See attached. Exhibit E Contractor Name: City of Ukiah Contract Number: 1CA03950 Page No. 19 CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY AND FIRE PROTECTION MENDOCINO UNIT Service Description for Fire and Emergency Medical Dispatch Services To City of Ukiah Within current California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) policy and in addition to the elements of the FIRE SERVICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM — Memorandum of Understanding — Standard Operational Procedures for the Mendocino County Operational Area (Office of Fire Warden, Mendocino County Fire Chiefs Association, November 1994); the following serves to describe the scope of work to be performed by the CAL FIRE Howard Forest Emergency Command Center (ECC) for the City of Ukiah: Service Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) dispatch services will be provided to those Local Fire Service Agencies and Ambulance providers of Mendocino County who are signatory to the Operational Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) of November 1994. Coastal Valley Emergency Medical Services (CVEMS) has designated the Howard Forest ECC (HFECC) as Mendocino County's Air Ambulance Coordination Center. The HFECC is the secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) for Mendocino County. CAL FIRE is the Cal OES Fire and Rescue Coordination Center for Mendocino County. Dispatch services will be provided 24 -hours per day, seven days per week, throughout the contract period. CAL FIRE will provide Emergency Medical Dispatching (EMD) for medical dispatch and call priority determination (when appropriate). EMD provides for a caller to respond to a standardized question format to help determine the type of resources required to appropriately assist the caller. EMD also directs the dispatcher to provide pre -arrival instructions to assist with patient care, once the emergency response has been dispatched. Generally, all emergency calls will be dispatched within sixty (60) seconds of the call. This time frame is a general target; it is recognized that verification of location information and directions to the location of the emergency as well as completion of the EMD process will sometimes require more than the 60 -second time frame. Priority is place on clear and reliable dispatch information for responding resources. Contractor Name: City of Ukiah Contract Number: 1 CA03950 Page No. 20 All emergency, non -emergency and administrative calls for service are logging into the Altaris Computer Added Dispatch program (CAD). All key entries are automatically time stamped by the CAD program for accuracy. All entries that require a field response of any type are logged as incidents and administrative functions (such as Fire Department announcements) are logged in as events and do not generate an incident number. All CAD data is available on a web -based program that is accessible by a password protected program available to any agency or cooperator who does business with the dispatch center. The program used to retrieve this data is Crystal Reports, a CAL FIRE standard program for CAD data retrieval. All users of this service will be restricted to access records that originate in the Mendocino Unit. This program has pre -built reports that the user can access. Any news reports must be requested through the ECC Manager with specifics of the information requested. No call data or other CAD information will be released to the public. Staffing CAL FIRE provides a dispatch center 24 hours per day, seven days a week. Staffing levels for the ECC are a minimum of 1 fully qualified Fire Captain, and 2 fully qualified Communications Operator. During Fire Season, when CAL FIRE fixed wing aircraft are on Contract (normally, 6/15 through 10/15), the ECC is staffed with a minimum of 2 qualified Fire Captains and 2 qualified Communications Operators during the day. The ECC Manager is a CAL FIRE Battalion Chief. This person is responsible for all ECC operations, personnel, and coordination with the Mendocino County Dispatch contract. He/She is the primary contact for the Coastal Valley EMS coordinator for any changes in EMS dispatch policy, procedures, or information requests. Facilities The CAL FIRE ECC infrastructure consists of two buildings that house the ECC and Expanded Dispatch along with all of the radio and telephone equipment. These two buildings together allow handling of all the normal daily activities and, if necessary, open an expanded dispatch to handle larger incidents. A 125 KW generator is also on-site to automatically provide emergency power if necessary. The ECC is capable of providing all dispatching services on multiple frequencies. Fire and EMS are being dispatched at the same time using the Mendocino County Dispatching frequencies. CAL FIRE has Altaris Computer Aided Dispatch program (CAD) in a laptop computer and CAL FIRE can use another location's phone service along with a Mobile radio for a short duration. If this is not possible CAL FIRE has the ability to use a mobile location with Cellular phone service. CAL FIRE has access to a Mobile Communications Center for a backup Emergency Command Center, if needed for a long duration event, which is usually available within four hours.
