San Diego City Council documents suggest the city’s ambulance provider, Falck, is facing a $457,500 penalty for not meeting the terms of its contract.
“Falck continues to work towards meeting the primary obligations of the contract to include staffing hours, response times, unit hour utilization ratios and filling leadership/administrative positions,” according to a May 5 report from the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department .
Falck is set for another contract update Wednesday at the San Diego city council’s Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods Committee meeting. The penalty comes because the company did not meet requirements for response times and the firm did not send out paramedic ambulances on certain calls.
