RE: Award Bid to Pomasl Fire Equipment for Power Assisted Ambulance Stretchers/Loaders
for the Fire Department ($125,930.00)
BACKGROUND
The 2018 CIP allocated $130,500.00 for three Stryker Power Load Cots and Loaders for Fire Department
ambulances. These power assisted stretcher/loader units are an equipment upgrade that has become the
national standard of care in the treatment of transport of patients cared by fire department paramedics.
Efficiency standards in response have resulted in an increased number of calls in which ambulances are
dispatched without a fire company to evaluate patients. This has saved wear and tear on fire trucks, but
has increased the number calls our paramedics are responding to with just two personnel. This, coupled
with the continued increase in weight of the patients transported, will provide a safer means for
paramedics to lift and load patients into the ambulances. These cots and loaders allow paramedics to
raise and load patients weighing up to 700 pounds with just the push of a button, instead of requiring
sheer brute strength of the personnel on the call. A goal in implementing these cots is to decrease both
acute and long term injuries suffered by fire fighters and paramedics while lifting patients.
ANALYSIS
Working with Fire Department staff, Purchasing prepared bid specifications for these units. Bids were
due April 3, 2018. The bid tab is attached. Based on the bid review, it was the consensus of City staff
that the low bid met the minimum bid requirements.
FISCAL IMPACT
The total fiscal impact for this purchase is $125,930.00. The 2018 CIP allocated a total of $130,500.000 for
the purchase and installation of the Power Cots and Loaders. This purchase will be charged to A/N#:
0323-0230-7204-06813.
RECOMMENDATION
Purchasing recommends the Common Council award the Power Cots and Loaders bid to Pomasl Fire
Equipment for $125,930.00.
Respectfull Sub itted,
Jon G. Urben, General Services Manager
