RECOMMENDED ACTION
Award a contract to ZOLL Medical Corporation for the purchase of 10 manual defibrillators in the
amount of $252,000.
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. The Orange County EMS regulates
standards for EKG testing and manages the replacement schedule; a five year life span on
defibrillators. With the replacements, the paramedics can continue to perform critical life saving
procedures in the field and while transporting patients to the hospital. The ZOLL E Series ACLS
12-lead defibrillator has proven to be responsive to the Fire Department needs and the Fire
Authority standards and protocols.
Santa Ana City Ordinance No. NS-2312 authorizes the City to purchase against contracts from
any public agency utilizing a competitive bid process. The County of Los Angeles contract with
ZOLL Medical Corporation for 12-lead defibrillators was awarded as a result of open, competitive
bidding, and meets the City's requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funds are available in the Metropolitan Medical Response System 2009 Grant account (no.
14615364-63001).
