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