Title
Authorizing the expenditure of an amount not-to-exceed $41,126.40 per year for a four-year term from the General Fund for payment of a Service/Support agreement through Physio-Control INC. for the maintenance of 28 LIFEPAK heart monitors: waiving the competitive bid requirements of Chapter 187 of the Toledo Municipal Code; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the Toledo Fire and Rescue Department (TFRD) responded to over 53,000 emergency medical (EMS) incidents. A key component of an EMS/ALS system is the capability of assessment and treatment of cardiac related incidents in an effort to provide the highest possible level of pre-hospital emergency medical care.
This service contract is one way to insure that TFRD can continue to meet this increased demand for service, and provide it in the most cost effective manner. Twenty-eight LIFEPAK 15 heart monitor/defibrillators are covered by this support agreement. The cost of routine maintenance, component parts, and batteries justifies entering into this contract and therefore was included in the proposed budget and anticipated. This service and support agreement is for a term of four years through PHYSIO-Control INC who is the sole source for service and support on this equipment.
Summary
NOW, THEREFORE, Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:

SECTION 2. That, subject to future appropriations and availability of funds, the expenditure of an amount not to exceed $41,126.40 is authorized for the first year of the contract and an amount not to exceed $41,126.40 a year for the remaining 3 years of the contract is authorized from the General Fund, Account Code 1001-53000-3341002STDSTD for the cost of the service agreement to support twenty-eight LIFEPAK 15 monitor/defibrillators.
