TITLE: A seven-year preventive maintenance and repair service agreement with Stryker Medical, a division of Stryker Corporation, for North Port Fire Rescue's new stretcher lifting systems and stretchers at a FY 2017-18 budgeted cost of $26,300.
Recommended Action
Approve a seven-year preventive maintenance and repair service agreement with Stryker Medical, a division of Stryker Corporation, for North Port Fire Rescue's new stretcher lifting systems and stretchers at a FY 2017-18 budgeted cost of $26,300.
Background Information
In 2017, Commission approved the purchase of two replacement ambulances from REV RTC, LLC which included the new Stryker Power-Load stretcher lifting systems.

Each time a new piece of equipment is purchased, we must establish a new agreement.
The period of this agreement will run from April 1, 2018 to March 31, 2025 - seven years - which is the recommended lifecycle for this equipment.

The Agreement includes: (1) unlimited service calls; (2) replacement of pumps, hoses, electronics, etc.; and (3) one annual preventive maintenance inspection by Stryker Medical's "ProCare" field service team personnel. Full payment will be made on execution of this agreement - no further operational costs will be incurred except for non-cover...
