AGENDA CAPTION:

Consider Action to Approve the Purchase of Two (2) Cardiac Monitors from Stryker Corporation Through BuyBoard and Authorize the City Manager to Execute the Purchase Order in an Amount Not to Exceed $88,297.66.

BACKGROUND:

The Fire Department operates seven Stryker Lifepak 15 cardiac monitors to provide advanced life support to patients during a medical emergency.

An Asset Management System (AMS) is utilized to track the Town’s assets. Staff annually determines which assets need to be replaced based on AMS recommendations and an asset condition assessment. All seven of the Lifepak 15 cardiac monitors have been designated for replacement.

One Lifepak 15 was replaced at the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 using budgeted funds received from the Texas Ambulance Services Supplemental Payment Program (TASSPP). Four more were approved to be replaced using funds from the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund (CERF) in the FY2021 budget. Staff is requesting the replacement of the two remaining Lifepak 15 cardiac monitors. Funding for this purchase was approved in the FY2021 budget utilizing TASSPP grant funding.

Staff researched equipment pricing through purchasing cooperatives to obtain the best price and to reduce administrative expenses. The purchasing cooperative BuyBoard offered the best pricing. The purchase amount is within budget.

EQUIPMENT	VENDOR	DEPARTMENT	AMOUNT
2-Lifepak 15 Cardiac Monitors	Stryker	Fire	$88,297.66
TOTAL			$88,297.66
