A RESOLUTION OF THE LODI CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZING THE
CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
AGREEMENT WITH DEVICES FOR LIFE, LLC, OF ANAHEIM HILLS,
FOR AUTOMATED EXTERNAL DEFIBRILLATION DEVICES AND
COMPLIANCE SERVICES
WHEREAS, sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the United
States. Each year there are approximately 600,000 cardiac arrests assessed by Emergency
Medical Services outside of a hospital setting. On average, less than 10% of those victims
survive; and
WHEREAS, early defibrillation with an automatic external defibrillation (AED) device can
more than double a victim's chance for survival. An AED is the only effective treatment for
restoring a regular heart rhythm during sudden cardiac arrest and is an easy to operate device
for someone with no medical background; and
WHEREAS, the City of Lodi currently owns AED devices and must purchase additional
devices to be in compliance with new legislation that requires AEDs at the City's public
swimming pool operations; and
WHEREAS, staff received written quotes from three AED providers. Only Devices for
Life, LLC, was able to provide competitive AED unit pricing as well as full compliance services,
including onsite training for staff.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Lodi City Council does hereby
authorize the City Manager to execute a Professional Services Agreement with Devices for Life,
LLC, of Anaheim Hills, California, for Automated External Defibrillation Devices and Compliance
Services, for the term of three years, in an amount not to exceed $27,000.
