This trail will be constructed on the west side of Memorial Dr and will start at Pompano Drive and end at the Sebring Parkway. The City is also utilizing Memorial Dr. west right-of-way and has an 8" water main that conflicts with this County project. CivilSurv has provided the city with a "Opinion of Probable Construction Cost" in the Staff has received an Interlocal Agreement from the County for this project. The County's obligations under this agreement include making the relocation of the City's water main part of this project which includes the competitive bidding process. This is very similar to what was done for the Sebring Parkway Phase III Project. Additionally, the County will contribute the sum of $121,342.12 toward the cost of relocating the City water main. The City will be responsible for the remainder of the cost associated with the relocation. Council needs to be aware that the construction cost estimate of $242,684.24 is several years old. The actual costs for the relocation of this water main, based on today's construction cost, most likely will exceed the CivilSurv estimate. Therefore, the City's portion of the relocation project may be greater than previously estimated and the County's contribution may be less than the The bottom-line is, the City's water main is within the County's Road Right of Way (ROW). As such, the City is obligated to move the infrastructure that is in conflict of a County project within the ROW. This is an inherent risk of using ROWS. However, obtaining easements from property owners can be time consuming and difficult to obtain. This makes using County and State ROWS worth the risk of a  amount of $242,684.24 to address the water main conflicts.  expected 50/50 split.  potential infrastructure relocation costs.

This trail will be constructed on the west side of Memorial Dr and will start at Pompano Drive and end at the Sebring Parkway. It is staff's understanding that the County is receiving Federal Grant Funding administered by the Florida Department of Transportation to fund this project. The City is also utilizing Memorial Dr. west right-of- The County outsourced the engineering for this project to CivilSurv. Since CivilSurv was already involved in this project, City staff thought it was prudent to ask them to identify the areas of conflict for the City's water main. The City has a Continual Service Contract with CivilSurv for engineering services. Work Release No. 6 provides the details of the work CivilSurv will do to identify the areas of conflict. This Work Release is in the amount of $28,500.00 and does not include other services i.e., subsurface engineering or construction phase services. CivilSurv has provided the city with a "Opinion of Probable Construction Cost" in the amount of $242,684.24 to address the water main conflicts. Staff has been in discussions with County staff to determine the best path forward to minimize the financial burden this project presents to the City. The County has indicated they would be willing to enter into an Interlocal Agreement for a 50/50 split for the construction cost of moving the water main. The proposed Interlocal Agreement will also include the City's relocation construction requirements as a separate item in their bid document. This agreement will be modeled after the Sebring Parkway Phase III agreement. This will require the City to front the costs of moving the water main with the County reimbursement for 50% of the construction cost. This agreement will not include any reimbursement for related engineering, permitting, bid phase services and construction phase services. The adopted 2022/2023 budget does not include funding for this project. However, there are sufficient funds in the Department's Engineering Account to fund conflict support as proposed by CivilSurv.  way and has an 8" water main that conflicts with this County project.

Please review the attached  plan fori implementation.  REQUESTED MOTION: Approve the implementation of this program and grant permission for personnel to start the paramedic program in. January of2025.  COUNCIL ACTION: APPROVED DENIED TABLED1 TO:  Moved by:  Seconded by:  Carlisle Havery. Mendel Stewart Bishop  OTHER    SEBRING FIRE DEPARTMENT  ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORTPROGRAM  EBRINO  DEPARIT  2024  CHIEF ROBERT BORDER LTCARLOS RIVERA    BACKGROUND  The Sebring Fire Department (SFD) operates within a two-tiered response system to address medical-related calls for service. Currently, the basis of this tier system begins with SFD responding to a call for service meeting critical criteria. At that time, al Highlands County Fire Rescue (HCFR) rescue unit is dispatched as well. SFD arrives on scene and establishes initial patient care within their allotted scope of practice, which is Basic Life Support (BLS). A transfer of care occurs with a HCFR rescue unit utilizing Advanced Life Support (ALS). HCFR: assumes patient care responsibilities and transports the patient to the  most appropriate healthcare facility.  