RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
WAIVING THE BID PROCESS, AND
AUTHORIZING THE SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE
OF THREE ZOLL AUTOPULSE SYSTEMS WITH
PASS THRU AND AUTOPULSE ACCESSORIES
FROM ZOLL MEDICAL CORPORATION
IN THE AMOUNT OF $53,026.21
WHEREAS, the National City Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Committee
has requested the purchase of three AutoPulse Systems with Pass Thru and AutoPulse
accessories to provide automatic chest compressions to patients in cardiac arrest; and
WHEREAS, since January 2009, the EMS Committee has been evaluating the
use of mechanical CPR and finds that the AutoPulse System with Pass Thru provides a better
quality of CPR than manual CPR by providing uninterrupted compressions to the entire chest
cavity rather than to a single point on the patient's chest; and
WHEREAS, currently, there are two mechanical CPR systems on the market.
After evaluating both mechanical compression systems, the EMS Committee found that the
AutoPulse System with Pass Thru, which can only be purchased from one vendor, best meets
the needs of the Fire Department; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 12.60.220(B) of the National City Municipal
Code, the Purchasing Agent may dispense with the requirements of the bidding process when
Noose the commodity can be obtained by only one source. Sole source procurements may be used
when there is only one source from which a particular commodity is available and there is no
adequate substitute. Sole source procurement may also be used when it is clear that
competitive bidding will not produce any competitive advantage or would be impractical or not
meet an urgent city procurement need.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby waives the bid process, and authorizes a sole source purchase of three
AutoPulse Systems with Pass Thru and AutoPulse accessories from Zoll Medical Corporation in
the amount of $53,026.21 for the National City Fire Department.
