FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY AND HARTSON MEDICAL SERVICE
FOR BASIC AND ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT SERVICES
This amends the Agreement of October 1, 1987 (adopted by Resolution
No. 15,430) between National City and Hartson's Medical Service for Basic
and Advanced Life Support Services. The express purpose of this
amendment is to further insure that the citizens of National City receive
the highest level of emergency medical transportation services without a
direct subsidy from the City of National City to the provider of said
services.
Therefore, the parties agree as follows:
1. SERVICES
Hartson's agrees to add to each ambulance transport billing a "First
Responder Training Charge" of $25.00 for each transport beginning
October 1, 1989.
The City understands and recognizes the that all or a portion of the
$25.00 additional charge will not be collected for many transports due to
patient non-payment, state and federal regulations and other related
factors. The parties agree that a forty percent (40$) collection rate can
reasonably be assumed on average for this additional charge. Therefore,
Hartson agrees to pay $10.00 for each ALS transport occurring within
National City on and after October 1, 1989 regardless of actual
collections.
The $10 fee per ALS transport shall be payable to the National City
Finance Director beginning April 1, 1990 with subsequent payments at the
end of each 90 day period thereafter during the term of the Agreement or
any extension.
2. FEE ADJUSTMENT
The amount of the additional charge shall be automatically increased
each time and by the same percentage rate as the Base Ambulance Rate is
adjusted pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement dated October 1, 1987.
3. COMPENSATION
This amendment shall not create additional costs for National City.
4. TERM
This effective date of this amendment shall be October 1, 1989. The
termination date shall be identical with the terms specified in Section #14
of the October 1, 1987 Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this agreement to
be executed the day and year first herein set forth.