Duringcalendaryear: 2023, SFDI responded to 2,153 calls.. Just over 76%ofthe calls were Emergency Medical Service (EMS) related (1,645) and 24% of the calls were FIRE related (508). Implementation: of this programv would see ani increase in EMSI related calls and bring thet total call volume to 3,954 ofv which 3,446 are EMS related calls. This increased call volume equates to 5 additional calls of service per day. Three  additional calls out of Station 14a and two additional calls out of Station 15.  Over the years, the increasing infrastructure growth in the community has increased population levels, thus increasing call volume and the demand of HCFR rescue units. HCFR is taking the appropriate steps to try and overcome this but with the implementation of this program we can help HCFRi in helping our community! by PARANPreAAIN-e care. We are thankfuli for all their continued support  through this process.    PROPOSED ALS PLAN  implementation ofan ALS program will begin with city council approval to take the next appropriate steps of the program. Currently, SFD has one certifiedcredentialed paramedic. We also have one additional employee that just graduated from the paramedic program and another employee that started the paramedic program on August 14th. The overall long-term goal of the program is to be able to provide ALS service out of both Station 14 and Station 15 (this will take time due to schooling requirement of paramedic program). The plani is to start this program with a minimal number of paramedics and continue to send employees through paramedic school. This will allow the justification of purchasing ALS equipment and credentialing current staff to Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) level as determined by the medical director and HCFR. This will allow current and future licensed paramedics within the department that are credentialed to perform as paramedics on calls and be able to further assist HCFR with patient care. The EMTs once credentialed will also be allowed to furtherassist HCFR with patient care  within medical protocol.  STEP BY STEP APPROACH Council approval vacancy occurs Director updates Order ALSe equipment  Begin sending staff to paramedic school (max staff will allow) or hire certified paramedics IF Initiate Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (COPCN) & licensing process & Medical  Begin credentialing process w/ HCFR for all employees Begin process of on-boarding for second unit Completion of three additional members of school Purchase ALS equipment for second vehicle  Completion of one unit ALS response with 6 Paramedics + 1 Paramedic Coordinator  Total paramedic count in Department 9 (3 per shift) + 1 Paramedic Coordinator Completion of ALS program implementation for city-wide coverage    PARAMEDIC EDUCATION  SFD members that plan on attending school will be looking at completing 1,200 contact hours of school (11 months) or the equivalent of 43 college credit hours which is 17 college credit! hours short of a two-year degree. During this program students will be required to complete a minimum of 468 hours onan ambulancet functioning int the capacityo ofaparamedic under the direct supervision ofap program preceptor. The paramedic program is veryintensive on the student because oft the large amount of contact hours. For example, Fire School requires 492 contact hours and EMT: school requires 300 contact hours.  Paramedics receive advanced trainingi in the administration ofi intravenous fluids, the use of manual defibrillators to give life-saving shocks to a stopped heart, the application of advanced airway techniques and equipment to assist patients experiencingr respiatonyemergences. Once completed with school, the student will gain multiple certifications such as: Florida State Paramedic, Advanced Cardiac Life Support Provider (ACLS), Pediatric Advanced Life Support Provider (PALS), and Prehospital Trauma Life Support  Provider (PHTLS).

Simply, the fire assessment methodology dictates that any emergency medical service above the first response level is not considered to be a special benefit and therefore those services cannot be funded  through the fire assessment.  It is estimated by the Anser Group that based off our staffing and deployment of resources during emergencies that the implementation oft this program will preclude the city from being ablet to fund thet fire department budget by completely utilizing the fire assessment. The estimate given if we have 6 FF/EMTS and 2FF/PM per shift is that we will be able to fund 70-75% of our budget through the fire assessment. Currently our assessment rate is scheduled to update to 29.3% for our next fiscal year with a maximum allowable without re-notice to 35.5%. This can potentially have an impact for the future of the City of Sebring by never allowing the fire department to be 100% funded by the fire assessment. The maximum  draw out will be only approximately70.759.  Ifthe ALS program isi implemented, itisrecommended by Anser Group to run the program for ayear tog gather the necessarydatai for ar news studyt to be conducted. This will create the potential of areallocation of percentile to the fixed properties and will give us a gyeaterunderstanding of the actual percent that the  budget can be covered by thet fire assessment.

