Subject:
Title
Consider a resolution approving the purchase of four (4) LIFEPAK 35 Heart Monitors, from Stryker, through Sourcewell Cooperative, for the Keller Fire Department.
Action Requested:
Consider a resolution approving the purchase of four (4) LIFEPAK 35 heart monitors for the Keller Fire Department from Stryker, of Portage, Michigan, through Sourcewell Cooperative, in the total amount of $254,972.16.
Background:
The current eight LifePak 15 monitors are 10 to 14 years old, and need upgraded. All monitors are beginning to show their age and are version 1 and 2 which Styker has informed us that within the next two years these versions will no longer be serviceable and currently they are very limited on parts for them. The new LifePak 35 monitors will improve patient care and provide the Fire Department with an up-to-date monitor with a 10 plus year service life.
Financial Impact:
The cost for the heart monitors is $254,972.16 and is within budget, as approved in the Fiscal Year 2023-24 General Fund Budget.
Alternatives:
City Council has the following alternatives:
- Approve as submitted
- Approve with changes
- Denial
Council Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution as presented.
