Report Title: Contract Amendment & Correction - American Medical Response
☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Fire Chief, or designee, to execute an amendment to contract 4577300 with American Medical Response West, to correct inadvertently removed Section K (Communications), Paragraph 2, from the prior Amendment entered into by parties on December 31, 2025.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with interim dispatch services will be invoiced by the Contractor on a daily-rate basis to recover actual expenses incurred. Sufficient funds are included in the District’s approved budget to cover these services.
BACKGROUND:
The District continues to require the Contractor’s interim dispatch services. However, Section K (Communications), Paragraph 2 (Interim Communications Center Operations), was inadvertently removed from the amendment executed on December 31, 2025.
This amendment corrects that omission by restoring the following provision:
• Section K (Communications), Paragraph 2 - Interim Communications Center Operations:
The Contractor shall invoice the District on a daily-rate basis for costs associated with providing interim dispatch services, reflecting the Contractor’s actual expenses.
All other terms and conditions of the existing contract and prior amendments not modified by this amendment shall remain in full force and effect.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If this amendment is not approved, the District would not be able to pay our contractor for services provided.
