DATE: November 5, 2024
TO: Kent Cagle, City Manager
FROM: Kate McDaniel, Executive Director of Human Resources
SUBJECT: Authorize an agreement with AED123 for installation and maintenance of City-Wide AED medical devices and services
BACKGROUND AND FINDINGS:
The City of Killeen is dedicated to maintaining a safe environment for both citizens and employees by ensuring the availability of essential medical devices in strategic, high-traffic areas. To support this goal, Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) have been placed in various city departments. Approximately three years ago, the City acquired thirteen (13) AEDs; however, no funds were allocated at the time for the replenishment of expired supplies or for ongoing maintenance. Funding was approved in the FY 2025 budget to fund the maintenance and purchase additional devices. The proposed agreement addresses those needs by ensuring proper support for the current and future life-saving devices, and also includes the purchase of eleven (11) additional AEDs to further enhance coverage across the city. The City received quotes from three (3) different vendors for consideration.
THE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:

Which alternative is recommended? Why?
