RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with Santa Ana Western Medical
Center for medical supplies and pharmaceutical supplies in an amount not to
exceed $40,000 annually for a one-year term with two, one-year renewal
options.
DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Western Medical Center is the Santa Ana Fire Department's
paramedic units "base hospital". As such, they carry the exact items
required by Orange County Emergency Medical Services for paramedic units.
This allows for the immediate restocking of pharmaceuticals and medical
supplies used when responding to medical emergencies. Santa Ana Western
Medical Center and pharmacy operates 24 hours per day, seven days a week,
and has provided excellent service to the Santa Ana Fire Department for
over twenty years. Continuous evaluation of possible alternatives has not
provided a viable local option. The Santa Ana Fire Department requests a
one-year agreement with two one-year options to renew,
