RIVERSIDE is a Missouri political subdivision in proximity to the CITY and desires to secure from the CITY advanced life support ambulance transport services. The CITY has the equipment and personnel to render such service and is willing to do so pursuant to Missouri law authorizing political subdivisions of the state to enter into mutual agreements providing such services for specified fees. THEREFORE,IT IS MUTUALLY AGREED, for and in consideration of the fee to be paid for advanced life support ambulance transport services, and in consideration of mutual agreements between the CITY and RIVERSIDE, that: 1) The CITY agrees to provide advanced life support ambulance transport services, which are defined as an ambulance unit equipped to deliver advanced life support services and staffed by at least two licensed emergency medical technicians, at least one of whom will be certified and licensed by the State of Missouri as an advanced life support provider and granted privileges in the KCFD system by the CITY's medical director. 2) RIVERSIDE agrees that the CITY shall be the exclusive authorized response entity for advanced life support ambulance transport services, provided however, that RIVERSIDE may, in its sole discretion, direct dispatch of an air ambulance provider if it determines that such use is warranted. If an air unit is requested, the KCFD provider assuming care of the patient may, at his or her sole discretion, cancel such unit and proceed with ground transport. No liability for the dispatch of an air unit or its cancellation shall accrue to KCFD. 3) All parties agree to manage incident scenes accordingly to NIMS protocols. Primary patient care will be initiated by the first arriving qualified provider. Responsibility for patient care initiated by Riverside will be transferred to the City's paramedic on arrival, with Riverside personnel continuing to assist as needed or requested. Riverside personnel, if requested,will assist with providing care during transport under the direction of the transport paramedic." 4) The area to be provided advanced life support ambulance transport services by the CITY shall be that territory lying within the boundaries of RIVERSIDE as appears in Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein. 5) The term of this agreement is twelve months, beginning June 15, 2021 to April 30 2022, subject to the provisions and cancellation clause appearing herein. Thereafter, this agreement shall automatically renew at the end of the initial one- year term for five additional one-year periods subject to the provisions and cancellation clause appearing herein. In the interests of public safety,the CITY may continue to provide services after the expiration of this agreement for the purpose of avoiding an interruption in such services while a new agreement is being prepared or negotiated. 6) CITY is authorized to bill for and collect fees for advanced life support ambulance transport services in accordance with its established rates, which shall accrue solely to CITY. 7) RIVERSIDE agrees that, in addition to those fees, it will provide an annual subsidy to offset that portion of the cost of providing service and readiness not covered by fees collected. 8) The annual fee for the term of this agreement is $94,326.00. After the first one- year term of this agreement such $94,326.00 annual fee shall automatically be adjusted each year to reflect an increase equal to the increase in the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor's U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for All Urban Consumers(CPI-U) in the Midwest Region over a twelve- month period as measured in January of the year a new term of this agreement begins. The annual fee shall be payable by RIVERSIDE to the City in four equal quarterly installments made annually with the first such installment due three months after the beginning of a one-year term of the agreement. 9) Advanced life support ambulance services shall be initiated when the authorized communications center for RIVERSIDE transfers the call to the KCFD Communications for medical call taking and assignment, or when the authorized communications center for RIVERSIDE communicates the address of the call and the request for ambulance response. 10) KCFD Communications Center will assign and dispatch advanced life support ambulance resources in accordance with Medical Priority Dispatch System determinants and priorities established for the KCFD system. 11) RIVERSIDE agrees to obtain and maintain, throughout the term of this agreement, insurance coverages for general liability and automobile liability insurance, identifying the CITY as an additional insured. Said insurance shall provide the CITY liability coverage in the sum of not less than One Million and no/100 Dollars($1,000,000.00) single limit coverage to defend and indemnify the CITY, its agents, officials, officers and employees against claims for injuries, death, loss or damage to persons or property, including attorney' s fees and costs, caused by negligent acts and omissions and arising directly or indirectly from the furnishing of advanced life support ambulance transport services in accordance with this Agreement. 12) CITY agrees that it will comply with all applicable state and federal laws and regulations governing the provision of advanced life support ambulance transport services, which includes that all ambulances dispatched to RIVERSIDE shall conform to Missouri Department of Health& Senior Services specifications and regulations. 13) Except as may otherwise be provided in the existing Emergency Medical Services Memorandum of Understanding between the parties, all equipment used by the CITY in carrying out this Agreement, at the time of acting hereunder, will be owned by or be under the control of the CITY, and all personnel providing advanced life support ambulance services hereunder shall be employees or volunteers of CITY. 14) RIVERSIDE understands and agrees that it shall not exercise any control over the professional aspects of providing advanced life support ambulance transport services, which control and direction shall be the sole responsibility of CITY. 15) It is recognized that the interests herein are mutual and the contract is entered into for the common good of the general public of both political subdivisions, party hereto, and for a strictly governmental purpose. This agreement may be modified at any time, in any respect, by the mutual agreement of the parties in writing. 16) CITY shall not assign or transfer this Agreement without prior written approval of RIVERSIDE. 17) The provisions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to create any third party benefit hereunder for any member of the public or to authorize any one, not a party hereto, to maintain suit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 18) This agreement may be canceled by either party, such cancellation becoming effective sixty (60) days after posting with the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, a written Notice of Termination to the other party, signatory to this Agreement.
