VIPR I-BPA for Advanced Life Support (ALS) and Basic Life Support (BLS) Ambulance Service for Region 13 - National

The purpose of this amendment is to add language in D.21.8.1.4 to allow for a double shift of ambulances if properly ordered by the incident.? D.21.8.1.4 -- DOUBLE SHIFT: Double Shift equipment is staffed with two operators or crews (one per shift). The DS rate will apply any calendar day the DS was under hire, including travel. There will be no compensation for a double shift unless a separate set of operators is ordered in writing for the second shift. Agency personnel at the Section Chief level may, by resource order, authorize a second operator if needed during the assignment. Double shifts, when ordered, will be paid at 165% of the daily rate.
