Title

Purchase of Zoll Cardiac Monitors (B)

This item requests the City Commission approve the purchase of Zoll Cardiac monitors with designated capital funds for Gainesville Fire Rescue.

Explanation

On September 20^th, 2018, the City Commission approved the General Government Financial and Operating Plan for FY19 which included Capital Projects Funding for GFR Equipment Replacement of $970,990 within the Capital Improvement Revenue Bond 2019 Fund 360.

Gainesville Fire Rescue provides advanced cardiac life support and an essential piece of equipment used for this purpose is a cardiac monitor/defibrillator.  With technological advances and maintenance limitations, the current supply of monitors is ready for replacement.  To maintain consistency of service during the replacement cycle and with Alachua County Fire Rescue units, which also carry these devices, GFR recommends the purchase of twenty-two (22) Zoll X Series Manual Monitor/Defibrillators.  A quote was received February 25^th, 2019 from the Zoll Medical Corporation for $765,499.94.  Trade-in values included in the quote are only guaranteed through March 30^th, 2019.

Fiscal Note 

Funding for this purchase of $765,499.94 is available in account 360-820-M124-5220-6040.

Recommendation

The City Commission authorize the City Manager or designee to execute a contract with the Zoll Medical Corporation for the purchase of Zoll Monitor/Defibrillators, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
