CONSENT AGENDA <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PURCHASING DIVISION <br />DATE: <br />TO: <br />THROUGH: <br />FROM: <br />SUBJECT: <br />January 7, 2015 <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Joseph A. Baird, County Administrat <br />Jason E. Brown, Budget Director <br />Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manag <br />Authorization for NASPO Contract SW300 for AED Equipment <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Fire Rescue Division utilizes Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) manufactured by <br />Medtronic Physio -Control. AED units and service have been acquired at a discounted rate through a <br />National Association of State Purchasing Officials (NASPO) Contract (#SW300). Our authorization to <br />use that contract was based upon the State of Florida's participation in the contract. <br />The State of Florida now uses its own contract for AEDs (which does not include our Medtronic <br />units), and has removed itself as a participating agency in the NASPO AED contract. The NASPO <br />contract allows the County, based upon the State's written authorization, to continue utilizing the <br />contract by becoming a participating agency itself. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Participating <br />Addendum to the NASPO Contract, designating Indian River County as a Participating Entity, and <br />authorize the Chairman to execute said agreement after the County Attorney has approved it as to <br />content and legal sufficiency. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Participating Addendum <br />State of Florida Authorization <br />APPROVED AGENDA ITEM: <br />By: iia/` v .0y <br />Joseph A.vBaird, County Admini trator <br />F• r: January 20, 2015 <br />Indian River Co <br />Approved <br />Date <br />Admin <br />M.)jgg <br />Legal <br />. <br />Budgetno <br />' <br />Department <br />1 <br />Risk Manager <br />102 <br />
