Title
Consider approving Resolution No. 2022-131 authorizing the purchase of twenty-nine (29) Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and four (4) LIFEPAKs from Stryker in the amount of one hundred ninety-four thousand six hundred dollars ($194,600); and take appropriate action.
Body
BACKGROUND:
In FY 2022-2023, the Fire Department budgeted $53,800 for the purchase of 29 AEDs for the Farmers Branch Fire, Police, and Parks & Recreation Departments and $140,800 for the purchase of 4 LIFEPAKs for the Farmers Branch Fire Department.
AEDs in these locations are outdated and in need of replacement for the safety and benefit of the City’s residents, staff, and visitors.
LIFEPAKs have reached their end of life and no longer can be serviced by the manufacturer.
DISCUSSION:
FISCAL IMPACT:
All expenditures were previously communicated in the approved FY 22-23 Budget (1015542-680030). There are no new expenditures.
DISTRICT:
All
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that Stryker be approved for the purchase of 29 AEDs and 4 LIFEPAKs. This will be a sole source purchase as Stryker is the only provider of these products.
POSSIBLE COUNCIL ACTION:
1. I move to approve Resolution No. 2022-131.
2. I move to approve Resolution No. 2022-131, with modifications.
3. I move to table the issue for further study or take no action.
