RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Purchasing Agent, on behalf of the Fire Chief, to execute a purchase order with Stryker, in an amount not to exceed $215,000, for the purchase of four (4) LIFEPAK defibrillators and accompanying equipment.

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% CCCFPD EMS Transport Fund: $215,000; costs will be covered with existing appropriations in the CCCFPD EMS Transport Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (District) uses highly technical emergency medical equipment to provide care on the scene of medical emergencies. LifePak defibrillators are utilized by EMTs and Paramedics to analyze the heart’s rhythm and, if necessary, deliver an electrical shock (defibrillation) to help the heart reestablish an effective rhythm. They can also be used as a pacing device and conduct 12-lead electrocardiograms. The District needs to purchase new defibrillators periodically as older equipment becomes damaged beyond repair or ages beyond use.
