COITAGE GROVE EMS STAND-BY AGREEMENT AT WARRIOR DASH
Cottage Grove EMS was approached to assist in stand-by of the Warrior Dash being held in Denmark
Township on June 29 Denmarl<Township is requiring Event Medical Staffing/Redfrog to pay for two
ALS stand-by units to be onsite for hospital transports only. Hastings Fire has extended this opportunity
to Cottage Grove EMS. Cottage Grove EMS will continue to bill for any patient transports and will follow
the appropriate fee schedule as dictated.
BACKGROUND
I am seeking permission to apply the contract language listed below and submit this to Event Medical
Staffing Solutions/Redfrog. I am also seel<ing permission to alter our fee schedule to pay for two EMT's
and one paramedic for the stand-by crew. Our ALS stand-by rate says EMT/Paramedic. Hastings Fire is
sending two EMT's and one paramedic, I would lil<e to stay consistent with their staffing standards and
also the third attendant is to be used in the case of combative patients, which happened numerous
times last year at the Warrior Dash event. Last year Cottage Grove EMS responded to and transported
numerous patients as a mutual request by Hastings Fire department.
"This is an agreement between the City of Cottage Grove and Event Medical Staffing
Solutions/Redfrog Events Warrior Dash to provide one stand-byALS ambulance and crew at the
Warrior Dash event, which will be held at 6600 PellerAvenue South, Hasting Minnesota on
06/29/2013 (SaturdayJ. The City of Cottage Grove will provide one stand-byALS ambulance on
06/29/2013 from 0800-1800 and one stand-byALS ambulance on 06/30/2013 if requested by
Event Medical Staffing Solutions/Redfrog Events. The fee for this ambulance standby is $160.00
per hour, with a total of 10 hours at the event. The total approximate fees for this event will be
$1,600. If additional hours and stand is requested for 6/30/2013, Deputy Fire Chief Halvorsen
has to be notified within 10 days for approval and the contract will reflect the additional stand-
by hours. Event Medical Staffing Solutions/Redfrog Events will provide all on-site first aid,
treatment and transportation/evacuation of their participants. City of Cottage Grove Emergency
Medical Services, doing business under the City of Cottage Grove will provide on-site ambulance
stand-by in the roll of ALS/BLS medical transport to an off-site hospital. Cottage Grove

www.cottage-grove.or� • 651-458-2850 • Fax 651-458-2820 • Equal Opportunity EmploYer
Emergency Medical Services will follow on-site command direction from Hasting Fire
Department. It is also understood that due to high call volume within our primary response area
the stand-by ambulance can be pulled if needed from the event to respond to other emergency
calls within our community. In this event, adjustments will be made to the fee structure to
reflect actual stand-by hours worked".
RECOMMENDATION
I am recommending that we approve the contract language listed above and provide ALS stand-
by services to Denmark Township for the Warrior Dash. I also request that we follow our ALS
stand-by fee schedule with the alteration of adding an additional EMT attendant as needed.
The new language should be changed from EMT/Paramedic to EMT/EMT/Paramedic. Cottage
Grove EMS will fall into the medical command and control from Hastings Fire Department.
Additional hours or days will be requested and approved by me within 10 days of the requested
date.
