Meeting Date: September 27, 1982
SUBJECT : Emergency Ambulance Service Program Agreement
EXHIBITS ATTACHED : Letter from Ben H. Mathew, County EMS, dated September 7, 1982
Agreement
Resolution
RECOMMENDATION • Adopt reso lution Approving agreement
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Estimated Cost - $5,000
Amount Budgeted - $5,000
DESCRIPTION The City has been notified by Alameda County that the Board of
Supervisors has approved the renewal of the Emergency Ambulance
Agreement with Fremont/Tri-Cities Ambulance Service, Inc. , for
• a three-year term beginning July 1 , 1982 and ending June 30, 1985.
The Agreement provides emergency ambulance service to Zone IX,
which.includes Dublin, Pleasanton, Livermore and the surrounding
unincorporated areas of the County.
Under the terms of the agreement, the City would be required to reimburse the County
for all dry run services rendered by the ambulance provider within the City of Dublin,
and all standby services requested by either Dublin Police or the Dublin San Ramon Services
District Fire Department.
There are approximately 450 ambulance calls per year in the City of Dublin. Of those calls,
approximately 160 result in dry runs (no transport). Standby services are seldom ever used
within the City of Dublin.
The cost to the City is $31 .50 per run or approximately $5,000 per year.
All cities in the County with the exception of Piedmont and Albany contract with the
County for ambulance service. The fire service provides ambulance services in Piedmont
and Albany. The cost to the City of contracting with the County for emergency ambulance
services is reduced to the extent that the County subsidizes the service by paying the
ambulance company for all uncollectibles. By contracting with the County the City becomes
part of an existing system with standards of performance, methods of handling complaints
and mechanisms for insuring adequate coverage.
Other alternatives available to the City include:
1 ) City independently contracts with the private ambulance company. This would probably
cost the City more and the City would lose the expertise and manpower available to
assure adequate standards of performance.

2) City provides its own ambulance service. Not recommended for reasons in #1 above.
3) City does not enter into any contract for ambulance service. Under this alternative
either no service would be provided or the County and the City could become involved
in a lawsuit over responsibility for the service.
4) . Contract with Dublin San Ramon Services District to provide service. The District
might not be willing to enter into such an arrangement. Cost would be greater than
County contract.
Recommendation:
It is Staff's recommendation that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the attached
emergency ambulance service agreement.
