Ladies and Gentlemen: The Oklahoma Emergency Response System Stabilization and Improvement Revolving Fund for fiscal year 2014 is about to begin. The Department plans on releasing the Request for Proposals during the week of April 8.
The announcement will be made on our website: http://www.ok.gov/health/Protective_Health/Emergency_Systems/EMS_Division/index.html
The Department will be distributing: $2,307,309.30 This is a large increase from last year's dispersal, thanks to an increase in collections into the fund. At this time, we are scheduling the pre-proposal conference for April 15, 2013. We will be meeting in room 806 of the Department. There is a procedural change as well as a change to the application this year.
The procedure for application this year is this: 1.Submit RFP before Deadline 2.Procurement Review for contractual requirements 3.Emergency Systems review for proposal content 4.Panel Review. If an RFP does not contain the required information, then it will not be sent to the panel for review. The information required will be detailed in the PowerPoint on the website as well as described at the pre-proposal conference. The application has been modified to show what is expected to be received. Additionally, the benchmark section of the application has been modified. Examples of benchmarks have been included. These are examples only.
Any questions we receive after the RFP is released will be answered on our website. Direct answers will not be able to be provided due to state contractual regulations and statutes.
