FC# <br /> <br /> REPLACEMENT OF OXYGEN EQUIPMENT <br /> for the Police Department <br /> By: Sgt. Tim Dwyer <br />Background: <br /> <br />The Police Department is requesting to purchase (1) oxygen demand valve to <br />replace a damaged unit, along with (1) oxygen regulator with liter flow ports. <br />Recently one of the oxygen demand valves malfunctioned during a medical <br />emergency, causing damage to internal components beyond repair. The <br />manufacture of the unit is no longer in business to support any warranty. We are <br />requesting approval to replace this unit. <br /> <br />In addition, the oxygen kit in one of the unmarked squads is currently set up with <br />an ancient "demand-only" oxygen regulator. On a recent medical, the Chief was <br />not able to provide mask/liter flow oxygen due to the-limitations of the outdated <br />unit. We are requesting replacement of this oxygen regulator. <br /> <br />The police department solicited price quotes from PARR Medical and EMP, our <br />current first aid suppliers. PARR medical had the lowest overall prices. $ 99.00 <br />for the Oxygen Regulator, and $ 284.75 for the Demand Valve. There is <br />sufficient funds in the Equipment Replacement Fund under first aid (fixed asset Cf <br />000240 and 001148) to cover the cost of these units, totaling $ 433.69 including <br />tax and shipping. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Staff recommends committee review and motion to City Council to authorize the <br />transfer of $ 433.69 from the Equipment Replacement Fund into Police Other <br />Capital Equipment Fund and to authorized purchase of a demand resuscitation <br />valve and oxygen regulator from PARR medical for a total of $ 433.69. <br /> <br />Council Action: <br /> <br />Motion to adopt attached Resolution #00-11-XXX authorizing the transfer of <br />$433.69 from the Equipment Revolving Fund to the General Fund for the <br />purchase of a demand valve and regulator from PARR Medical. <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />Police Chief <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br /> <br />FC: 11/14/00 <br /> <br /> <br />
