Subject: Purchase of Cardiac Monitars
The Fire DeparCment wishes to purchase a specific bxand/model cardiac inonifois (2), and
the purchase price o,f $ 31,400.00 exceeds Che limit of $ 25,000 under which competitive
bidding is not required per KMC 7.15.050(a).
~~~ The brand/model of cardiac ~monitor is uniquely compatible with AED's (defibrillators)
located throughout the City o~CKenai (see Chisf Tilly's 3/26/06 inemo).
The use of the requested cardiac nionitor will provide proFessional rescuers the ability to
connect to the samo cables already u1 use ~with emergency equipinenY (AED's).
The requested cardiac monitors are only available through one company, and through a
single dealer representative located in Redmond, Washington, whose territory is fhe
Pacific Norfhwest, including Aiaska.
My recommendation is to approve the purchase of the cardiae monitors without
competitive bidding per KMC 7.15.050(b) as the ecluipment can only be furnished by a
single dealer.
