800K t 1-J" .� The prior contract was for $13,428.00 during FY 91-92. The new contract is for $13,548.00, or a $120.00 increase. The county has 10 monitors and defibrillators, ten battery support systems, seven external pacemakers and three Lifepak 10's with external pacers. A total of $14,000 was budgeted in FY 92-93 to fund the technical Services Agreement with Physio -Control. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS: Physio -Control is the manufacturer of the lifepak series of cardiac monitors and defibrillators. The sales and service force from Physio -Control are direct manufacturer representatives. Physio - Control Technical Services is the only company authorized repair function in the State of Florida and is the single or sole source for parts, repairs and/or maintenance on this equipment. This critical patient care equipment is very technical in nature and ALS must ensure that it is properly maintained and serviced by factory trained personnel to reduce liability risk. It suffices to say that any malfunction of the lifepak during life saving techniques would jeopardize the assets of the county if litigation should occur. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the Biomedical Equipment Services Agreement with Physio -Control in the amount of $13,548.00. Staff also requests the Board to authorize the Chairman to execute the Agreement on the basis of a single/sole source vender. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously approved and authorized the Chairman to execute the Biomedical Equipment Services Agreement with Physio - Control as the single/sole source vendor in the amount of $13,548.00, as recommended by staff.
