Firefighter Wellness & Injury Prevention Program

Draper City Fire Department is requesting proposals for a comprehensive Firefighter Wellness & Injury Prevention Program, RFP 26-11, with proposals due October 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. The selected provider must hold a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree and current state licensure as a Physical Therapist in Utah — the mandatory credential filter.

The scope encompasses on-site wellness and injury prevention services delivered at all three fire stations. Services include quarterly wellness evaluations and sessions conducted by platoon (approximately 19 personnel per platoon), with individual sessions not exceeding 45 minutes and scheduling prior to 11:00 a.m. when operationally feasible. The program targets improved firefighter mobility, flexibility, functional movement, core strength, and occupational injury reduction.

Preference is given to providers holding Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) certification, Functional Movement Screen (FMS) certification, and demonstrated experience providing similar programs to fire departments, emergency medical services, law enforcement, or military organizations. Proposers must provide minimum three professional references from public safety agencies or comparable organizations and hold Commercial General Liability insurance of at least $2 million per occurrence and Workers' Compensation with statutory limits.

The contract term is one year with four additional one-year renewal options. Project start is anticipated November 1, 2026, with contract negotiations scheduled October 29, 2026, and evaluation completed by October 20, 2026. Questions are due October 6, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. MT. Proposals must include separate technical and cost sections submitted via the Utah Procurement Place (U3P) website and are evaluated on experience and organizational qualifications (20%), assigned team qualifications and experience (20%), proposed approach and methodology (30%), relevant public safety experience and references (20%), and cost proposal (10%).
