McKinney Fire Department Medical Direction

The City of McKinney is issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to procure comprehensive Medical Direction services for the McKinney Fire Department through a professional services contract. The procurement seeks qualified physicians or medical groups capable of providing emergency medical services (EMS) oversight for a fire department operating ten stations with approximately 248 certified firefighters, EMTs, and paramedics responding to roughly 22,000 calls annually, including nearly 15,000 medical incidents per year. Required deliverables and services include clinical oversight, protocol development and maintenance, quality assurance and improvement initiatives, continuing education and training support, and medical consultation services. Respondents must submit qualifications limited to twenty pages, an authorized response letter, and at least three professional references from public-sector agencies electronically via the City's Bonfire procurement portal or by mail/hand delivery no later than 2:00 p.m. CST on March 26, 2026. The deadline for interpretation inquiries is 2:00 p.m. CST on March 12, 2026, and no bidder's conference or site visit is specified. The selection committee will evaluate respondents based on demonstrated competence and qualifications without consideration of cost factors, with pricing to be solicited separately from qualified firms following selection. The successful respondent will be awarded a single professional services contract for a five-year term.

No set-asides or restrictions based on disadvantaged enterprise status are specified in this procurement opportunity. The RFQ does not identify any incumbent vendor or current contractor information. Prior to commencing work, the successful respondent must obtain and maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, workers' compensation with Texas statutory limits, business automobile liability with a combined single limit of $1,000,000, and professional liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate. No award value or budget range is disclosed in the solicitation materials, as pricing proposals are not required at this stage and will be requested separately from qualified respondents. The City reserves the right to reject any submissions, terminate the selection process at any time, and make direct selections from written submissions due to time sensitivity. All costs associated with proposal preparation are the responsibility of the respondent, and all submissions become the property of the City.
