County Manager's Recommendation
The County Manager recommends that Council approve this Contract for General Services as requested.
Body
Emergency medical services (EMS) are a critical component of the Los Alamos Fire Department's overall operations. Over the past five years, EMS responses have consistently represented the majority of the department's call volume. To support this essential service and ensure continued operational readiness, uninterrupted access to reliable, high-quality medical supplies is vital. The proposed seven-year contract with Life-Assist, procured through NPPGov cooperative purchasing, will provide full access to their product catalog at discounted pricing, supporting the department's commitment to delivering high-quality pre-hospital care.
Alternatives
Council could not approve this contract and request staff explore other procurement options, which may result in delay or disruptions on maintaining supplies.
Fiscal and Staff Impact/Planned Item
There is minimal fiscal and staff impact for this item since the funds are planned and budgeted for annually.
