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The 119 current units were old, outdated and well pass their warranty periods.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