1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 1, 2024 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-e <br /> SUBJECT: Fiscal Year 2024-25 Purchase of Six (6) LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillators <br /> DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Quote #10956488 Kirby Saunders, Emergency Services <br /> Sole Source Letter Director, 919-245-6100 <br /> Customer Price Increase Letter Kim Woodward, Emergency Medical <br /> Services Division Chief, 919-245- <br /> 6100 <br /> Sarah Pickhardt, Division Chief of <br /> Emergency Management, 919-245- <br /> 6100 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve and authorize the Manager to sign all documents necessary for the <br /> procurement of six (6) LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillators. <br /> BACKGROUND: The FY 2024-34 Capital Investment Plan included the purchase of six (6) <br /> LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillators during Fiscal Year 2024-25. All six of the devices are <br /> scheduled to replace existing Version 2 LIFEPAK® units that are reaching end of life. <br /> Stryker, Inc. is the sole-source provider for the LIFEPAK® 15 monitor/defibrillators. Stryker does <br /> not allow any third-party vendors to sell this product. Orange County Emergency Medical Services <br /> (EMS) operates with the LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillators on a daily basis. <br /> Stryker is no longer able to obtain the electronic motherboard components to maintain and repair <br /> the current Version 2(V2) LIFEPAK® 15 units. Orange County owns and operates twenty-eight <br /> (28) LIFEPAK® 15 Monitor/Defibrillators, of which fourteen (14) are V2 monitors. With this <br /> purchase, Stryker will buy back six (6) V2 LIFEPAK® 15's at $6,500 per device for a total of <br /> $39,000. Emergency Services plans to replace the remaining eight (8) V2 monitors through the <br /> ambulance purchasing process (two monitors) and as planned in the Capital Investment Plan for <br /> 2025-26 (six monitors). <br /> By completing the purchase prior to November 1, 2024, Orange County's purchase will not be <br /> affected by the anticipated 3.5% cost increase to all Stryker products in the FY 2024-25. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Stryker has provided a quote for $234,667.20 for the six (6) LIFEPAK® <br /> 15 monitor/defibrillators. Emergency Services was allocated $289,000 in the Capital <br /> Replacement Plan Budget, leaving a net difference of $54,332.80 remaining in the budget. This <br /> savings includes the $39,000 in credit for V2 monitor buyback. <br />
