BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: December 2, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Zan Fedorak
SUBJECT: Approval of Quote for Stryker Stretcher (R1500214)
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: All
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: [PUR] Seeking approval of quote for Stryker Stretcher (R1500214).
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS: Public Safety entered a requisition to purchase four (4)
Stryker ambulance stretchers intended to replace aging inventory. Purchasing staff has received
quotes for the stretchers. Stryker provided the lowest quote at $51,828.96 ($12,957.24 ea.).
Purchasing policy requires that all purchases above $50,000 be purchased through a bid process.
However, the policy also states that the Board may approve purchases over $50,000 without
formal bids where it is deemed to be most advantageous to the County. Staff chose to use the
quote process for these items to avoid advertisement costs as well as expedite the purchase for
Public Safety. Staff requests Board approval of the lowest quote in lieu of bids for the purchase
of four (4) stretchers from Stryker for $51,828.96. Staff will process the requisition for a
purchase order if/when the Board approves the purchase. The stretchers were a budgeted item
with total funding at $52,400.
OPTIONS: Approve/Deny approval of the lowest quote in lieu of bids for the purchase of four
(4) stretchers from Stryker for $51,828.96.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the lowest quote in lieu of bids for the
purchase of four (4) stretchers from Stryker for $51,828.96.
