Currently, the department has (3) LIFEPAK 15 V1 cardiac monitors that were purchased in 2009 and are no longer supported by the manufacturer. The purchase will provide all frontline emergency response apparatus the ability to maintain currently serviceable cardiac monitors and to provide continued advance emergency medical care. Cardiac monitors are vital to the effective delivery of advanced paramedic patient care and to the efficiency of emergency medical service operations. The Salinas Fire Department received a quote from Global Medical Response for the purchase of 3 LIFEPAK-15 Cardiac Monitors, associated equipment, and required service contracts for a total of $79,925.71. The Fire Department is requesting an additional 15% contingency for a total amount not to exceed $91, 914.57.
