FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: NOVEMBER 17, 2015
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR A SOLE SOURCE
PURCHASE OF CHEST COMPRESSION SYSTEMS AND
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution for a sole source purchase of chest
compression systems, services and training from Physio -Control, Inc.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this purchase is currently available in account 325-48860-210-03-16
(Machinery and Equipment) for an amount not to exceed $82,316.15.
BACKGROUND:
During a cardiac arrest, proper and continuous CPR is a patient's best chance of
survival. Cardiac drugs are administered to a patient during resuscitative efforts and
circulation throughout the body has to take place for the cardiac drugs to be effective.
The use of the Lucas devices improves the circulatory rate by 60% over manual CPR
methods, which can greatly increase CPR survivability rates. Due to the length, height
and/or distance of many hotels, apartments, commercial buildings and trails within our
city, many times effective CPR is impossible while moving a patient. These devices will
allow proper CPR to be performed while traveling the distance to the MICU and during
transport to the hospital giving patients the very best chance to survive sudden cardiac
arrest.
The department is specifying this particular device since it is the only device that will
communicate with the patient monitors (LifePak 15) that are in use throughout the
department. This device also matches the unit that will be at Baylor -Grapevine and allow
the MICU's to transfer the patient to the same device and continue the communication of
information that was taking place prior to arriving at the hospital.
Staff recommends approval.
This procurement will be made as a sole source in accordance with Local Government
Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, § 252.022, General Exemptions (a)(7)(d). Physio -
