agreement between the City <br /> and Paramedics Plus, the Advanced Life Support (ALS) provider for County. See <br /> Attachment 1. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff requests the City Council authorize the City Manager to approve an amendment to <br /> the FRALS agreement between the City and the County. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> The County currently compensates the City for the 5-LPFD paramedic units that provide <br /> FRALS services in the event of a medical emergency. Extension of the FRALS <br /> agreement allows the City to remain eligible to receive compensation for first responder <br /> paramedic services provided by the LPFD. Anticipated revenues are included in the <br /> City Revenue forecast for fiscal year 2011-12. The acceptance of the Equipment Loan <br /> Agreement eliminates the need for the LPFD to purchase 14 monitors and chest <br /> compression devices ($588,000). The City's savings, per the cost sharing agreement <br /> for the LPFD would be $311,446. <br />
