Report
City Council Meeting: December 18, 2018
Agenda Item: 3.Q
1 of 3
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Bill Walker, Fire Chief, Fire Department
Subject: Increase Purchase Order with Zoll to Purchase Cardiac Monitor Durable
Goods
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the Procurement Manager to issue a
change order to purchase order #21901362 in the amount of $150,000 with Zoll
Corporation, a Massachusetts-based company for the purchase of cardiac monitor
defibrillator durable goods (batteries, battery chargers, cables, cuffs, pads, monitor
paper, and specialty items), for the Fire Department. This would result in a revised
purchase order total not to exceed $683,139, with future year funding contingent on
Council budget approval.
Summary
The Fire Department seeks to purchase $30,000 annually in durable goods (batteries,
battery chargers, cables, cuffs, pads, monitor paper, and specialty items) for recently
purchased cardiac monitor defibrillators. The cardiac monitor defibrillators provide pre-
hospital emergency care and fulfill the medical equipment requirements defined by the
Los Angeles County Emergency Medical Services Agency. Following a formal request
for proposal process, Zoll Inc. was recommended as the best bidder to provide and
deliver the cardiac monitor defibrillators. Staff is requesting the Procurement Manager
issue a change order to purchase order #21901362 in the amount of $150,000 over the
next five years with Zoll Corporation, a Massachusetts-based company, for the
purchase of cardiac monitor defibrillator durable goods for the Fire Department. This
would result in a revised purchase order total not to exceed $683,139, with future year
funding contingent on Council budget approval.
Discussion
The Fire Department responds to nearly 13,000 emergency medical calls each year and
uses a variety of medical supplies to deliver emergency medical care. This includes the
2 of 3
use of cardiac monitor defibrillators on patients with medical conditions and traumatic
injuries. The use of the cardiac monitor is crucial to patient assessment and care.
Studies show that early defibrillation is a critical component in treating cardiac arrest.
The Fire Department responds to over 80 cardiac arrest patients per year and over 700
patients with possible cardiac chest pain. In these cases, as well as many others
including respiratory and neurological problems, the use of reliable defibrillators is a key
element of providing life-saving emergency care.
On October 9, 2018 Council awarded a purchase order for the purchase of the cardiac
monitors and the service. The Fire Department is seeking to increase the purchase
order to include the purchase of durable goods including monitor cables, batteries,
monitor paper, and associated specialty items, as the cost of the durable goods was not
included in the original report.
Financial Impacts and Budget Actions
Staff seeks authority to increase a purchase order with Zoll to provide cardiac monitor
defibrillator durable goods for the Fire Department. The purchase order is for an
amount not to exceed $150,000 over five years with a total contract not to exceed
$683,139.
