The manufacturer of the unit is no longer in <br />business to support any warranty. Staff requested approval to replace the unit. In addition, the <br />oxygen kit in one of the unmarked squads is currently set up with an ancient "demand only" <br />oxygen regulator. On a recent medical, the Chief was not able to provide mask/liter flow oxygen <br />due to the limitations of the outdated unit. Staff requested replacement of the oxygen regulator. <br />The Police Department solicited price quotes from PARR Medical and EMP, the City's first aid <br />suppliers. PARR Medical has the lowest overall prices - $99.00 for the Oxygen Regulator and <br />$284.75 for the Demand Valve. There is sufficient funds in the Equipment Replacement Fund <br />under first aid (fixed asset #000240 and 001148) to cover the cost of these units, totaling $433.69 <br />including tax and shipping. <br /> <br />Motion by Councihnember Anderson, seconded by Councilmember Hendriksen, to recommend <br />that City Council adopt the resolution authorizing the transfer of $433.69 from the Equipment <br />Revolving Fund to the General Fund for the purchase of a demand valve and regulator from <br />PARR Medical. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Anderson, Hendriksen, and <br />Connolly. Voting No: None. <br /> <br />Finance Committee/November 14, 2000 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
