Architectural Design Services for Renovations and Minor Vertical Construction

Suffolk County, through the Office of Central Procurement and on behalf of the Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Services, is seeking qualified entities to provide comprehensive emergency medical training services via RFQ 2025-22. The procurement seeks contractors to deliver emergency medical instruction, education, course coordination, curriculum and material development, and course/instructor auditing. Qualified responders must hold certifications from the New York State Department of Health Bureau of Emergency Medical Services and meet specific role-based qualifications. The contract period spans January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2028, with technical questions accepted until October 8, 2025, and responses being received from September 7, 2025 through November 10, 2025. Evaluation will focus on the ability to provide quality services and strict compliance with county legislative requirements, with compensation structured through hourly rates ranging from $13 to $49 depending on instructor roles such as Certified Instructor Coordinator ($45/hour), Certified Lab Instructor ($28/hour), and Practical Skills Assistant ($13/hour).

The solicitation appears open to multiple contractors, with the county reserving the right to award contracts to several qualified responders. Contractors must complete extensive compliance documentation, including Public Disclosure Statements, Lawful Hiring of Employees certifications, Union Organizing Certifications, and Living Wage Certifications. Specific financial thresholds are triggered for contracts over $50,000, requiring additional reporting and compliance obligations. Contractors must commit to paying wages of at least $17.21 per hour with health benefits (or $17.36 without), permit workplace audits, and maintain comprehensive payroll records. While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the county emphasizes ethical business conduct, fair labor practices, and transparent contractor selection. The procurement does not indicate an exact total contract value, but the multi-year duration and hourly rate structure suggest a potentially significant investment in emergency medical training services for Suffolk County.
