Boulder County Jail EMT Staffing

The Boulder County Sheriff's Office is soliciting proposals under RFP-317-26 for a qualified ambulance, emergency medical services, or healthcare staffing organization to provide 24/7 Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) staffing for the Boulder County Jail. The selected contractor must maintain continuous coverage of four EMT positions, typically divided into two day shifts and two night shifts. Key responsibilities include medication management, adhering to BCSO security and medical protocols, and ensuring the recruitment and retention of credentialed personnel. To be eligible, proposers must be legally authorized business entities with at least three years of experience in EMT or healthcare staffing and must not have been terminated for cause from a similar contract within the last five years. The evaluation process is based on a weighted scoring matrix, with the highest priority placed on the staffing plan and the ability to maintain 24/7 coverage (25%). Other critical factors include vendor qualifications, personnel recruitment and retention, experience in secure healthcare settings, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and cost. All assigned personnel must meet Colorado licensure requirements, maintain CPR/BLS certification, and complete Qualified Medication Administration Person (QMAP) training and BCSO security clearances. The contract is governed by Colorado law, requires adherence to the Colorado Open Records Act, and mandates that the contractor maintain specific insurance and risk-management standards. Invoices are submitted monthly by the 15th day for the prior month's work, with ACH payments preferred.
