Ordinance on 2"d Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For_ <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Award a contract to ZOLL Medical Corporation to extend the factory warranty and renew the <br />maintenance contract for 10 defibrillators for a one-year period not to exceed $13,000; and <br />increase the aggregate limit by $25,000 for miscellaneous supplies in an amount not to exceed <br />$38,000 annually. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Fire Department's Emergency Medical Services (EMS) use defibrillators in the <br />performance of their duties. In March 2005, the City Council awarded a contract to ZOLL Medical <br />Corporation for the purchase of 10 manual defibrillators. Six defibrillators are in service on a daily <br />basis and four are on reserve. Should the need arise to have additional medic units in service for <br />an event, disaster or severely increased call volume, the Fire Department's EMS is prepared with <br />equipment for all medic units to become ALS (Advanced Life Support) units. The original <br />purchase of equipment in 2005 included a factory warranty and a preventative maintenance <br />contract which the vendor has agreed to extend annually to maintain the life expectancy of said <br />equipment. <br />Additionally, ZOLL Medical Corporation provides defibrillator supplies, including sensors, cables <br />and batteries. The purchase of the extended warranty and maintenance contract, when added to <br />the vendor's fiscal purchases, will exceed the $25,000 aggregate limit. In order to facilitate future <br />purchases, staff recommends an increase to the aggregate limit. <br />22F-1
