The City of Pasadena Public Health Department is seeking proposals for a Quality Improvement (QI) Training program to be implemented during summer and fall of 2023, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The procurement targets a qualified vendor to develop and deliver two progressive training levels: a foundational 4-5 hour introductory Lean Training session (equivalent to yellow-belt) for 45-50 participants, and an intermediate 4-5 hour training (equivalent to green-belt) for 5-15 staff members. The training program must focus on public health and health equity perspectives, utilizing examples from core public health functions such as disease investigation, surveillance, vital records, emergency preparedness, and policy development. Proposals are due by 3:00 pm on August 31, 2023, and must be submitted electronically through the City's eProcurement Portal. The evaluation will be based on a weighted scoring system: qualifications (15%), conceptual approach (15%), evidence of tailoring to public health (5%), proposed solution (25%), proposed schedule (5%), and cost (30%). Vendors must demonstrate capability to provide flexible training delivery options including virtual, hybrid, or in-person formats, with potential for a one-year contract and two optional one-year extensions.

Respondents must be registered to do business with the City of Pasadena and provide a Certificate of Insurance upon selection. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. Subcontracting is prohibited without express written consent from the Department. The RFP requires comprehensive documentation including company description, staff assignments, project manager identification, staff resumes, evidence of previous similar training capabilities, a detailed scope of work with timelines, and a proposed budget. While a specific award value is not explicitly stated, the RFP indicates the training program will support quality improvement projects running from June 2023 to January 2024. Vendors must complete several mandatory forms including a Unique Entity ID, Conflict of Interest Disclosure, Disqualification Disclosure, and Taxpayer Protection Amendment Disclosure. The selected vendor will be responsible for developing an innovative training program that equips personnel with fundamental and intermediate-level skills specifically tailored to public health department needs.
