Commissioners table ambulance chassis purchase, approve $157,048 for four LifePak monitors
Summary
The board deferred a decision on purchasing an ambulance chassis while approving $157,048 to buy four LifePak portable monitors/defibrillators that are nearing end-of-support.
Appling County commissioners tabled further action on an ambulance chassis purchase on Feb. 3, while approving the immediate purchase of four LifePak portable monitors/defibrillators for $157,048.
County Manager Reid Lovett discussed options with Appling Healthcare staff Robin Crosby and Shanna Martin about purchasing only a chassis and remounting equipment versus full replacement. Commissioners chose to postpone the chassis/remount decision pending additional clarification; Commissioner Randy Sellers moved to table the item and Commissioner Chad Kent seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
During that discussion, Ronnie Jowers raised the imminent end-of-support for existing LifePak portable monitors/defibrillators and asked that replacements be approved now so they can be transferred to any new ambulances later. Commissioner Randy Sellers moved to authorize the purchase of four LifePaks totaling $157,048; Commissioner Chad Kent seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
