This was Item 25 on Agenda of October 16, 2019 |
| | | | | | | | Background:
S07-L25476.A1 - Approve an amending ordinance to Ordinance No. 2016-0406, passed May 25, 2016 to increase the maximum contract amount from $5,921,966.53 to $7,398,166.53 for Contract No. 4600013776 between the City of Houston and Physio-Control, Inc. for defibrillators and defibrillators maintenance services for various departments.
Specific Explanation:
The Houston Fire Chief and the Chief Procurement Officer recommend that City Council approve an amending ordinance to increase the maximum contract amount from $5,921,966.53 to $7,398,166.53 for the contract between the City of Houston and Physio-Control, Inc. for defibrillators and defibrillators maintenance services for various departments.
This contract was awarded on May 25, 2016 by Ordinance No. 2016-0406, for a term of three-year with two one-year options in the maximum contract amount not to exceed $5,921,966.53. Expenditures as of July 17, 2019 totaled $5,608,673.45. The contract incurred expenditures at a rate higher than anticipated due to additional facilities and services being added by the departments. As a result of additional services, the maximum contract amount will be exhausted prior to the end of the contract term.
The scope of work requires the contractor to provide all supervision, labor, materials, tools, replacement parts, expendable items, and equipment necessary to provide maintenance, remedial repair, and calibration services for defibrillators and automated external defibrillators. The LifePak 12 and LifePak 15 units are used by Paramedic crews to perform lifesaving procedures in life-threatening situations. LifePak 500s & 1000s are biphasic AEDs used by EMS crews. LifePak CR PLUS and LifePak EXPRESS AEDs are strategically installed in City buildings and high-traffic public access areas (PAD) enabling non-medical personnel to assist patients in need of basic life support. These units defibrillate (shock) a heart that has stopped beating, utilizing the most current electrical technology (biphasic energy delivery) to successfully convert a heart rhythm to one that can produce a pulse. The units are portable, self-contained, battery operated, and user-friendly devices designed for use by EMS crews and laymen for the resuscitation of patients. This contract is used to maintain these lifesaving devices that protect public health and safety and prevent HFD apparatus and ambulances from operating without a certified defibrillator.
Physio-Control, Inc. is the manufacturer and sole maintenance provider for these heart monitor defibrillators (LifePak 12 & LifePak 15) and automated external and public access defibrillators (LifePak 500, LifePak 1000, LifePak CR PLUS and LifePak EXPRESS AEDs).
This recommendation is made pursuant to Chapter 252, Section 252.022 (a) (7) (A) “a procurement of items that are available from only one source because of patents, copyrights, secret processes, or natural monopolies” of the Texas Local Government Code for exempt procurement.
