T) F QOM: CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of—OCTOBER 22, 1991 Honorable Mayor and City Council S. UBJECT DAVID G. HALL, Fire Chief PARAMEDIC EQUIPMENT/FIRE AUTHORIZE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF Date:October 11, 1991 PHYSIO–CONTROL MONITOR/DEFIBRILLATOR LIFE PAK 10 BACKGROUND: The Council recently authorized the addition of Paramedics at Fire Station #3. We are currently in the process of hiring the individuals who will provide this service. These individuals will require certain equipment to perform their job. DISCUSSION• The Colton Fire Department uses Physio Control Corp. monitor/defibrillators exclusively. Physio Control Corporation is the sole distributor, and the City has always purchased directly from the Physio Control Sales Department. Currently, we have two (2) LifePak 51s, and one (1) LifePak 10 models. We purchased the LifePak 10 when Fire Station 4 opened. It is the latest model, with advanced features, and cost little more than the LifePak 5's already in service. Batteries for these units are interchangeable. We currently have a Maintenance Agreement with Physio Control for these units. When we purchase another unit, it should be totally compatible with the units now in use, batteries should be interchangeable, and personnel should be able to use any of the units without confusion. Physio Control was called in order to obtain current pricing on a LifePak 10 unit for Station 3. We were given a price on a new LifePak 10, without cardiac pacing, as $9085.00, plus tax. The sales representative made contact with the department shortly afterward and informed us that he has a demonstration model, that will be totally refurbished, tested, and be available with a new unit warranty, for a price of $7762.50, plus tax.
