The three Deployment Zones, delineated by the black line on the map above, are: North: From the northwest County line down the bayside communities to an east/west line crossing Interstate 880 (I-880) at Industrial Boulevard, intersecting Palomares Road and continuing in the north-easterly direction to the County line. South: From the line crossing I-880 at Industrial Boulevard and intersecting Palomares Road continuing southerly to Niles Canyon Road, then south-easterly along Niles Canyon Road, Paloma Way and Calaveras Road to the County line. East: Commonly called the Tri-Valley, the three cities and unincorporated areas within Alameda County east of the North and South Deployment Zones. 1 ALAMEDA COUNTY EMS Provider Compliance October 2019 DEPLOYMENT SUBZONES The three subzones, differentiated on the map above by color, are: Metro/Urban: Area shaded in orange that correlates to 2,000 or more residents per square mile Suburban: Area shaded in light yellow that correlates to 1,000 to 1,999 residents per square mile Rural/Open Space: Area shaded in gray that correlates to 0 to 999 residents per square mile RESPONSE TYPES The three response types are: Code 3: Medical calls requiring a lights and sirens response.

In addition to the compliance percentages noted in the preceding tables. Penalties are assessed for outliers, which are prolonged responses which equal or exceed 250% of the response time standard. Failure to meet the performance measures contained within their Agreement will result in the implementation of a performance improvement plan in order to bring provider into compliance. Subsequent deviations in performance, as identified in the Agreement, results in escalating penalties and prolonged underperformance could result in a material breach of the provider Agreement. 5
