2 Council Agenda Memo From: Fire Chief Cory Schmidt Meeting: October 25, 2016 Subject: Presenter(s): Vital Sign Monitor and Cardiac Defibrillator Maintenance Contract Fire Division Chief Russ Blackburn Background In the City Capital Budget the City Council approved the purchase of six new LifePak 15 vital sign monitor and cardiac defibrillators. State regulations of Emergency Medical Services mandate that equipment on ambulances be maintained according to manufacturer s recommendations. Physio Control s recommendation is their yearly inspection and maintenance program. Discussion With the purchase and implementation of the LifePak 15s, the LifePak 12s have been removed from service. This resolution is to end the Physio Control maintenance contract on the LifePak 12s and create a maintenance contract on the LifePak 15s for four years that will start after the one year warranty on the new monitors. The refund from the termination of the LifePak 12 maintenance contract will be applied to the LifePak 15 maintenance contract. By signing the maintenance contract within 60 days of purchase we receive a 15% discount on supplies purchased through Physio Control. The contract will cost $30, for four years of on-site preventative maintenance. Alternatives It appears that the Council has the following alternatives concerning the issue at hand. The Council may: 1. Move to approve 2. Refer the issue to a Committee 3. Postpone the issue to future date 4. Take no action on the issue Grand Island Council Session - 10/25/2016 Page 2 / 6
