AEDs

The City of Hollywood is seeking to procure Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) for its lifeguard stands. The AEDs will be used to provide immediate medical attention in case of cardiac emergencies. The city has identified Avive Solutions, Inc. as the sole source provider for this procurement, due to their proprietary technology and exclusive ownership of the Avive Connect AED. The procurement includes 22 AEDs with 8 years of REALConnect services, and the total cost is estimated to be $60,500. * The AEDs will be used by trained lifeguards and first responders to provide medical attention in emergency situations. * The Avive Connect AED has a fully integrated battery that does not require replacement during its usable life. * The AED has a connected status alert system and supports daily reporting on AED fleet readiness to the cloud via cellular network. * The city is seeking to ensure rapid access to defibrillation in an environment where emergency medical services may have delayed response times. * The procurement is exempt from competitive bid requirements due to the sole source justification.
