Child Passenger Safety Program

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) is seeking a contractor to develop and administer the Child Passenger Safety (CPS) Program through a Request for Proposal (RFP) 510030, with proposals due by July 12, 2017. The primary focus of this procurement is to implement comprehensive safety initiatives targeting children under 15 years old, addressing traffic fatalities, injuries, equipment usage, and law adherence on Wisconsin roadways. Key deliverables include developing educational programs, creating networking opportunities, and executing safety initiatives that promote child passenger safety. The contractor will be responsible for program development, administration, and implementing a comprehensive training schedule as outlined in the 2017 Training Schedule document. The RFP requires potential bidders to submit a detailed proposal that includes both technical capabilities and a cost proposal, with evaluation likely based on the contractor's ability to effectively design and implement child passenger safety education and initiatives. Supporting documentation, such as the 2017 Training Schedule and Cost Proposal spreadsheet, provides additional context for the program's expected scope and operational requirements.

While the provided documentation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, the RFP appears to be a standard competitive procurement open to qualified vendors capable of executing the Child Passenger Safety Program. The Cost Proposal spreadsheet (510030 Cost Proposal.xlsx) suggests that potential contractors will need to provide detailed budget information, indicating that financial capability and cost-effectiveness will be important evaluation criteria. Although specific budget ranges are not definitively stated, the comprehensive nature of the program implies a substantial contract value to support statewide child passenger safety education and initiatives. The standard WisDOT contract template (WisDOT Std template 08-12) provides the foundational contractual framework, which suggests the state will require comprehensive compliance with procurement regulations and program performance standards. Interested contractors should carefully review all documentation, including the RFP and Addendum 1, to ensure full understanding of the program requirements and submission expectations.
