SUBJECT: Approval for Purchase of Stryker LP35 Cardiac Monitor Defibrillators
__________________________________________________________________
BACKGROUND
Indian River County Fire Rescue budgeted for the purchase of thirty-five (35) Stryker LP35 Cardiac Monitor Defibrillators (FY) 2025/2026. The current Stryker LP15 cardiac monitors are found on each Advanced Life Support (ALS) unit throughout the fleet and are beginning to be phased out with the addition of the new LP35’s improved technology.
Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners declare asset numbers: 28563, 28047, 28048, 28049, 28050, 28051, 28052, 28053, 28282,28283, 28560, 28561, 28562, 28564, 28565, 28566, 29115, 29773, 29774, 32417, 32418, 32419, 32420, 32421, 32633, 32634, 32635, 32636, 32637, 32638, 32639, and 32640, as well as Non Asset’s with serial numbers: 49511244, 49514326, and 50290568 as surplus and authorize their trade in for a discount on the purchase of the new LP35s.
ANALYSIS
The total cost for the thirty-five (35) defibrillators, including shipping, is $1,927,008.75. The trade-in credit for the old equipment is $2,800.00 each with shipping, for a total discount of $98,000.00. The net cost for the new equipment with trade-in comes to $1,829,008.75. This exceeds the budgeted amount of $1,750,000.00 by $79,008.75, or 4.5%. The defibrilators are not currently priced on the referenced Savvik contract, but the quoted price is lower than the other potential cooperative contract through Sourcewell. Staff recommends the Board waive the requirement for bids, in the event the Savvik contract is not updated to include the equipment.
BUDGETARY IMPACT
Funding, in the amount of $1,750,000.00, is budgeted and available in the Emergency Services District Fund/Fire Rescue/Other Machinery & Equipment account, number 11412022-066490. The additional $79,008.75 needed will be appropriated via budget amendment.
POTENTIAL FUTURE BOARD ACTIONS
Additional purchases maybe needed in the future to replace outdated equipment.
