Summary of Request

For approximately 30 years, the County of Mendocino has contracted with California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) for dispatch services for fire and emergency medical response. On April 5, 2022, the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors entered into Agreement No. BOS-22-084, in the amount of $4,165,206 extending through June 30, 2026, through which Cal Fire provides fire and emergency medical services dispatch services to local Fire Services Agencies and Ambulance providers in Mendocino County who are signatory to the Operational Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of November 1994.

 

While Cal Fire is the primary California Office of Emergency Services (OES) Fire and Rescue Coordination Center for Mendocino County, Coastal Valley Emergency Medical Services designated the Howard Forest Emergency Command Center (HFECC) as Mendocino County’s Air Ambulance Coordination Center. As a result, HFECC is the secondary Public Safety Answering point for Mendocino County. Through Agreement No. BOS-22-084, dispatch services are provided at the respective locations, twenty-four hours per day, seven days per week throughout the Agreement period.

 

The proposed Amendment to Agreement No. BOS-22-084 adds a paragraph to Exhibit E, addressing Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) enhancement in accordance with the Cal Fire CAD system. Once the proposed Amendment is executed, it will be effective for the full term of the Agreement, from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026.
