IFB 10221537 Wilderness Training

The California Department of Water Resources is seeking a qualified contractor to provide three‑year wilderness first‑aid, stream safety, and river safety certification training throughout the state. The contractor must deliver 1‑, 2‑, and 3‑day courses for up to 36 students per class, supply all training materials, and issue completion certificates. Instructors must hold appropriate wilderness and (formerly required) river‑rescue certifications, but recent addenda have removed the river‑rescue certification requirement, broadening eligibility. The contract is performance‑based, with payment tied to per‑student rates supplied on the bid sheet; no guaranteed minimum volume is indicated. • Training courses: Wilderness First Aid (1‑, 2‑, 3‑day) and River/Stream Safety (1‑, 2‑, 3‑day). • Instructor qualifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR/AED instructor, and related certifications; river‑rescue certification no longer mandatory. • Delivery: On‑site or off‑site anywhere in California, up to ~30 classes over three years. • Administrative requirements: Provide rosters, issue certificates within 5 business days, submit detailed per‑student pricing, and comply with various socio‑economic and insurance clauses.
