Trustees approve Stryker power cot purchase for new ambulance
Summary
The board approved purchase of a Stryker Power Cot System for a new frontline ambulance at a cost of $73,579.52, with a $4,500 trade-in credit and a $15,000 ICRMT grant applied.
The board approved the purchase of a Stryker Power Cot System to equip a new frontline ambulance ordered by Elmwood Park. Manager Paul A. Volpe’s packet lists the total cost at $73,579.52; the village will apply a $4,500 trade-in credit for equipment on the current ambulance and a $15,000 grant award from ICRMT toward the purchase.
Volpe told trustees the power cot system uses a battery-operated lifting and loading mechanism mounted to the ambulance and cot to reduce injury risk for both patients and crews. The item was part of the consent package approved by unanimous roll call.
