IN RE: REALLOCATION OF MOBILE FLUOROSCOPE FUNDS WITHIN THE MEDICAL EXAMINERS OFFICE
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr, Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, in March 1978, Miscellaneous Resolution 8340 authorized the
Medical Examiners Office to purchase a used mobile fluoroscope to replace
the portable x-ray unit in service at the morgue; and
WHEREAS, such resolution provided for transfer of S23,240 from the
contingent fund to the capital outlay line item within the Medical Examiner's
budget; and
WHEREAS, an extensive equipment survey and test program on the used
equipment proposed for purchase identified a potential expensive failure of
that equipment resulting in the decision not to purchase it; and
WHEREAS, the cost of a new mobile fluoroscope exceeds $45,000
resulting in an unacceptably long payback period; and
WHEREAS, the present mobile x-ray unit could be upgraded to make it
more functional for about $8,000; and
WHEREAS, the remaining $15,240 could be utilized very effectively to
purchase four needed items of capital equipment (Schedule I, attached) for
the Medical Examiner's toxicology laboratory.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the 23,240 authorized for the Medical
Examiners Office, by Miscellaneous Resolution 8340, be utilized for mobile
x-ray upgrading (approximately $8,000) and toxicology laboratory capital
equipmet(approximately $15,240).
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that standard competitive bidding practices be followed
and that a report be made back to this Committee.
The Health and Human Resources Committee by John H. Peterson, Chairperson,
moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
