AGREEMENT NO. 30251
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN ADA COUNTY,
THE ADA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE, THE CITIES OF BOISE, EAGLE,
GARDEN CITY, KUNA, MERIDIAN, STAR, EAGLE FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT,
AND VALLEY REGIONAL TRANSIT FOR
EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND TRANSPORTATION SUPPORT
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into between Ada County, a duly
formed and existing county pursuant to the laws and Constitution of the State of Idaho, the Ada
County Sheriff's Office ("ACSO"), cities of Boise, Eagle, Garden City, Kuna, Meridian, and Star,
municipal corporations organized and existing under the laws of the State of Idaho, Eagle Fire
Protection District (also conducting its operations under the name and style of "Eagle Fire &
Rescue") which provides fire, rescue, and emergency medical services to the City of Eagle, Ada,
Boise, and Gem Counties, and Valley Regional Transit, a regional public transportation authority
authorized under Chapter 21, Title 40, Idaho Code ("VRT") (each, a "Party"; collectively,
"Parties").
WHEREAS, in the event of an emergency situation within Ada County, to include all
incorporated cities and unincorporated Ada County, to include all incorporated cities, fire districts,
and unincorporated areas of Ada County, the aforementioned entities would like a means to access
VRT resources in support of emergency operations, including the efficient and safe evacuation of
members of the public or transport of critical response resources; and
WHEREAS, VRT is the regional public transportation authority created to serve Ada and
Canyon Counties, pursuant to Chapter 21, Title 40, Idaho Code, and has access to various forms
of public transportation including buses and vans; and
WHEREAS, VRT is willing to provide transportation as part of the emergency operations
plans maintained at the County and City level;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions and the recitals
set forth herein, the Parties mutually agree as follows:
Purpose and Scope.
1. This MOU is being entered into in order to facilitate transportation or sheltering of
members of the public, supplies and equipment, first responders, and/or other
technical or essential personnel in case of emergency or disaster situations which
may occur in or around Ada County. The type and number of buses or vans
requested will depend on the size and scope of the emergency or disaster.
2. In the event of an emergency or disaster, VRT and the authority having jurisdiction
(which can include Ada County, ACSO, and/or each of the aforementioned
incorporated cities) will work together to identify, arrange, mobilize, and coordinate
available buses and vans in support of emergency operations, including but not
limited to emergency evacuations. VRT shall take direction solely from the
incident commander in charge. VRT agrees that once mobilized, buses and vans
used to transport members of the public and emergency response personnel will
remain committed to the operation, which may include delivery of persons to

alternate locations or facilities where mass care services can be offered or back to
their point of origin, situation dependent, until formally released by the incident
commander in charge. VRT buses and vans may also be used as temporary shelter
for displaced persons or to transport responder personnel across incident response
facilities and similarly remain committed to the operation until formally released
by the incident commander in charge. Temporary shelter refers to a place providing
temporary protection from threats and hazards for individuals displaced by an
emergency or disaster; the term "shelter" does not involve the expectation of life -
sustaining services. Use of the term "temporary" means that VRT buses will
provide shelter for a limited duration and those citizens being sheltered will either
be moved to a different location to receive assistance or released as soon as
conditions allow, but not to exceed ten (10) days.
II. Duties of VRT.
1. In the event VRT is dispatched to respond to an emergency or disaster, VRT shall
be responsible for the following:
a. Upon notice from an incident commander in charge that Ada County, ACSO, or
any incorporated city or fire district party to this MOU has deemed it necessary that
VRT assets are needed in support of an emergency or disaster, VRT shall endeavor
to route buses to the determined location, such as an incident scene as feasible or
an evacuation assembly area, in accordance with this Section II. If available, at least
one bus being re-routed to support incident response shall be wheelchair accessible
with proper safety features. VRT commits the following resources:
i. During the business hours of 0500 and 1900, VRT will have up to
two buses re-routed to a designated location, and endeavor to arrive
as soon as possible, within 15-60 minutes. This will accommodate
approximately 80 persons (more if the persons being transported
stand).
ii. VRT can provide additional buses, diverted to the designated
location, as they become available from the current service they are
providing, as needed. The first bus shall be available for use within
30-60 minutes of the request.
iii. During non -business hours, it could take up to 60 minutes for buses
to arrive at the incident site.
iv. The availability and timeliness for each of the aforementioned
resources is contingent upon (A) the activation of other
memorandums of understanding, such as the agreement between
VRT and ACSO for evacuation of the Ada County Jail (ACJ); (B)
road and traffic conditions; and (C) availability of VRT drivers.
b. VRT shall disembark all public passengers at their desired route locations
as soon as practicable and shall ensure that the only person on any bus, when
routed to the location specified by the incident commander or authorized
individual in the incident management structure, is the designated driver.

