Rowan County released a request for information (RFI) for cardiac monitors with responses received on November 16, 2021. Three companies, Code Blue Resources, Stryker and Zoll Medical Corporation, then came on site 3 days and provided demonstrations of their products. The equipment was available for emergency services’ staff from November 17th until December 15th. An evaluation committee of emergency services’ staff decided to go with Zoll devices. These devices are being purchased from North Carolina State Contract 465B as NCGS 143-129(e)(9) allows. EMS wishes to purchase 149 AEDs and 25 cardiac monitors totaling $1,301,880. Rowan County will be providing 140 AEDs to the volunteer fire stations throughout Rowan County.
Attached are the quotes from Zoll and the State Contract documentation.
The Emergency Services and Purchasing Director recommend that the Board of Commissioners authorize the purchase of AEDs and cardiac monitors from Zoll Medical Corporation for a total cost not to exceed $1,301,880.
