Board approves $82,232 purchase of Stryker lift and cot system to replace damaged unit
Summary
After damage to a medic's lift and cot system in the January accident, the board approved purchasing a Stryker lift and cot system for $82,232.65 to reduce responder injuries and keep training equipment available.
The Fire Territory Board authorized staff to purchase a Stryker lift system and powered cot following damage in the Medic 134 accident. Harder told members the lift-and-cot system reduces injuries for responders and that the damaged unit will be retained for training but will not return to service.
Harder described the cot and load system as two linked components and stated a total cost of $82,232.65 in the resolution. A board member moved to approve the resolution and a second was made; the motion passed on a voice vote.
The board noted the damaged cot would be kept for training use only and that the new equipment was not part of planned replacement until the accident made replacement necessary.
