Body
BACKGROUND:
This agenda item is for the purchase of one Stryker Power-LOAD system, one Stryker Power Pro Cot and associated installation equipment. This purchase is to replace existing Stryker patient loading and transport equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. This purchase is being made using a sole source provider, Stryker Medical Corporation. The Fire Department has a sole source letter on file.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Stryker Power-LOAD system and Stryker Power Pro Cot and associated installation equipment will be purchased from funds in the Fire Department’s Fiscal Year 2023 budget.
IMPACT ON COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY:
Carrollton Fire Rescue paramedics use this hydraulic cot and loading system when caring for every patient that is transported to the hospital. This system enhances the safety of personnel and patients by supporting the patient’s weight during the transport, loading, and unloading of the ambulance. This system decreases the spinal loading on CFR Paramedics and helps prevent cumulative back injuries.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION/ACTION DESIRED:
Staff recommends City Council approval of the purchase of one Stryker Power-LOAD system, one Stryker Power Pro Cot and associated installation equipment from Stryker Medical Corporation, as a sole source provider, in an amount not to exceed $66,000.00.
