SUMMARY:
Should City Council authorize the filing of an application for a Colorado EMTS Provider Grant to
purchase four (4) LifePak 15 cardiac monitors and an advanced pediatric manikin?
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Approval of similar grant applications for cardiac monitors in 2012 and 2013.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the Colorado EMTS Provider grant is to provide funding, in the amount of
$132,469.00 directly to the City of Pueblo Fire Department in order to purchase 4 LifePak 15
cardiac monitors and an advanced pediatric manikin. The project will allow the department to
replace an outdated LifePak 12 cardiac monitor, place a LifePak 15 on apparatus which currently
do not have a 12-lead monitor, as well as purchase an advanced pediatric manikin for use in
Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) training. The City of Pueblo will be required to contribute
a fifty percent match in the amount of $66,245.50 from the Public Safety Grant Match Fund.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The total request will be for $132,469.00. The State of Colorado share for the Colorado EMTS
Provider grant is $66,234.50 and the fifty percent City match is $66,243.50. Staff time will be
required for project management, as well as grant monitoring and reporting. The match will be
transferred from the Public Safety Grant Match Fund.
