Title
An Ordinance approving a Lease-Purchase Financing Agreement between the City of Lee’s Summit and Stryker Medical for the purchase of new Lifepak defibrillator monitors for the fire department, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the same by and on behalf of the City. (F&BC 9/4/24) - WITHDRAWN
Body
Issue/Request:
This request will in effect replace the entire compliment of Lifepaks, commonly knows as cardiac monitor defibrillators. The current compliment will be traded in, offsetting the net price of the overall replacement. The term of the lease is 7 years, which at the end of the term the City will own the equipment and will then be free to make future decisions on replacement options.
Proposed Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an Ordinance approving a Lease-Purchase Financing Agreement between the City of Lee’s Summit and Stryker Medical for the purchase of new Lifepak defibrillator monitors for the fire department, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the same by and on behalf of the City.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance approving a Lease-Purchase Financing Agreement between the City of Lee’s Summit and Stryker Medical for the purchase of new Lifepak defibrillator monitors for the fire department, and authorizing the City Manager to execute all documents necessary to effectuate the same by and on behalf of the City.
Key Issues:
The Fire Department currently utilizes a version of Stryker Medical's monitor defibrillator referred too as the Lifepak 15 which is now approaching end of life and is being replaced with the new Lifepak 35. The fire department has historically purchased these devices in small quantities over several budget years which has resulted in varying replacement schedule time frames. As the Lifepak 15 is no longer the current standard the fire department desires to replace all of the Lifepak units with the newest version. The desire to replace all would allow for consistency for all Lifepaks used by the fire department during critical cardiac event calls, ensuring continuity in operation, training and maintenance of the units.
Entering into the proposed agreement will solve for a number of issues. This agreement will increase the over all number of units to allow for future anticipated growth within the fire department and will allow for a redundant capability by increasing the number of devices kept in reserve for maintenance and repair issues. Entering into this lease purchase agreement would allow for a complete replacement program for all of the fire department's monitor defibrillators on a common schedule with the most current version offered by the manufacturer. The terms of this agreement are 7 annual payments of $252,148.27. The total purchase price for these devices is $1,436,388.00. Currently funds are allocated within the budget's PSERP account for future replacement of Lifepaks, which would be redirected to the annual lease payment for these devices.
This purchase is coordinated with a separate purchase agreement that will replace all city owned Automatic External Defibrillators, commonly known as AED's, which expand technological capabilities as these units will communicate incident data from one device to another. This communication allows for more efficient data tracking and reporting for continued patient care at receiving hospitals, as well as for continuous quality improvement.
Impact/Analysis:
Timeline:
Start: Order will be placed in September of 2024, the anticipated delivery will be by end of calendar year 2024
Finish: This is a 7-year term. At the conclusion of the term the City will own the devices outright, allowing for all available replacement options.
