Commission to consider $91,850 ambulance simulator for EMS training; item deferred

Madam Clerk read Resolution 1125-12, authorizing the county mayor to sign contracts to purchase and deliver a platinum ambulance simulator from Simulator Solutions LLC for $91,850 for the Emergency Medical Services Department.

Christie, speaking for the department, said the simulator represents the back end of an ambulance, will be housed in the administration and training center, and includes hydraulics to mimic vehicle motion. "It would be for purposes of training our new paramedics and EMTs on loading patients and treating patients in the back end of a simulator," Christie said, and added that bond funds previously approved by the commission will fund the purchase.

The chair recommended taking members to see the simulator and deferred formal action to next week. No motion, mover/second, or vote tally appeared in the transcript.
