STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT
This action supports Key Focus Area: Support Healthy and Safe Communities.
INFORMATION/BACKGROUND
The Fire Department responds to approximately 12,000 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) calls per year.
During these calls, the department utilizes key pieces of medical equipment for basic and advanced life
support. Over the past several years, the department has evaluated equipment inventory to ensure uniformity
in responder training, safety, and patient care.
The department’s frontline apparatuses are furnished with medical equipment that is available through
Stryker Sales, LLC. Currently, all 12 ambulances (eight frontline and four reserves) include automated
patient lifts, stretchers, and stair chairs to assist in patient transport with minimal lifting. All ambulances
also include automated cardiopulmonary resuscitation devices, defibrillators, and equipment to monitor
patient vitals during transport which transmits data directly to the hospital. In addition to ambulances, all
frontline fire vehicles and various city facilities include automated external defibrillators, expanding the
number of opportunities for life-saving defibrillation.
Based on historical spend and future projections, the recommended not-to-exceed amount is $2,000,000 for
a total five (5) year contract.
Pricing obtained through the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing Network and Savvik Cooperative
Purchasing Network have been competitively bid and meet the statutory requirements of Texas Local
Government Code 271.102.
