SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING ADDENDUM NO. 1 FOR A ONE MONTH
EXTENSION OF THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO AND
AMERICAN MEDICAL RESPONSE OF COLORADO, INC. CONCERNING
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
SUMMARY:
The attached resolution authorizes the City to extend the emergency medical services agreement
with American Medical Response of Colorado, Inc. (AMR) for an additional one month term from
May 1, 2017 through May 31, 2017.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
This resolution is for a one month extension of an existing agreement between the City of Pueblo
and American Medical Response of Colorado, Inc (AMR) on the same terms stated in the
Agreement. The City though its Fire Department, provides emergency patient care services to our
community without charge. When a patient is in need of transport to a hospital their care is
transferred to AMR and AMR is allowed to bill for their services. In certain cases, Fire Department
members assist AMR in the transport of patients to the hospital and this service is reimbursable.
This contract addresses the rate of reimbursement that is due to the City from AMR. The contract
also addresses response time criteria
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
None.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
no
The alternative is to take action and allow the contract to expire. AMR would still maintain
their licensing to transport patients but would no longer be required to reimburse the City. This
would have a negative impact on the City budget of $8,020.00 per month.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
Attachments: Addendum No. 1
