From: PATRICK BUTLER, FIRE CHIEF
TITLE
APPROVE THE AGREEMENT WITH ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION FOR EXTENDED
WARRANTY AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE FOR NINE ZOLL X SERIES DEFIBRILLATORS/HEART MONITORS FOR AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $39,528 AND THE TERM FEBRUARY 1, 2026 TO JANUARY 31, 2029
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of the agreement with Zoll Medical Corporation (Zoll) will allow the Fire Department to maintain continuous warranty and maintenance coverage for its inventory of nine Zoll X-Series defibrillators/heart monitors (heart monitors).
BACKGROUND
The Redondo Beach Fire Department currently utilizes nine Zoll X-Series heart monitors. These heart monitors are a powerful tool deployed on each unit in the City fleet to enhance the Department’s ability to provide acute paramedic service when required for calls.
The City purchased its first six Zoll heart monitors in 2014 and increased the Department’s inventory to nine in 2017. On August 14, 2018, City Council approved an extended warranty and preventative maintenance agreement which brought all nine heart monitors under the same contract schedule.
If approved, the proposed Agreement would extend coverage until January 31, 2029, for a total not to exceed contract amount of $39,528. The pricing is inclusive of a 10% multi-unit discount that Zoll has made available to the City. Extending the maintenance agreement is a cost-effective way to ensure inventory continuity, maintain full working condition of these critical pieces of equipment and to extend their useful life. It is recommended the City Council approve the Agreement.
COORDINATION
This item was coordinated with the City Attorney’s Office and the Financial Services Department.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for the proposed agreement is available in the Fire Department’s FY 2025-26 Operating Budget.
