The Boswell Regional Center is seeking to purchase Crisis Prevention Institute (CPI) training materials, including Verbal Intervention Training workbooks, Nonviolent Crisis Intervention (NCI) with Advanced Physical Skills and Trauma Training workbooks, and NCI with Advanced Physical Skills Workbook 3rd Edition. These materials are required for staff training and certification in crisis prevention, verbal deescalation, and safe physical intervention techniques. The center has determined that CPI is the only approved training program that meets their regulatory and operational requirements. The estimated cost of the workbooks is $32.99 to $33.99 each. • The training materials are required for certification and contain proprietary content. • The cost is considered reasonable and appropriate given the industry standards for specialized training materials. • The center is seeking to purchase the materials directly from Crisis Prevention Institute, as they are the sole authorized source.
