They are a critical piece of <br /> equipment for the rescue workers. The rescue squad's defibrillators are outdated and <br /> have required expensive repair over the past few years. Given this, the city budgeted <br /> 12,500 for one defibrillator in the 1994 CIP and 12,500 for a second one in <br /> 1995. However, the condition of the current machines, the necessity of using two <br /> different machines for a year and the fact that the cost of two machines was under <br /> the planned 1994 CIP expenditure lead the fire department to request proposals for <br /> two defibrillators rather than for one defibrillator in 1994. (There will be no need to <br /> purchase one in 1995.) <br /> The proposals for two defibrillators are: <br /> Spacelabs Medical 12,013 <br /> Laerdal 12,956.50 <br /> Physio control 13,115 <br /> Marquette Electronics 14,300 <br /> The staff recommends purchasing the two defibrillators from Spacelabs Medical <br /> because it is the lowest cost and is the variety recommended by the Ramsey County <br /> medical control that oversees the training and operations of the city's rescue service. <br /> ATTACHMENT: <br /> A Proposal from First Medic /Spacelabs <br /> ACTION REQUESTED: <br /> Approve the purchase of two defibrillators from Spacelabs Medical for 12,013 out <br /> of the public safety capital improvement fund. <br /> CONSENT iNCONSE `IENCON ENS <br />
