Authorizing the Mayor to enter into maintenance agreement for the service of Lifepak 15 Cardiac Monitors, Powerloads, Lund University Cardiopulmonary Assist System (LUCAS) devices, and other related emergency medical equipment for a term equal to the useful life of said equipment; authorizing an amount not to exceed $360,000 from the General Fund; waiving the competitive bidding requirements of TMC Chapter 187; and declaring an emergency.
Body
SUMMARY & BACKGROUND:
Lifepak 15 (LP-15) Cardiac Monitors/defibrillators and LUCAS devices are critical Advanced Life Support intervention tools and are integral to TFRD pre-hospital care/treatment of life-ending cardiac events, including arrythmia corrections, i.e., VFIB, AFIB, and STEMI’s, to return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) following Cardiac Arrest. The Power-Loads are the devices that secure the power cots on our transport units.
This Ordinance permits the service and maintenance agreement for all the equipment we have purchased as well as all the equipment inherited during the ALS/BLS merger and TFRD purchase of the Annex and equipment previously owned by Lucas County EMS.
Summary
NOW THEREFORE Be it ordained by the Council of the City of Toledo:
SECTION 1. That the Mayor is authorized to enter into a maintenance agreement for the service of Lifepak 15 Cardiac Monitors, Powerloads, LUCAS devices, and other related emergency medical equipment for a term equal to the useful life of said equipment upon terms and conditions acceptable to the Department of Law and the Director of Public Safety.
SECTION 2. That an expenditure in an amount not to exceed $360,000 is authorized from the General Fund Account Code 1001-53000-3341002EMSBUR for the service and maintenance contract of Lifepak 15 Cardiac Monitors, LUCAS devices, and Power-Loads.
SECTION 3. That this Council finds and determines it is in the best interest of the City to waive the competitive bid requirements of TMC Chapter 187 for the reason that the maintenance service provider, Stryker, is the sole-source provider for Lifepak 15 Cardiac Monitors, LUCAS devices, and Power-Loads currently owned and utilized by TFRD.
SECTION 4. That the Director of Finance is authorized to draw warrant or warrants against the Account Codes above in an amount not to exceed $360,000 in payment of the obligations authorized above upon presentation of the proper voucher or vouchers.
SECTION 5. That this Ordinance, being an emergency measure, shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage. The reason for the emergency lies in the fact that this Ordinance is necessary to facilitate Toledo Fire’s Emergency Medical Services to the community by maintain and servicing all Lifepak 15, LUCAS devices, and Power-Loads as per industry standards and manufacturer’s recommendations.
