APPROVING THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE OF FOUR 12 LEAD CAPABLE
HEART MONITOR/DEFIBRILLATORS AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT FOR
AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $137,500 FROM ZOLL MEDICAL

Whereas, recent advancements in advanced cardiac care have demonstrated the
importance of early acquisition and interpretation of 12 -Lead electrocardiograms; and,

12 -Lead functions, requiring the purchase of new devices; and

available from Zoll Medical Corporation; and
Whereas, the City Council finds it is appropriate to waive public bidding pursuant to
Section 2.55.0701) of the San Rafael Municipal Code, and to authorize a sole -source
purchase from Zoll Medical Corporation of new, 12 -Lead capable heart
monitor/defibrillators that are only compatible from that source;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Manager of said City be
authorized and directed to execute a purchase order or agreement, in a form approved by
the City Attorney, for the purchase of four 12 -Lead capable heart monitor/defibrillators
and associated equipment with Zoll Medical Corp., in an amount not to exceed
$137,500.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Interim City Manager is hereby authorized to
take any and all such actions and make changes and expedite such agreements, in a form
as approved by the City Attorney, as may be necessary to accomplish the purpose of this
resolution.
