City Clerk of the City of National City, California By: Deputy MEETING DATE 12/06/05 City of National City, California COUNCIL AGENDA STATEMENT ADDED ITEM AGENDA ITEM NO. (-ITEM TITLE Resolution of the City Council of the City of National City Authorizing the Mayor to Execute an Amendment to the Ambulance Services Agreement with American Medical Response to Extend Services for a Six Month Period Ending May 31,2006 PREPARED BY DEPARTMENT Donald Condon, EXPLANATION Battalion Chief (619) 3364552 Fire The City's ambulance services contract with American Medical Response (AMR) expired on November 30, 2005. AMR, at no cost to the City, has been providing basic and advance life support ambulance transportation services to the City since October 1, 1987. As a continuous measure and to ensure that ambulance services to the City are not interrupted, Staff is requesting permission to amend the current agreement for a six month period. This extension will be in effect from December 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006. The reason for this extension is to allow for the needed time to complete the RFP process. This process is required to obtain an agreement with a provider for Basic and Advance Life Support Ambulance Service. As part of this agreement, National City Fire Departmentwill be able to begin the process of providing paramedic level services with National City Firefighters to our community. Our current agreement with AMR allowed the City to unilaterally extend the Contract twice for one (1) year each period, if needed. Each one (1) year extension required the mutual consent of both parties to extend the Contract Term; both of these extensions have been utilized. Following this process we have received written notice of concurrent agreement to enact a six month extension beginning December 1, 2005 from American Medical Response. Environmental Review X N/A Financial Statement No financial impact, Ambulance Services Agreement is a fee for service with no City revenue subsidy. Account No. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Authorize Staff to amend our current agreement to allow for a 6 month extension of the American Medical Response Ambulance Services Agreement to ensure the continued delivery of ambulance services to the City.
