Maas, Chief of Police <br />Michael A. Grandinetti, Police Captain <br /> <br />4/21/2011 <br /> <br />Approval to expend up to $51,328.64 of Reimbursable Grant Funds for <br />the purchase of forty-eight (48) HeartStart FRx Defibrillators for the <br />Police Department. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution approving the <br />purchase of forty-eight (48) HeartStart FRx Defibrillators from Philips Healthcare, Inc. to <br />replace the current, out of date defibrillators use by the police department. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />On September 22,2010, the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department was awarded a COPS <br />Technology Program Grant in the amount of $200,000.00 One of the projects associated <br />with this grant was the purchase of forty-eight defibrillators to assure that each Sunny <br />Isles Beach Police Officer was assigned a defibrillator to assist them when responding to <br />cardiac related medical emergencies. <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The Sunny Isles Beach Purchasing Department has researched the purchase of these <br />defibrillators and determined that the most cost effective method of purchase would be <br />through a piggy-back contract. If approved, the defibrillators would be purchased from <br />Philips Healthcare, Inc. piggy-backing the Seminole County Contract #IFB-3125-05/JVP <br />at a price not to exceed $51,328.64. This price represents a discount of 54% off the retail <br />cost. <br /> <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br /> <br />Funds for the purchase of these Defibrillators will be reimbursed through the COPS <br />FY2010 Technology Program Grant # 2010-CKWX-0481 <br /> <br />Agenda Item tOE- <br />~IJ <br /> <br />http://sibagenda.sibfl.net/agenda/Preview .aspx?I temID=483 &MeetingID= Date <br />
