Recommended Action
Approve a seven-year preventative maintenance and repair service agreement with Stryker Medical, a division of Stryker Corporation, for North Port Fire Rescue's new stretcher lifting systems and stretcher at a cost of $35,432.
Background Information
In the FY 2018-19 approved budget, Commission authorized the purchase of three ambulances, two CIP replacement ambulances and one re-chassis. Additionally, one new West Villages' ambulance from the General Fund was also approved. A Stryker Power-Load lifting device will be installed in each ambulance at the factory. One Stryker Power-Pro stretcher for the West Villages ambulance has been purchased under a separate purchase order. Funding for maintenance and repair service agreement has been provided via SLA 19-2209 in the amount of $35,450. To maximize operational cost savings and ensure sufficient long-term coverage for preventive maintenance and repairs, we are requesting approval for a seven-year service agreement with Stryker Medical. Each time a new piece of equipment is purchased, we must establish a new agreement.
The period of this agreement will run from March 1, 2019 to February 28, 2026 - seven years - which is the recommended lifecycle for this equipment. A review of expenditures for repairs revealed the potential for operational cost savings for service calls (i.e., labor and travel), parts and no-cost battery exchanges.
The Agreement includes: (1) unlimited service calls; (2) replacement of pumps, hoses, electronics, etc.; and (3) annual preventive maintenance inspections by Stryker Medical's "ProCare" field service team personnel. Full...
