Explanation

BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract for the option to purchase Medtronic Automatic Electronic Defibrillators equipment services and supplies for use by the City of Columbus from Physio-Control, Inc, the state contract vendor. The term of the proposed option contract will be through May 31, 2012 with the option to extend for up to two (2) one-year periods contingent on the extension of the State of Ohio Department of Administrative Services (DAS) cooperative contract (STS652).

The City has approximately 100 of these defibrillators located in its various facilities where their presence protects City employees and the public in the event of a medical emergency. These units and their maintenance parts are only available through this vendor and their pricing to us is the same as that offered through the State contract. The Purchasing Office conducted research regarding Automatic Electronic Defibrillators equipment services and supplies and has determined that the use of the services offered by Physio-Control, Inc. is in the best interests of the City, as no other vendor can provide this equipment services and supplies.

The Purchasing Office recommends an option contract be established with Physio-Control, Inc. based on the State's cooperative contract (STS652) currently in place for Medtronic Automatic Electronic Defibrillators equipment services and supplies. This contract is in effect until May 31, 2012 and may be extended at the discretion of the DAS. The use of State Cooperative Contracts is authorized by City of Columbus Ordinance #582-87.

The Purchasing Office has conducted negotiations with Physio-Control, Inc. in order to establish an agreement for these services on behalf of the City at the lowest pricing available. The agreement term corresponds with the DAS contract.

Physio-Control, Inc. CC#910697691 Expires 2-19-2012.

Estimated Annual Expenditure: $15,000.00. ...
