| | | | | | | | | Subject: | Approve ProCare Service Agreement with Stryker Corp. | | Meeting Date: | Thursday, April 1, 2021 | | From: | Marissa Trejo, City Manager | | Prepared by: | Greg DuPuis, Fire Chief |

| | | | | | | | I. RECOMMENDATION:
City Manager and Fire Chief recommend City Council approve the ProCare service agreement between the Coalinga Fire Department and Stryker Corp., and authorize the Fire Chief to sign the agreement on behalf of the Department.
II. BACKGROUND:
The ProCare service agreement between the Department and Stryker is for maintenance, servicing, inspections, and battery replacements for the Fire Department’s cardiac monitor/defibrillators. There are currently four of these machines in service within the Fire Department that are covered under this agreement. The term of this agreement starts April 26th of this year for a period of three years. This contract with Stryker is a renewal of a previous contract for technical support and maintenance that was for three years.
III. DISCUSSION:
The cardiac monitors and defibrillators that are utilized by the fire department require yearly inspections, software upgrades and preventative maintenance to keep the equipment in top operating condition. The service agreement includes scheduled maintenance, repair services, computer software upgrades, inspections, and safety checks in accordance with National Fire Protection Association guidelines along with a battery replacement program throughout the course of the agreement. In the event that an instrument is required to be shipped back to the manufacturer, Stryker agrees to provide a loaner machine so that no loss in services is incurred. The fire department does not have the necessary equipment, certifications or expertise to provide the comprehensive diagnostic servicing that these devices require.
IV. ALTERNATIVES:
Do not accept the contract, in which case maintenance, support, and servicing will have to be done every year at Stryker’s standard labor rates (less 10%), plus standard list prices for related parts, materials and batteries (less 15%), plus travel costs incurred. Not recommended.
V. FISCAL IMPACT:
The technical servicing agreement for the four LifePak 15 cardiac monitors is for $18,360.00 for the term of three years. Funds were budgeted within General Fund FY 20-21 to cover the cost. This pricing is in line with the previous contract and no significant changes have been made to the proposed contract. | | |
