The county seeks a new equipment system specifically compatible with Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD Cot Fastener System and Stryker Power-Pro XT and Power-Pro 2 powered ambulance cots. Technical specifications require the system to have an overall length of 95 inches, width of 24.5 inches, total weight under 250 lbs, lift capacity of 700 lbs, and loading height between 22 and 36 inches. The system must meet federal Star-of-Life Ambulance and dynamic crash standards, and include a full factory warranty. Key procurement dates include a deadline for written questions on December 30, 2024, with responses to questions on January 6, 2025, and a proposal due date and public bid opening scheduled for January 20, 2025. The county anticipates a project review and potential award on February 3, 2025, pending Board of Commissioners approval.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The procurement is for equipment only, with the county requiring the winning vendor to provide detailed invoicing, potential training, and an opportunity for final inspection before acceptance. As a tax-exempt entity, Emmet County will require the selected vendor to comply with specific invoicing and compatibility requirements. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documentation, the procurement is for a single replacement Ambulance Power Load Cot Fastener System that must be fully compatible with existing Stryker equipment. The county will require the vendor to demonstrate comprehensive technical compatibility, provide a full factory warranty, and ensure the system meets all specified technical and federal standards for ambulance equipment.
