Workplace Violence Prevention Program Services

The City of Pasadena's Risk Management Division is seeking proposals from licensed psychologists to support its Workplace Violence Prevention Program through a comprehensive suite of services grounded in evidence-based and data-driven behavioral threat assessment and management. The selected contractor will be responsible for annually reviewing and recommending enhancements to the City's Workplace Violence Prevention Plan, conducting two to four in-person workplace violence training sessions per year along with providing written training materials, and offering specialized expertise to investigate and assess incidents of potential workplace violence as they arise. Additionally, the contractor will provide critical incident debriefings and implement on-site interventions and resolutions for problematic behaviors on an as-needed basis. The solicitation invites qualified professionals to engage with the City’s efforts to maintain a safe work environment through proactive planning, training, and responsive behavioral management. The contracting process includes strict adherence to various compliance and certification requirements, including non-collusion declarations, conflict of interest disclosures, and federal lobbying certifications. The respondents must provide proof of proper licensing and demonstrate relevant experience through documented projects similar in scope. The contract engagement will follow the City’s established service terms, including prevailing wage and public works regulations where applicable. Key administrative and contact points for the solicitation are housed within the City Manager’s Office in Pasadena, California, with proposals due by April 1, 2026. The program aims to integrate expert psychological services with municipal risk management efforts to enhance safety protocols, build organizational resilience, and effectively manage workplace violence threats in alignment with best practices.
