?r- <br />CONSENTAGENDA <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PURCHASING DIVISION <br />DATE: February 25, 2025 <br />TO: BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />THROUGH: John A. Titkanich, Jr., County Administrator <br />David Johnson, Emergency Services Director <br />Kristin Daniels, Director, Office of Management and Budget <br />FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />SUBJECT: Waiver of Bid Requirement for Stryker Equipment Maintenance <br />BACKGROUND: <br />The Fire Rescue Division utilizes various standardized equipment from Styker, <br />including LIFEPAK 15 patient monitors/defibrillators, LUCAS chest compression <br />systems, and powered stretchers. Equipment and associated maintenance have largely <br />been procured through a Board -authorized declaration of Stryker as sole source. <br />Because Stryker holds many cooperative contracts, the use of which affords the County <br />more stable and typically lower pricing than direct sourcing, as well as beneficial terms <br />and conditions, the sole source designation of Stryker as sole source was allowed to <br />expire in June of 2024. <br />Annual ProCare maintenance services for the Lifepak monitors and Lucas chest <br />compression systems, acquired under the sole source designation and effective October <br />1, 2023, have not been found to be priced lower under a cooperative contract. Staff is <br />therefore requesting a waiver of the requirement for bids. <br />FUNDING• <br />The annual cost of the maintenance is $77,941.50, which is budgeted and available in <br />the Emergency Services District/Fire Rescue/Maintenance-Other Equipment account <br />(11412022-034690) <br />Account Description <br />Account Number <br />Amount <br />Emergency Services District/Fire Rescue/Maint-Other Equip <br />I11412022-034690 <br />$77,941.50 <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends the Board of County Commissioners waive the requirement for bids <br />and authorize the Purchasing Division to issue purchase orders for the current Stryker <br />Procore annual maintenance program. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Stryker Procore Invoice and Quote <br />63 <br />
