Explanation
BACKGROUND: The Fire Division needs to purchase CPR Manikins with feedback capabilities and a Lung Trainer for use in Paramedic and EMT initial training and continuing education, as part of City Council's Project Second Chance Program. Columbus City Council initiated Project Second Chance, a public education and outreach effort started in 2003, to raise awareness of sudden cardiac arrest and the value of cardiovascular resuscitation (CPR) in saving lives. Funds are available in the Fire Division's Public Access Defibrillation Program Fund established by City Council for Project Second Chance Projects.

This legislation also authorizes the Columbus City Auditor to appropriate $22,473.00 within the Fire Division's Public Access Defibrillation Program Fund, to the Department of Public Safety, Division of Fire and authorizes the Finance and Management Director to issue a purchase order for EMS training equipment from existing Universal Term Contracts established by the Purchasing Office for such purposes with BoundTree Medical LLC in the total amount of $22,473.00.

Bid Information: Universal Term Contracts exist for these purchases.

Contract Compliance: BoundTree Medical LLC - CC# 311739487 expires 03/17/2011.

Emergency Designation: Emergency action is requested as funds are needed immediately for these purchases to allow EMS officers continued training.

FISCAL IMPACT: This ordinance authorizes an appropriation of $22,473.00 from the unappropriated balance of the Special Purpose Fund for Fire Division's Public Access Defibrillation Program and authorizes an expenditure of the same amount from this Special Purpose Fund to purchase EMS training equipment. Ordinance 0692-2008, passed in May 2008, appropriated $41,776.40 for similar equipment and supplies.
