PURPOSE: To approve the purchase of eight (8) automatic lift hydraulic stretchers that are
grant funded, requiring a 20% local match.
BACKGROUND: Orange County Emergency Services (OCES) applied for a Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Assistance to Firefighters Grant for the purchase of
eight (8) Power Lift Stretchers and associated training. The grant required a 20% match of local
funds. On April 3, 2013, Orange County received notification of an award for $83,235 of federal
grant funding to purchase the Power Lift Stretchers. On May 21, 2013, the BOCC approved
Budget Amendment #10, which appropriated the required 20% match of $20,809 from the FY
2012-2013 operating budget. These funds were encumbered at fiscal year-end for expenditure
in FY 2013-14.
The Power-Pro XT Stretchers have a battery powered hydraulic lift that raises and lowers
patients with the touch of a button. The new equipment will be capable of lifting patients
weighing up to 700 pounds and will have a state of the art handle system that will expand the
width of the stretcher to accommodate these patients. With back injuries as the most common
risk to an EMS worker, any measure to make lifting easier will help accomplish the goal of
reducing injury. This new equipment is expected to help EMS reduce repetitive lift injuries and
worker's compensation claims.
OCES has eight (8) primary ambulances (Excellance is the vendor) equipped with manual MX
Pro Stryker stretchers. The automatic stretchers will replace the manual stretchers on the eight
(8) front line ambulances. The manual stretchers will be sold on GovDeals to off-set the 20%
match.
2
Power Lift Stretchers will be ordered for ambulance additions/replacements to the fleet in
subsequent future years. The remaining manual stretchers will be maintained in reserve
ambulances until they reach the end of service life.
North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-129(e)(3) allows local governments to make
purchases through a competitive bidding group purchasing program, which is a formally
organized program that offers competitively obtained purchasing services at discount prices to
two or more public agencies. The EMS Redline Association Cooperative is a cooperative
purchasing group that meets the requirements of NCGS 143-129(e)(3). The specific contract
number is 6506.
OCES has two (2) outdated and unserviceable stretchers (Ferno is the vendor) and six (6)
"stair-chairs", which are used to move patients safely down stairs. OCES proposes to declare
these stretchers and stair-chairs as surplus, and donate these items to a UNC student
organization called the Association for Carolina Emergency Response and Injury Prevention
(ACERIP). ACERIP provides learning opportunities to UNC students by teaching basic
emergency medical technician (EMT) courses and recently received approval by the North
Carolina Office of EMS as an educational institution. ACERIP is in need of training stretchers
and stair-chairs to teach lifting and moving skills to EMT students.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: The total cost of the equipment upgrade is $101,168.64. The County
designated $20,809 in matching funding for the purchase of the Stryker Power Lift stretcher and
$80,359.64 from the FEMA Assistance to Fire Fighter's Grant (Project #71053). The remaining
$2,875.36 will be utilized for the training of all staff for the safe utilization of the new equipment.
Emergency Services hopes to offset additional training costs with the sale of the serviceable
manual stretchers.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board:
1) Approve the grant funded purchase of the Stryker Power-Pro XT Stretchers;
2) Authorize Asset Management Services to sell eight (8) serviceable MX Pro Stryker
stretchers to offset the 20% local match; and
3) Declare the two (2) stretchers and six (6) stair-chairs as surplus, and authorize
Emergency Services to donate two (2) surplus Ferno stretchers and two (2) stair-chairs to
the ACERIP UNC student organization.
