MEMO TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER�L
MEETING DATE: DECEMBER 20, 2005
SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION FOR CARDIAC MONITOR
UPGRADES TO EXISTING EQUIPMENT
RECOMMENDATION:
City Council to consider approval of a resolution to declare Medtronic Emergency
Response Systems a sole source provider to update the existing cardiac monitor
equipment. The total cost of this agreement is not to exceed $49,053.00.
FUNDING SOURCE:
Funding for this expenditure is currently available in account 325-42281-210-06-0008
Lease Fund/Apparatus & Tools.
BACKGROUND:
This procurement will be made as a sole source in accordance with Local Government
Code Chapter 252, Subchapter B, Section 252.022 (A).
This request is to approve the upgrade of 15 defibrillator/monitors currently in use at the
City. In 1998, the City purchased new heart monitors that would last several years and
that could be upgradeable as new technologies emerged. Currently, upgrades are
available that will allow City Paramedics to monitor airway placement through
Capnography digital wave technology. This technology will provide better defibrillation
with Biphasic shock technology. This technology is recommended to maintain a high
standard of care in our community. Council approved the upgrade during this year's
budget process.
Because this equipment was originally purchased from Medtronic Emergency Response
Systems, they are the only source that can provide this service.
Staff recommends approval of a resolution to designate Medtronic Emergency
Response Systems as the only source to provide upgrades to the current equipment in
the total amount of $49,053.00.
