This is a bid response document submitted to the City of Tampa, Florida for Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) and related accessories. The City of Tampa currently maintains over 190 Cardiac Science Powerheart G5 AEDs throughout various city-owned buildings to ensure employee and public access to defibrillation equipment in the event of sudden cardiac arrest. Risk Management division oversees maintenance and updating of these units. The bid response specifies quantities for multiple line items including 100 adult AED pads, 50 Powerheart G5 batteries, 20 complete Powerheart G5 AED units with iCPR fully automatic dual language capability, 20 AED/CPR response kits, 10 AED surface mount wall cabinets, and 10 V-shape wall mount AED signs. Each AED unit includes a carry sleeve, 4-year battery, one set of adult pads, data cable, user guide, AED inspection tag, on-site window static sticker, and an 8-year warranty.

The City of Tampa has established this procurement to maintain standardization with a single make and model of AED, allowing Risk Management to efficiently manage inventory of batteries and pads while ensuring all units remain current and fully operational. The contract specification explicitly indicates no substitutions are permitted, requiring bidders to provide Cardiac Science equipment exclusively. This approach consolidates maintenance procedures, reduces inventory complexity, and ensures consistent training and operational knowledge across all city facilities utilizing defibrillation equipment.
