Recommendation
Motion to approve additional spending on Sole Source No. SS2024-028 with Zoll Medical Corporation for service, maintenance and parts utilizing their Worry-Free service program in the amount of $35,000 for a revised total value of $99,000.
Body
Background:
Delray Beach Fire Rescue utilizes Zoll cardiac monitor/defibrillators exclusively across all frontline emergency response units. These devices are critical for providing advanced life support and are deployed on nearly 100% of medical calls. To ensure uninterrupted operational readiness and patient safety, the Fire Department participates in the Zoll Worry-Free Service Plan, which includes annual preventative maintenance, on-site factory-certified technician support, free replacement batteries, loaner devices during repairs, and discounted parts and accessories.
Additional spending authority is being requested at this time to address two urgent needs: (1) to allow for the timely procurement of essential replacement parts that are currently backordered or unavailable through other vendors, and (2) to pay for the upcoming annual service required under the existing Zoll Worry-Free Service Plan. These services are proprietary and only available directly through Zoll Medical Corporation, which has been verified as a sole source provider.
