Procurement Information
An RFQ for BBP, CPR, AED and Basic First Aid training was issued on March 4, 2019, with a deadline of March 25, 2019, to submit responses. In addition to the solicitation post on the City of Phoenix website, direct email notification was sent to vendors who submitted in the past, vendors who stated their interest, and vendors who requested information from the Human Resources Department.
Nine proposals were received and found to be responsive, and therefore submitted to the RFQu selection committee (two employees from Human Resources, one representative of LIUNA 777, and one representative of AFSCME 2960) for evaluation and selection.

Proposals were scored based on the following criteria: qualifications and experience; other qualifications; and pricing.
After considerable discussion, the Committee selected ETC Compliance Solutions for the following reasons: ability to meet the scope of work; training staff experience; and training staff qualifications. Based on the information provided above and the recommendation of the selection committee, staff is recommending approval to enter into contract negotiations with ETC Compliance Solutions.
