ambulance is equipped with ePCR capable recording equipment to maintain <br /> patient care reports on Everett Fire patient transports. The Contractor is <br /> responsible to assure all Snohomish County ePCR requirements are met <br /> regarding standards of acceptable reporting and time limits for finalizing and <br /> submitting electronic reports. The Contractor will also assure that information can <br /> be electronically transmitted from the contractor's ePCR software to and from <br /> Everett Fire's ePCR software. <br /> 3.0 Response Time Performance <br /> 3.1 Requirements <br /> In order to reliably track and report on response time performance, the Contractor is <br /> required to transmit response data to SNOPAC via direct electronic transfer facilitated <br /> by Mobile Data Terminal (MDT) or over the radio. Response data will include at a <br /> minimum: Time of dispatch; time in route; time of arrival at scene; time of arrival at <br /> patient; time of initiation of transport; time of transport complete and time in service. <br /> The Contractor shall meet or exceed the response time standards set forth in <br /> subsection 3.2 and 3.3. Response times shall be measured in minutes and seconds, <br /> and shall be timed-stamped by the SNOPAC computer aided dispatch (CAD) system. <br /> Liquidated damages for exceeding the response time standard will be assessed as <br /> provided in Section 11 (Finance). <br /> Recognizing that operations are impacted by weather and other occurrences of nature <br /> as well as the state of regional and national disasters, EFD has established two <br /> operational levels with different standards for response time and/or liquidated damages. <br /> Regardless of operational level, Code will mean responses made with both lights and <br /> sirens in operation while Non-Code means without either lights or siren in operation. <br /> 3.2 Normal Operations <br /> Normal Operations is defined as that time during which there is no extraordinary <br /> weather or heightened circumstances due to manmade threat or natural disasters either <br /> locally or nationally. Normal Operation needs no special declaration. It is the baseline <br /> which may be changed by EFD to Modified Operations. <br /> 3.2.1"Code" Response Performance Standard. The Contractor shall respond to <br /> ninety percent (90%) of all "Code" requests which have not been exempted from <br /> such time performance standards within 9:59 minutes. Liquidated damages for <br /> late arrival on scene will be assessed per minute for up to five minutes after <br /> which liquidated damages for a non-response will be assessed. <br /> 3.2.2 "Non-Code" Response Performance Standard — The Contractor shall <br /> respond to ninety percent (90%) of all "Non-Code" requests which have not been <br /> exempted from such time performance standards within 14:59 minutes. <br /> Liquidated damages for late arrival on scene will be assessed per minute for up <br /> 4 of 34 <br />
