Body
Issue/Request:
AN ORDINANCE APPROVING SOLE SOURCE NO. 2017-058 AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT AND PHYSIO CONTROL, INC. FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LIFE-PAK DEFIBRILLATORS, LUCAS COMPRESSION DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR WITH A ONE YEAR RENEWAL OPTION AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR THE SAME.
Key Issues:
• The City of Lee’s Summit Fire Department currently owns and utilizes Physio Control LifePak 15 defibrillator/monitors and LUCAS compression devices for use in emergency medical situations.
• This equipment is very technical in nature and requires regular maintenance and testing.
• Medtronic Emergency Response Systems (a/k/a Physio Control Inc.) is the manufacturer of the equipment and is also the sole proprietor of the equipment’s operating software and hardware, and is therefore the only entity that can provide maintenance and testing services.
• Entering into a Sole Source Agreement for maintenance of the equipment will assist Fire Department staff by streamlining the maintenance process and will help ensure timely and adequate maintenance of the equipment.
Proposed Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING SOLE SOURCE NO. 2017-058 AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT AND PHYSIO CONTROL, INC. FOR THE MAINTENANCE OF LIFE-PAK DEFIBRILLATORS, LUCAS COMPRESSION DEVICES AND ASSOCIATED EQUIPMENT FOR A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR WITH A ONE YEAR RENEWAL OPTION AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A SERVICE AGREEMENT FOR THE SAME.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING SOLE SOURCE NO. 2017-058 AND APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN THE CITY OF LEE’S SUMMIT AND PHYSIO CONTROL, INC.

Background:
The Fire Department currently carries Physio Control LifePak 15 defibrillator/monitors on fire apparatus and Lucas compression devices on response chief vehicles, while other City departments have on hand Physio Control LifePak 1000 automatic external defibrillators for cardiac emergencies. Medtronic Emergency Response Systems (Physio Control, Inc.) builds these products which are specialized technical medical equipment. They must be maintained and tested to required standards. This service is provided exclusively by Physio Control as the sole proprietor of the software and the hardware.
Maintenance and testing services will be provided by Physio Control field representatives who are certified to maintain and repair this equipment. In order to have one point of contact for maintenance on all Physio Control equipment, the Fire Department is requesting permission to enter into this agreement which will manage annual maintenance of all City owned Life Paks and Lucas compression devices. With the Fire Department managing the annual maintenance with the vendor, the process will be more seamless with the one point of contact.
