EXHIBIT A 11.2 The minimum of six (6) fire fighters shall be maintained to respond to Livermore Division regardless of other emergency calls that may require the use of this fire station staffing, or any portion thereof(i.e. an ambulance or rescue call that could draw the staffing level below the minimum number of fire fighters). In the case of another emergency call, the minimum staffing could be maintained by the use of mutual aid agreements with other agencies or move up and cover in of other contractor resources (i.e. bringing in an engine company or additional fire fighters from other fire stations). 12.0 Fire Suppression Tasks: 12.1 The Contractor shall maintain a fire watch on all structural fires and wild land fires following suppression until there is no possibility that a rekindle may occur. 12.2 The Contractor shall overhaul and perform salvage operations during and following a fire in accordance with accepted practices as described in the appropriate International Fire Service Training Association (IFSTA) Manuals. 12.3 The Contractor shall not permit unauthorized entry by persons into a fire-damaged building until the security of the building is turned over to the appropriate authority. 13.0 Mutual Aid: 13.1 (Definition) — Mutual aid is an agreement among emergency responders to lend assistance across jurisdictional boundaries. This may occur due to an emergency response that exceeds local resources, such as a disaster or a multiple-alarm fire. It is generally a formal standing agreement for cooperative emergency management on a continuing basis, such as ensuring that resources are dispatched from the nearest fire station, regardless of which side of the jurisdictional boundary the incident is on. Mutual aid may also extend beyond local response. In the case of multiple alarm fires, mass casualty incidents, HazMat incidents, the municipality may call in resources from surrounding towns to either respond directly to the incident scene or take up quarters in their fire and Emergency Management Services (EMS) stations and respond to other incidents in that city or town when local crews are handling a protracted incident. Where a town has no resources of its own, it will contract with a surrounding town or towns to provide coverage. 13.2 The Contractor shall request mutual aid from fire departments covered under mutual aid agreements or contracts when any fire or emergency is beyond the control of the Contractor operated Fire Department. 13.3 The Contractor shall honor all existing mutual aid agreement(s). The Contractor shall submit proof to the COR that such agencies will provide backup support to the Contractor operated department, to include but not be limited to engine and/or truck (aerial ladder or elevating platform) response within their capability. The Contractor shall maintain records of all agreements and provide a copy of any new mutual aid agreements to the COR. 14.0 Emergency Medical Service and Rescue: 14.1 The Contractor shall have the equipment and training necessary to respond to requests for emergency medical aid and rescue at the Livermore Division.
