Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: The Health Department is requesting acceptance of:
1) #8335 Crane air purifiers, 4 speeds. Effective for rooms up to 250 sq. ft. (quantity - 200) and 2) #8179, Crane- Air Purifier Replacement Filters, 1 each; for use with #8335 Air Purifier (quantity - 400) which would be donated by Optum® Personal Care Benefits.
These items, valued at $37,000, would be given to clients in the Health Department's Asthma Home visiting and Air Quality programs free of charge. Air purifiers remove small particles in the air which can worsen asthma and other respiratory symptoms. The use of these appliances can help those with asthma and other respiratory diseases breathe better. Filters need to be replaced at regular intervals for the units to work properly.
The Health Department would be responsible for one charge in this transaction: shipping costs at $648.
