Board approves purchase of new radiographic system to replace aging equipment
Summary
Trustees approved purchase of a new radiographic system with a two-year warranty; staff said the system was the lowest quote and will be purchased using loan proceeds. The transcript shows the quoted cost as '196,9643' (amount unclear).
The Alva Hospital Authority board approved the purchase of a new radiographic imaging system during its late-November meeting, citing the current unit’s inability to be repaired and staff preference for the selected model.
Board members reviewed a quote (03540021) for a “Shimatu Radspe Pro SRS” radiographic system with a two-year warranty. Staff told trustees the existing equipment was no longer repairable, the selected system was the lowest quote, service agreements would be less costly than an alternate brand referenced in the packet, and the purchase will be funded with loan proceeds the board earlier discussed.
Dr. Mossberg moved to approve the purchase and Dr. Brown seconded. Roll call recorded unanimous approval.
The transcript lists the total cost in a form shown as “196,9643.” Staff described that number as the total cost associated with the quote and noted a two-year warranty would be included. The transcript contains typographical inconsistencies in the vendor and price names; staff told the board the equipment would be new and expected to last many years compared with the current used machine, which had been in service about 15 years.
Next steps: procurement staff will finalize ordering and use loan proceeds once the loan closing mechanics are completed. The board did not record additional warranty amendments or service-contract terms in the meeting minutes.
