Summary
The Purchasing Committee voted to recommend to the council the purchase of 10 AEDs and protective enclosures for public spaces, at a total cost of $30,840 to be paid from an opioid-settlement fund.
The Purchasing Committee voted to recommend that the council award a bid to buy 10 automated external defibrillators (AEDs) and protective enclosures for the rescue department. The chair introduced the request, saying, "So this is, the rescue department requesting 10 AEDs, 5 of which would have weather protected cases, 5 which would have, standard cases." The chair also said the purchase would come through the MAS MPA pre-bid contract and that "the total amount is $30,840 funded through the Oak opioid fund, money was received through that, settlement."
A committee member described plans to place the new AEDs in public spaces and recalled a local death to underline the devices' importance, saying the units would be added to locations that currently lack them. After brief discussion the member moved to recommend the award to the council; the motion was seconded and the committee voted in favor. The recommendation will go to the full council for final approval.
