TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: December 11, 2019
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE CITY MANAGER AND WAIVING, BY 5/7TH VOTE, THE FORMAL
COMPETITIVE BIDDING REQUIREMENT,AS PERMITTED IN SECTION 2-

UTILIZED BY THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ADVANCED LIFE SUPPORT
RESPONSE UNITS; AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO EXECUTE THE FINAL NEGOTIATED AGREEMENT.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the fact that all other existing Fire Department monitoring equipment, including those used
by Rescue Division and Ocean Rescue Division, are Stryker products, the purchase of the five (5)
LifePakl5 defibrillator products from Stryker will serve to standardize the departmental monitoring
equipment and eliminating the need for multiple service, supply and repair contracts. Based upon
the foregoing, The City Manager recommends that the Mayor and City Commission waive the formal
competitive bidding requirement, by a 5/7ths vote, as permitted under Section 2-367(e) of the City
Code, as being in the best interest of the City.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach Fire Department currently utilizes the Physio-Control LIFEPAK® 15
Defibrillator/Monitor for cardiac monitoring, defibrillation, cardioversion, external cardiac pacing, and
other Advanced Life Support functions. The Fire Department previously procured LifePak items
from Physio-Control pursuant to NASPO Master Agreement: State of Oklahoma Contract SW300
#0K-SW-300 ("the NASPO piggyback"). Stryker Sales Corporation ("Stryker") acquired Physio-
Control in April 2016, subsequently requiring that all purchase orders be issued to Stryker as of July
30, 2019. While Stryker provided documentation that all valid Physio-Control contract pricing would
be honored, the City of Miami Beach cannot issue purchase orders to vendors not stipulated in
piggyback contracts.

The Miami Beach Fire Rescue Department continually uses advanced technologies to provide
cutting edge medical treatment to the citizens and visitors of the City of Miami Beach. This is
especially true concerning the technology used in advanced cardiac diagnosis and treatment. The
state of the art LifePakl5 monitor-defibrillator provides this needed technology for continuous, non-
invasive monitoring of carbon monoxide and oxygen saturation. In addition, treatment of life-
threatening heart attacks is enhanced by automatic, continuous monitoring of all 12 cardiac leads in
the background and immediately alerting the paramedics to changes via the ST-segment trending
feature. More importantly, this technology has replaced outmoded LifePakl2 technology which
Stryker no longer services as they have been "phased out" of production. The Fire Department
presently uses the LifePakl5s on majority of the rescue units and all personnel are competent in its
usage. These features integrated within the device strongly benefit the Rescue Division and, by
extension, the critically ill patients being treated for cardiac insufficiency by saving precious time and
space and by freeing personnel to perform other critical tasks. All of these features, including the
ability to internally archive up to two hundred (200) waveform cardiac events for later retrieval for
Quality Assurance/Quality Control purposes are exclusive features of the Stryker product. The fact
that all other existing Fire Department monitoring equipment, including Rescue Division and Ocean
Rescue Division Automatic External Defibrillators (AED's) are Physio-Control products is another
important factor. This provides compatibility and eliminates the need for multiple service, supply, and
repair contracts. Stryker is the only Monitor/Defibrillator manufacturer that offers service and repairs
in the field by in-house authorized Stryker Control technicians.
Stryker, is the only source from which to obtain the LIFEPAK®defibrillator/monitor family of products,
including specifically, accessories (including batteries and electrodes), repair parts & upgrades,
remanufactured devices, and services in Florida. Stryker does not utilize the services of any
authorized dealers or distributors in the sale of its products in this market. Funding is available in the
amount of$153,248.00 from the Operating Expenditures Account.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached resolution
approving and authorizing the issuance of a Purchase Order to Stryker as the sole source provider of
the Lifepak 15 Defibrillator/Monitor in the amount of$153,248.00.
Further, Stryker is allowing MBFD to take possession of all five (5) allowing CMB to pay for them
over a three-year period. Year one would cost $30,649.60. Year two (2) would cost $61,299.20 and
year three (3)would cost the same$61,299.20 with zero percent interest.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All five (5) LifePakl5 models will be received during FY 2019; however, these units will be paid,
interest free, in the following amounts and during the following fiscal years: adopted FY 2020
($30,649.60), FY 2021 ($61,299.00), and FY 2022 ($61,299.00).
Account(s) 011-1220- Amount(s) FY 2020: $30,649.60 FY 2021: $61,299.00