This program will utilize current members of the department and provide ar means of paramedic education for those members that are interested. Once members are licensed by the state, they will be sent through the department credentialing process (provided by HCFR), then approved by the department's medical director to physically practice as a licensed paramedic. The implementation of an ALS program for Sebring Fire Department enhances its emergency medical services by equipping personnel with advanced medical training and equipment. This will enable firefighters to provide more comprehensive. pre-hospital care, including advanced airway management, intravenous therapy, cardiac monitoring, and the administration of medications. The primary benefits include improved patient outcomes, potentially faster response times for critical medical  situations, and increases overall communitysafety.        BRINO  DEPART  ALS Strategic Plan  Vision  Strive to become one of the leaders in emergency medical services, delivering rapid, compassionate, and highly skilled advanced life support that ensures the safety, health and well-being of our community through.continuous innovation, training and community engagement. Collaborativelywith Highlands County Fire Rescue, we strive to set the standard for excellence in pre-hospital care and  emergency response.  Mission  Our mission is to deliver superior advanced life support services with urgency, professionalism and empathy. We are dedicated to saving lives and improving health outcomes by responding swiftly to emergencies, employing cutting-edge medical techniques and maintaining rigorous training standards. Throughcolaboration with Highlands County Fire Rescue, we aim tol buildas safer, healthier community for  all.  Goal  Toenhance community health and safety by providing prompt, high-qualilyadvanced life supportservices. Our aim is to reduce response times, improve patient outcomes and ensure seamless cooperative effort with HCFR. We strive to maintain the highest standards of medical care through continuous training, innovative practices and strong partnerships with local healthcare providers. By achieving these objectives, we seek to continue to expand our trust and reliability within the community we serve.    Enhanced Training and Paramedic Certification  Paramedic Certification Program  We will continue to utilize the local college to provide paramedic education to our current members that will be utilized in the ALS role. The first stage of the program's end goal will consist of six certifederedentaladpataadcopoadeAL5semiceoutofSiation 14 plus one Paramedic Coordinator tor manage the program and operate as a seventh. paramedic. Once this goal is met completely, we will continue to send staff to school until we gain an additional three members that become certified/credentialed paramedics to provide ALS service out of Station 15. The overall goal of the program will bet to maintain at total of nine paramedics (three per shift) to provide ALS service to the entire city! limits plus one Paramedic Coordinator to manage the program and operate as an additional paramedic. Staffing three paramedics per shift allows there to be a paramedic at both stations with one paramedic being assigned to a second-out unit downtown. This will allow that paramedic tot fill-in on the first out truck from either station if a paramedic is off that day. Due tot the time requirement of paramedic school and current department staffing, we look to have this accomplished within three years. With the continued support of city council and city administration, we may be able to accomplish our overall goal sooner but that will depend on timing, education and funding opportunities. The first open opportunity for school will be  January 2025. Continuing Education  Further developing our relationship with HCFR to build on our current education programs to ensure all staff stays up to date on the latest medical practices and technologies. Be able to utilize when the opportunity presents itself to utilize HCFR in-house continuing education opportunities such as but not limited to Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS)  re-certification. Cross-Training requirements.  Begin implementation and adoption of HCFR medical protocol. AlL members that are certified as an EMT or paramedic will complete the HCFR credentialing process as required by COPCN and Medical Director    Medical Equipment  Comprehensive Inventory  With the assistance of HCFR administration, we have an analysis of supplies that will be needed and a calculation of what the re-suppling of thati inventory will look like, asi is included ini the financial analysis of this document. The cost of the supplyi inventory will not increase when Station 15 becomes active due to  the supply cost analysis using data from Station 14 and Station 15.  Acquisition and Deployment  We will invest in high-quality, reliable medical equipment and ensure that all ALS licensed units will be operatingy whilefulyequipped: daccordingtos expectations. All equipment twill bei merchangeablewICFR tor maintain a streamlined process of patient care and transfer of the patient. The initial phase will include all equipment for the ALS unit for Station 14. Later, when ALS service for Station 15 is implemented, the equipment will bei included at that time fori that unit to be placed in service to meet the same requirements  as the first unit. Maintenance  We will utilize a service agreement through the company that we purchase our cardiac monitors. We will establishar maintenance schedule to ensure all equipment is in optimal working condition and will replace damaged orf faulty equipment for the length of the program. This service agreement will follow the program and its application for the on-boarding process of Station 14 and then will follow the same for Station 15.    Operational Excellence  DispatchSystem  We will update our dispatch protocol to include both Station 14 and Station 151 to respond to all medicals within their respective jurisdictions as required by COPCN agreement regardless of ALS deployment capabilities. Failure to abide by these requirements set forth can lead tot termination of our COPCN, which  isr required by Florida State Statute to maintain an ALS License.  Standardized Protocols  Adopt andi implementHCfRmedical protocols fort the standardized operating procedures forvarious types of medical emergencies, ensuring consistency and efficiency in emergency response for all medical  related emergencies regardless of ALS versus BLS classification.  Certification Holder Credentialing  Asrequired byC CoPcNreguirements, we wllcolaboratvelywork togetherwith HCFRtoimplementar plan, that we will send staff members through a credentialing process that will require staff to ride and participate on an HCFR rescue unit for the determined amount of time to learn protocols, increase vehicle/equipment familiarization and demonstrate competency in skills that will be required of them  based on their level of certification. Resourcel Management  We will optimize our staff resources as they become state certified to ensure ALS units are available and always maintain a ready state to respond as an ALS unit as staffing certifications develop. Initially, staffing as it becomes available with state certifications will be driven towards providing a unit from Station 14. Further, we will continue to build on this once the full implementation of Station 14 is completed. We will then take the next steps to add state certified staffing to follow suit with the implementation of Station 15. Ift the city expands our department to a third station, we will take direction at that time from city council and city administration to ensure that we follow suit with the implementation of a third station providing  ALS, sO that the community continues to receive ALS care from our department.  Interagency Collaboration  We look forward to building a stronger relationship with Highlands County Fire Rescue and their partners top provide al higher-level of emergency medical care to ensure coordinated responses for the greater good of our community. SFD will also participate ino qualityassurance meetings as required by the COPCNt to be involved in maintaining high-periormance levels for all certifications levels and accept feedback for  enhancing our service delivery to our community.
