At any time during the evaluation process, the City reserves the right to request clarifications or additional information from any or all Proposers regarding their proposals. B.

The City may reject any proposal in which a Proposer's approach, qualifications, or price is not considered acceptable by the City. An unacceptable proposal is one that would have to be substantially rewritten to make it acceptable. The City may conclude the evaluation process at this point and recommend award to the lowest responsible bidder.

The objective of CFSTES is to provide a single statewide focus for fire service trail -ling in California. CFSTES has become synonymous with CERTIFICATION. The term "certification" is used to recognize an individual for having met approved professional standards by meeting certification prerequisites, experience requirements, completing a specific accredited course of study, and passing appropriate certification examinations. The Fire Service Training Education Program, or FSTEP, is designed to provide both volunteer and career fire fighters with hands-on training in fire frglhting, extrication, rescue, emergency vehicle operations, pump operations, and the Incident Command System. Upon successful completion of a course, the instructor will issue a California State Fire Marshal's certificate of completion to the student. FSTEP is also the term used for the training programs available from State Fire Training (SFT) that do not lead toward certification. In addition to the traditional FSTEP courses, the Incident Command System, Confined Space Rescue, Emergency Care of the Sick and Injured and other Fire Service Specialty classes included under the FSTEP umbrella. These courses vary in length, ranging from self -study programs for some of the ICS courses to 40 hours for Confined Space Rescue Operations training. Instructor guides and student manuals The CFSTES guidelines cover all of the current sworn and non -sworn positions through the Fire Apparatus Driver / Operator, Firefighter, Fire Officer, Fire Marshal, Public Education Officer, and Fire Service Specialties Series. Firefighter Paramedic has the additional certification of Paramedic and is governed by the standards set by Orange County Emergency Medical Services (OCEMS).
