In March 2005, the City Council awarded a contract to ZOLL Medical <br />Corporation for the purchase of 10 manual defibrillators. The Orange County EMS regulates <br />standards for EKG testing and manages the replacement schedule; a five year life span on <br />defibrillators. With the replacements, the paramedics can continue to perform critical life saving <br />procedures in the field and while transporting patients to the hospital. The ZOLL E Series ACLS <br />12 -lead defibrillator has proven to be responsive to the Fire Department needs and the Fire <br />Authority standards and protocols. <br />Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS -2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from <br />any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The County of Los Angeles contract with <br />ZOLL Medical Corporation for 12 -lead defibrillators was awarded as a result of open, competitive <br />bidding, and meets the City's requirements. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available in the Metropolitan Medical Response System 2009 Grant account (no. <br />14615364- 63001). <br />22B -1 <br />
