Emergency Vehicle Operations Coordinator

The Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission (WSCJTC) is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for an Emergency Vehicle Operations (EVOC) Coordinator for the Basic Law Enforcement Officer Academy. The procurement seeks a skilled individual to provide full-time temporary services for EVOC Course Instruction, specifically to coordinate and deliver Basic Emergency Vehicle Operations instruction and testing for Basic Law Enforcement Academy classes. The successful contractor will be responsible for conducting EVOC training at various locations throughout the state, with training durations ranging from 1 to 14 days, and must be willing to work non-standard hours while following specific lesson plans, training, and testing protocols. The RFQ was posted on April 10, 2025, with qualifications due by May 16, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST. The initial contract term is one year from the date of execution, with optional four one-year extensions at WSCJTC's discretion. Evaluation will be based on qualifications, references, and potential state procurement priorities, with a total possible score of 150 points. Key evaluation criteria include the contractor's ability to deliver comprehensive EVOC instruction and adhere to specific training methodologies.

The WSCJTC will prioritize awarding the contract to a Washington Small Business or Certified Veteran-owned Business, unless no responsive and responsible bid is received from such businesses. The contract has a maximum amount of $100,000 per year, with an hourly rate of $75 for instruction and program support activities. Travel expenses will be reimbursed according to the current Washington State Office of Financial Management per diem rate table, including mileage for in-person training over 60 miles from the contractor's home residence. The RFQ is specifically for a direct consultant proposal and is not open for subcontracting. Additional points will be awarded to bidders who are Washington Small Businesses or Certified Veteran-owned Businesses, providing them a competitive advantage in the evaluation process. The procurement covers multiple jurisdictions across Washington State, including but not limited to counties such as Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, as well as various cities and census-designated places within these counties.
