WHEREAS, in 2014, the San Rafael Fire Department responded to over 7,500 calls for service,
of which over half (70%) were Emergency Medical Service (EMS) incidents; and
WHEREAS, cardiac monitor/defibrillators are used on every EMS response, often in harsh

WHEREAS, the Fire Department's Zoll model M -Series and Zoll model E -Series cardiac
monitors/defibrillators are due for replacement, and Staff has recommended they be replaced with
upgraded models that provide a bevy of improved features such as improved data collection, enhanced
technology for collecting and migrating vital signs into electronic patient reports, and on -board CPR
feedback that will assist the San Rafael Fire Department in improving the standard of care offered within
its operating area; and
WHEREAS, at this time Staff is recommending the purchase of three (3) replacement cardiac
monitors/defibrillators from vendor Zoll Medical Corporation, by "piggybacking" onto a competitively
awarded bid from the League of Oregon Cities through the National Purchasing Partners Cooperative
Purchasing Program. Section 2.55.260 of the San Rafael Municipal Code authorizes purchases through
such a cooperative purchasing agreement without conducting a competitive bidding process; and

support the proposed purchase.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council does hereby authorize the
purchase of up to three (3) cardiac monitor/defibrillators from Zoll Medical Corporation, through a
