RESOLUTION NO. 10� DD$
SUBJECT: Approval of Contract with City of San Diego for Fire/EMS Dispatch
Services
Summary:
The Safety Services Department receives fire/EMS dispatch services from the City of San Diego.
These services include: processing all fire, rescue, hazardous materials and medical -related
emergency calls via the 911 Secondary Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP); computer-aided
dispatch (CAD), automated resource selection and response mapping software; paging and
messaging services; mobile data computer platform services; software for interface to fire station
alerting and record management systems. These services are reviewed annually via a
correspondence that describes the proposed services, outlines the cost -share formula and
provides estimated fiscal cost for the upcoming year. There is no additional service agreement
in place. Safety Services currently maintains sufficient funds for these costs in its operating
budget and no additional funding is requested. In FY2018-19, these costs are $210,615.
The format and content of the correspondence describes dispatch services with minimal detail
and lacks basic components the Cities of Poway and San Diego would require in service
agreements of this scope. Safety Services proposes a more detailed and descriptive services
agreement be established. Representatives from both agencies have contributed to the
development of the proposed Dispatch Services Agreement.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the contract with City of San Diego for Fire/EMS
Dispatch Services and authorize the City Manager to execute all necessary agreements.
Discussion:
Since 1980, the City of San Diego has provided fire/EMS dispatch services to the Fire
Department. Over the years, these services have significantly changed due to technological
advancements, costs, industry practices and increase response demands. Today, dispatch
services include: processing all fire, rescue, hazardous materials and medical -related emergency
calls via the 911 PSAP; automated medical triage with call downgrading features; dynamic
automatic vehicle location driven dispatch of closest resource to incident type; CAD with paging
and messaging services; mobile data computer platform services including mapping, live
response routing and pre -fire planning documentation; software for interface to fire station alerting
and record management systems. Over the years, the City of San Diego has expanded similar
dispatch services and technologies to other municipal fire departments including Chula Vista,

Fire/EMS Dispatch Services Agreement

Coronado, Imperial Beach, and National City.
Each year, the Safety Services Department receives a correspondence from the City of San Diego
that describes the proposed fire/EMS dispatch services and provides estimated fiscal cost for the
upcoming year. The format and content of the existing correspondence is obsolete and in need
of language that conforms to acceptable standards for service agreements of this scope.
Representatives from Safety Services and the City of San Diego have collaborated on the creation
of a new Dispatch Services Agreement and attachments. The proposed Dispatch Services
Agreement has been developed with input from legal counsel representing both agencies.
The proposed Dispatch Services Agreement includes two attachments, a Fiscal Year 2019
Annual Operating Plan and a Data Sharing Agreement. The new five-year Dispatch Services
Agreement shall become effective retroactively to July 1, 2018 and expire on June 30, 2023. The
term of the agreement may be extended for five additional years. During each year of the service
agreement, the City of San Diego will provide the City of Poway with a revised Fiscal Year Annual
Operating Plan with cost estimates for the upcoming fiscal year that can be used for planning
purposes and budget consideration. These costs will continue to be part of Safety Services
annual operating budget preparation and approval process. The purpose of the Data Sharing
Agreement is to define the conditions for sharing dispatch information among the parties that have
entered into dispatch service agreements with the City of San Diego. The term of the Data
Sharing Agreement shall continue until the parties agree to amend or terminate the Agreement.
Environmental Review:
This action is not subject to CEQA review.
Fiscal Impact:
Sufficient funds have been secured in the FY2018-19 Safety Services Department operating
budget (Account 501050-41050).
Public Notification:
A copy of this report was sent to the City of San Diego.
Attachments:
A. Attachment 1: Fiscal Year 2019 Annual Operating Plan
B. Attachment 2: Data Sharing Agreement
C. Resolution approving a contract with the City of San Diego for Fire/EMS Dispatch
Services.

the Parties, other public safety entities, and third -party vendors.
RECITALS
WHEREAS, San Diego provides Agency with fire and emergency medical dispatch services

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual covenants and conditions
contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

obtained from CAD views or data sharing applications shall only be used in the
performance of each Agency's ascribed duties for the safety of the public, and that the

gain which is considered to be allowed to be made on behalf of our agencies. The Parties
shall not use said data to obtain any perceived advantage or be used against any other
Agency, public or private.
b) Any individual agency's data will not be otherwise used, shared, published or released
without that individual agency's written consent
