Consideration and possible action to approve the purchase of Stryker Power Load System from Stryker Corporation for a total cost not to exceed $61,974.28 -- John Sullivan, Fire Chief

The Fire Department is ordering two new TRVs from Frazer, LTD. This purchase is for the Stryker power load systems (2), which Frazer installs in the floor of both units. Attached are photos of the power load system.   

The power load system helps boost safety by supporting the stretcher throughout the loading and unloading process. This reduces the spinal load on our firefighter/paramedics and helps prevent cumulative trauma injuries.

All our TRVs currently use Stryker equipment. Staff recommends purchasing this system to ensure we maintain a high level of continuity and protection for patients and firefighter paramedics.  

Funding is allocated in 2021 budget.
