Background:
Alachua County Fire Rescue (ACFR) utilizes Zoll E-series monitors on its front-line ALS units. Manufacturer life expectancy for the Zoll E-series monitors is 8-years and ACFR units have reached that benchmark. Zoll no longer manufactures the E-series and will no longer provide software updates.
The FY19 budget included funding to replace half of the Zoll E-series monitors with the Zoll X-series. The FY20 budget includes funding for the remaining units ($413,589) and the additional rescue unit ($35,000). The new technology offers WiFi connectivity for transmission of electrocardiograms (ECGs) to the hospital rather than Bluetooth connection used by E-series.
Volusia County currently has an agreement with Zoll that ACFR is able to utilize and save over $1,100.00 per unit. In addition, Zoll has offered a credit as trade-in values for $1,000.00 of the E-series units. A supplemental agreement is necessary to utilize the Volusia County agreement and pricing.
On November 12, 2019, the Board approved a purchase order to Zoll, however, the pricing did not comply with the Volusia County agreement and the required supplemental agreement was not included in the recommended action.
On September 24, 2019, the Board Adopted the FY20 Budget which included funding for the replacement of the cardiac monitors for the fire units.
On November 13, 2018, the Board approved the Supplemental Agreement for the replacement of the cardiac monitors for the rescue units.
