Agenda Text
The BOCC is requested to authorize the County Manager to execute a contract with Styker in the amount of $135,734.38 to provide EMS Procare Services for Emergency Medical Services (EMS) stretchers and Power-LOAD units. Current capital improvement funds will be used to cover the cost of the contract.
Durham County OES-Emergency Medical Services purchased Stryker stretchers and Power-LOAD systems and placed them into service in 2021. At that time no warranties, maintenance, or repair contracts were purchased. As these units continue to age, they are requiring regular maintenance and repair including batteries ranging from $700-$900 each. During a mechanical breakdown of a unit, they are out of service until repair. EMS Prevent services will cover all breakdowns and reduce the out-of-service time for contract and/or purchase order processing times.
Alignment with Strategic Plan: County’s Strategic Goal 3: Safe and Secure Community and Goal 5: Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government.
Resource Persons: Marc Ferguson, OES Business Operations Supervisor
County Manager’s Recommendation: The County Manager recommends that the BOCC authorize the County Manager to execute a contract with Stryker in the amount of $135,734.38 for the contract of OES-Emergency Medical Services Stryker stretcher and power load preventative maintenance and repairs.
