Emergency Purchase ? Information Only



Emergency Purchase ? Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs):



On February 7, 2018, the Human Resources - Risk Management Division, notified

the City Manager that all the current AEDs installed around the City had to be

pulled due to their possibly dangerous condition as a matter of public health

and safety and to mitigate any potential liability.



The 119 current units were old, outdated and well pass their warranty periods.

Additionally, there has been no monitoring system in place to make sure the

AEDs were functioning properly. The AEDs were housed throughout the City in

the following locations:



Government Center ? 14 units

City Service Center ? 1 unit

Trade Center ? 1 unit

Metra ? 1 unit

Civic Center ? 2 units

Annex ? 1 unit

Police Department ? 80 units (78 in vehicles)

Public Works ? 7 units

Parks and Recreation ? 9 units

Bull Creek Golf Course ? 1 unit

Oxbow Meadows Golf Course ? 1 unit

MCP ? 1 unit



Quotes were obtained from the following vendors:





Vendor

Unit Price

Unit Offered

Total Cost for 119 Units

AED Brands

$1,350.00

Zoll AED Plus

$160.650 + $1,800 shipping cost = $162,450

Grainger

$1,515.99

Zoll AED Plus

$180.402.81

The Instrument House

$1,609.00

Zoll AED Plus

$191,471.00



AED Brands: This is the company from which Risk Management has purchased

replacement AEDs, one-at-a-time. They have provided a quote for one of the

best AEDs on the market, a model that is by far the best one for civilians to

use in an emergency situation. This model also has the longest warranty (seven

years), and it comes with a tracking and monitoring system, plus training by

the manufacturer?s representative. A monitoring system means that Risk

Management will be alerted in the case of a problem with any of the units. In

spite of the quality of the product, the AED quote is the lowest: $162,450 for

119 AEDs.



Grainger: Grainger has a contract with the City for the provision various

equipment. Their quote is for the same brand, but there is no monitoring

system. The total cost would be $180,402.81.



The Instrument House: This firm is on the State Contract. They can provide

the same brand of AED, but without the monitoring system or training. The

total cost would be $191,471.



The City Manager approved the emergency purchase on February 8, 2018.





Funding is available in the FY18 Budget: Risk Management Fund ? Human Resources

? Unfunded Claims ? Medical Supplies; 0860 ? 220 ? 3830 ? 6795.
