2-Hazardous Materials Response Team Contract with the County of Sacramento Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The County of Sacramento has contracted with the City of Sacramento Fire Department for emergency hazardous materials response since 1982. The County of Sacramento has a continual need for the City of Sacramento to provide emergency hazardous materials response in the County of Sacramento. The County of Sacramento Environmental Management Department (EMD) administers the agreement and payments for services submitted by the Fire Department.
County of Sacramento EMD bills the cities of Elk Grove, Galt, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom, the County Department of Transportation (DOT), the County of Department of Water Resources (DWR), the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD), and the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD).
The agreement covers one year and is retroactive back to July 1, 2017, due to a delay in contract negotiation. The contract can be extended for an additional Fiscal year if mutually agreed upon. This report recommends that the City Council pass a motion authorizing the City Manager, or his designee, to execute the Hazardous Response Team Mutual Aid Agreement with the County of Sacramento

Policy Considerations: This recommendation is consistent with the City Council's interest to establish and strengthen community and regional partnerships to enhance the quality of life.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: Ongoing administrative and maintenance activities, such as purchases of supplies, equipment, or materials that are not made for purposes of a public construction project. Do not constitute a "project" and are exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines, Section 15061(b)(1), 15378(b)(3). In the event of a hazardous materials incident, the Sacramento Fire Department cooperates with the County of Sacramento Hazardous Materials Division to ensure that all hazardous materials are correctly disposed of, and any site contamination is mitigated according to applicable California Health Safety Code provisions.
Sustainability: Not Applicable.
Commission/Committee Action: Not Applicable.
Rationale for Recommendation: Under City Agreement No. 2009-399 and 2014-1016, the City of Sacramento, Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Team, provides hazardous materials response services to the County of Sacramento. In addition, services are provided to the fire protection agencies of Sacramento County consisting of the: cities of Elk Grove, Galt, Citrus Heights, Rancho Cordova, and Folsom, the County Department of Transportation (DOT), the County of Department of Water Resources (DWR), the Sacramento Area Sewer District (SASD), and the Sacramento Regional County Sanitation District (SRCSD). It is more economical and practical for the County of Sacramento to utilize the services of the City's Hazardous Materials Response Teams rather than to develop and maintain duplicate response teams. Under the terms of the proposed agreement, a City of Sacramento Fire Department Hazardous Materials Response Team is dispatched to the County of Sacramento to respond to emergencies classified as Haz Mat Level I-III as defined in the Sacramento Fire Department Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Plan.
Financial Considerations: The County of Sacramento will pay the City of Sacramento the contract amount up to $430,000 for FY 2023/24.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): No goods and/or services are being purchased as a result of this recommendation.
