SUBJECT: Authorize the City Manager to Sign the Master Agreement with Flex Financial/Stryker for Medical Cardiac Monitors and Power Load Gurneys
===
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign the Master Agreement with Flex Financial/Stryker for medical cardiac monitors and power load gurneys.
Background:
The Calexico Fire Department has always provided the community and its guests with the highest level of Emergency Medical Services. Cardiac monitors are used frequently during emergency medical emergencies. They allow paramedics to provide advanced monitoring of the electrical activity in a patient's heart, as well as deliver electrical energy to the heart as needed. The Calexico Fire Departments current cardiac monitors were purchased in 2011 and are due for replacement based on recommended guidelines and certification. The signing of the Master Agreement with Flex Financial/Stryker will allow the Calexico Fire Department to maintain a service level that provides Advanced Life Support.
Discussion and Analysis:
Pursuant to the City's Purchasing Policy, commodities and services are AGENDA exempt from competitive bidding if they: (1) can only be obtained from one ITEM vendor; (2) are proprietary; and/or (3) are the only product that has been 9 categorized as acceptable. All source purchases are required to be supported by written documentation.
Flex Financial/Stryker has historically provided the City with its cardiac monitors/gurneys. An important consideration regarding the selection of cardiac monitors is compatibility with the City's Emergency Medical Services ("EMS") System.
The cardiac monitors provided by Flex Financial and Stryker are the only cardiac monitors that are currently compatible with the City's EMS System without severe overhauls to the system. Additionally, staff has developed an extreme familiarity and training with this specific type of cardiac and gurney equipment. As a result, this brand is the only type of equipment that has proven to be "acceptable". For the reasons above, the purchase of cardiac monitors from Flex Financial/Stryker qualify as "sole source" purchases.
The City desires to obtain the following equipment: 5 cardiac monitors, 3 Stryker Power Cots, electrical laryngoscope video McGrath Mac, Power load and power cot preventive service. Flex Financial/Stryker sales has provided the City with a Master Agreement, enabling the City to lease equipment from Flex Financial/Stryker with an option to purchase. Under the terms of the Master Agreement, the costs for the equipment are spread between ten annual payments of $104,999.99 for a total of $1,049,999.00. The first payment is scheduled to be made 30 days after execution of the Master Agreement.
Fiscal Impact:
$1,049,999.00 (Fire Account 111-25-250-55025-01)

Single/Sole Source Justification (SSJ)
This form must be used as justification for a purchase from a single or sole source without open competition when the purchase is $5,000 or above. The S.S.J. form is not to be utilized to circumvent normal purchasing procedure. It is to be used only as an exception when all attempts to pursue competitive purchasing practices have failed. Acceptance of this request will be at the discretion of the Finance Department and/or City Manager. Pricing is not a justification, by itself, for a single or sole source purchase; competitive pricing should be obtained for all purchases.
The following statements, in my professional judgment, are correct. I have researched the requirements to support these findings. I also certify that no personal advantage, gain or privilege has (or will) accrued to me through the purchase from this vendor. I have reviewed the vendor's proposed costs and find those costs fair and reasonable for the technical effort proposed.