Docusign Envelope ID: ACE77441-9EF8-4A9F-9D74-3FEC21147058
c. VRT shall instruct all drivers responding to the incident that, once the bus
arrives at the specified location to facilitate an evacuation, law enforcement,
fire services, and emergency medical officials representing one of the
jurisdictions included in this MOU, are in charge of the bus and all persons
placed thereon. Drivers shall take no action except as instructed by law
enforcement, fire service, or emergency medical officials and shall in no
way interfere with any first responder's ability to perform his/her designated
duties relative to the care and protection of persons in transport or under
shelter.
d. VRT personnel will participate in an annual seminar developed by Ada
County Emergency Management and Community Resilience, local
responder agencies, and VRT, which reviews this MOU and directs
personnel to other supporting training resources in the Incident Command
System.
e. VRT shall instruct all drivers responding to the incident that, if buses are
being used to transport responder personnel or assets, that an authorized first
responder (law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical system or
other supporting agency designated by incident command) may be placed
in charge of the bus and all responders and assets placed thereon. Every
effort will be made to ensure VRT personnel are not transporting buses into
an area where threat or hazard conditions are unsafe; in those situations
where the area of response is deemed unsafe by incident command or a VRT
administrator, first responder personnel will operate the VRT buses.
f. If buses are being used as temporary shelter, responder personnel will
supervise the delivery of the vehicle to the incident scene where it will be
placed under the supervision of an authorized emergency responder (law
enforcement, fire services, emergency medical system or other agency
designated by incident command). On -scene first responder personnel, and
not VRT, are responsible to coordinate the sheltering and mass care services
provided to the bus occupants. Conditions permitting, VRT will retrieve its
drivers from the incident scene, and responder personnel will transport the
buses back to VRT once formally released by the incident commander in
charge.
g•
VRT shall have their drivers take evacuees in buses to the location
designated by the incident commander in charge and shall otherwise follow
all directions given by authorized emergency services personnel working
under the direction of incident command staff. Per the Incident Command
System (ICS), it is the responsibility of incident command and responding
agencies to ensure chain of command and unity of command. Personnel
from VRT will receive direction from a single supervisor in the response
structure who ensures all actions reflect incident commander's intent. VRT
does not assume liability for decisions made by incident command or
directions given to VRT personnel by other personnel working under the
direction of incident command staff.

h. If VRT does not have drivers available, VRT shall allow first responders
from the jurisdictions specified in this response to drive VRT buses if said
first responders meet the following requirements:
i. Possess, at a minimum, a valid Class B commercial driver's license
with an air brake endorsement and passenger endorsement.
ii. Possess a valid Idaho Department of Transportation medical
certificate.
iii. Attended a refresher training, provided at least annually by VRT, to
ensure qualified first responders are sufficiently experienced in and
familiar with the operation of VRT buses.
III. Duties of Requesting Jurisdiction.
1. The incident commander can initiate the service set forth in Section II above on
behalf of any of the requesting jurisdictions referenced in this MOU by calling VRT
and getting approval from a VRT administrator or designee.
2. In the event that there is an emergency or disaster requiring the use of VRT assets
and VRT is requested to respond to help facilitate the evacuation or shelter of the
public, the requesting jurisdiction shall:
a. Notify the individuals listed in Section IV item 7 of the need for
transportation. The requesting jurisdictions will provide clear and specific
instructions from incident command regarding where buses are to go for
pickup and any other pertinent instructions on routes if needed. The
requesting jurisdiction shall provide VRT with an approximate number of
persons, response personnel, equipment, and or assets to be moved, the
intended drop-off location, and the estimated time such buses will be
engaged. When buses are to be used as shelters for members of the public,
the requesting jurisdiction will specify where buses are to go and the
estimated time such buses will be engaged.
b. Be responsible for the safety of the driver and the reasonable protection of
the bus and equipment from damage caused by usage. Responder personnel
from the requesting jurisdiction are in charge of persons, response
personnel, and or assets and shall exercise authority within the scope of their
duties.
3. When practical and feasible, Ada County and any of the requesting jurisdictions
referenced in this MOU shall periodically include VRT personnel in safety
meetings and mock drills, as mutually agreed to by the Parties.
4. Ada County Emergency Management and Community Resilience and local
responder agencies, in coordination with VRT, will develop and deliver a yearly
seminar for VRT employees which reviews this MOU and directs personnel to other
supporting training resources in the Incident Command System.

Law. Each Party recognizes that regardless of whether or not insurance is procured,
or self-insurance is adequately funded, each Party shall meet any third -party
liability obligations which may arise out of performance of this MOU. These
principles shall apply to and govern the relationship between the Parties pursuant
to this MOU, notwithstanding the language of any policy of insurance procured by
any Party during the course of performance of the MOU. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the liability of each Party is at all times herein
