Link to Calendar > Council, Committee and Board Research Center 
ITEM 4-B IS A CONTRACT.
It is only one of 14 contracts on the agenda for the City Council Meeting Mon 17 June 2019. Does it really appear to need some individual attention, more so than some other of the contracts??
File #: 19-0697   
Type: Contract Status: Agenda Ready
In control: City Council
On agenda: 6/17/2019
Title: 14-Month Term Contract for Patient Gurneys for the Mesa Fire and Medical Department (Citywide)
This contract will provide medical transport gurneys manufactured by Ferno for Mesa Fire and Medical Department’s transport program. The Department has determined that the Ferno gurney best meet their long-term needs. As the program expands, the gurneys will see higher usage for a more diverse range of crews, patients, and physical environments. 
 The initial purchase will be for three gurneys (additions) and others may be purchased as needed. The Mesa Fire and Medical Department and Purchasing recommend authorizing the purchase using the National Purchasing Partners cooperative contract with Ferno, at $180,000. 
 This purchase is funded by the Capital - General Fund.
