Public safety to replace aging monitors with $224,189 Lifepak purchase; commissioners approve
Summary
The Board approved purchase of four Lifepak 35 monitors and accessories from Stryker for $224,189.32 after staff said older units (2012–2014) can no longer be serviced; the vendor offered a trade‑in and staff noted an impending price increase.
The public safety chief requested the county buy four new Lifepak 35 cryo monitors and accessories from Stryker for $224,189.32. The chief explained the current Lifepak 15 monitors purchased in 2012 and 2014 are at the end of service life and parts are no longer available; STRAC guidance recommends replacing treatment devices every eight years. Staff said Stryker offered a trade‑in for old units and warned of a price increase in October, prompting the purchase request.
Commissioners asked questions and moved to approve the purchase so the county can maintain service reliability for emergency medical response; the motion passed unanimously.
