Ocean City Saves Thousands Using TargetSolutions toDeliver and Record Mandatory Firefighter TrainingOcean City Fire Department in Maryland

responds to nearly 6,000 calls peryear. Most of these calls come during thebusy summer months when this popular va-cation destination is bustling with tourists.

To ensure that its firefighters were pre-pared to handle any type of call, Ocean Cityroutinely delivered instructor-led refreshertraining. This meant that firefighters werespending more time in the classroom andless time practicing what they had learned.It also meant that the Department had topay overtime for some of these refresherhours — at a cost of nearly $8,000 a year.

Ocean City also lacked an integratedrecords management system and was, in-stead, maintaining Department trainingrecords in a three-ring binder. This made itdifficult to quickly locate information andupdate employee transcripts.

An Online AlternativeAfter evaluating another online system,Ocean City selected TargetSolutions train-ing and compliance management platform.Using TargetSolutions, the Department cannow conveniently and cost-effectively pro-vide instruction to its firefighters. It canalso maintain all of its training records —including instructor-led training — in the

system and produce reports wheneverneeded.

Since implementing the program, OceanCity has taken advantage of TargetSolu-tions Activities Builder and File Center toassign, track and record the completion ofits own training as well as validate its em-ployees’ review of organizational policies.

“TargetSolutions saves us the time of hav-ing to manually verify that our firefightershave done what they say they’ve done,” ex-plained Eric Peterson, Ocean City’s TrainingOfficer.

The Savings and Benefits Add UpWhile using TargetSolutions for less than ayear, the Department has already realized acost savings of approximately $25,000.This comes not a moment too soon, as thecity recently instituted a hiring freeze, alongwith other budget cuts. Centralizing and au-tomating the Department’s training records

has also yielded substantial time savings —protecting the safety of each firefighter byguaranteeing their skills and refreshertraining is up to date.

With a new, online training model, OceanCity has successfully reduced the amountof time firefighters spend in the classroom,leaving more time for them to do hands-on,

practical training. As a result, they are evenbetter prepared to respond to calls.

What’s NextOcean City will soon add approximately 60of its volunteer firefighters to the TargetSo-lutions program. The Department will alsostart using TargetSolutions’ custom testsapplication as part of the annual recertifi-cation testing process required for manypositions. With this application, Ocean Citycan create its own online exams, assignthem to firefighters, and document andrecord the results.

TargetSolutions is convenient, cost effective andeasy to use. With it, we have decreased our trainingexpenses and improved our ability to track all typesof instruction.”

San José Fire Department Realizes Six-Figure SavingsUsing TargetSolutions’ Training Management SystemServing the third largest city in California,

San José Fire Department employsmore than 850 people at 34 stations. Likeall departments, San José needs to provideits personnel with mandatory training, how-ever that need was growing increasinglymore difficult for the large metro agency.

Achieving 100 percent compliance on re-quired curriculum and maintaining accu-rate training records was extremelychallenging for San Jose. The department’sold fashioned method of completing train-ing records by updating and storing 50binders of sign-in sheets had become inef-ficient and outdated.

San José decided to modernize its trainingmanagement process in September of2008 with TargetSolutions based on thecompany’s superior customer service andproven track record. The department’s goalwas to move as much of the informativeportion of training as possible to an onlineplatform, reserving out-of-service time formanipulative skills training.

San José wanted a more efficient way forkeeping up with the county’s directiveswhile also keeping emergency respondersin the field. TargetSolutions’ powerful appli-cations, including Activities Builder andTest Builder, helped the department reachthose goals by delivering training and safetyalerts to personnel so they could maintain

compliance with county, state and nationalrequirements. In addition, San José bene-fited by utilizing the platform’s other train-ing tools, including:

n Manage Credentials: A compliance appli-cation that helps departments like SanJosé ensure employees are up-to-date withcertifications and renewals.

n Community Resources: Gives depart-ments like San José the ability to utilizefiles, including departmental best practicesand training documents, shared by otherTargetSolutions clients.

n Advanced Reporting: Submits and tracksmonthly California Fire Fighter Joint Appren-ticeship Committee (JAC) forms.

In its very first quarter using TargetSolu-

tions, San José completed nine courses,provided five safety alerts and createdmore than eight custom assignments.When it was all said and done, San José es-timated its savings at $125,000 by usingTargetSolutions.

About TargetSolutionsTargetSolutions is the leading provider ofweb-based technology solutions for publicentities, with a focus on fire and EMS de-partments. These solutions enable depart-ments to maintain compliance, reducelosses, deliver curriculum and track all sta-tion-level tasks, certifications and trainingactivities.

‘‘ Prior to implementing TargetSolutions, we couldnever get 100 percent participation in training,since firefighters would miss sessions due to illness or disability. Now, we can easily identify who has not completed the training and develop an individualized program that delivers the required training to everyone on the line.”

l 24/7 staffed securityl Multiple stage biometric doorways to facilityl Locked cage and isolated cabinetl No local console devices

n Expandability

III. Security and Redundancy DetailsTargetSolutions owns and maintains all of the equipment for which we deliver our web-based platform in orderto have more control over the server hardware and software environment. We minimally deploy dual servers forboth the web/application server and for the database servers to provide redundancy and future usage in-creases. We also have a second, fully redundant system running in an alternate location that can be utilized inthe rare case of a catastrophic disaster at our primary location. We audit our systems for performance issuesand upgrade as needed. All equipment at the datacenter resides behind redundant Cisco Enterprise grade fire-walls. These devices prevent against unauthorized network access to all equipment and require multiple levelsof authentication in order to reach protected areas.

Our platform runs on Sun Microsystems servers running Solaris UNIX. The database servers are running Ora-cle. Utilizing top-tier enterprise products such as these allows us to stay ahead of the curve technologicallywhile still maintaining stability in a production environment. These vendors keep up with intrusion manage-ment and security, and we keep our servers up to date in order to maintain effective countermeasures. Our ap-plication servers have SSL certificates provided by VeriSign. This gives our clients the option to connect to ourservice through a secure SSL connection.

The database and operating system is secured through multiple tiers of RSA/DSA cryptographic authentica-tion. Within the database’s design, all users and sites are authenticated with their own sets of usernames andpasswords. These users are tracked with detail in order to identify suspicious activity as well as determine pat-terns of usage. TargetSolutions personnel are provided administrative application accounts with unique cre-dentials in order to track administrative activities.

If there are any other questions or concerns regarding the TargetSolutions platform, please contact Alex Day,director of technology, at (858) 376-1623, or via e-mail at [email protected].

OKLAHOMA OPEN RECORDS ACT AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

All materials submitted to The City of Oklahoma City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal potentially become subject to the mandates of the Oklahoma Open Records Act, 51 Okla. Stat. §§ 

24A.1. et seq.  The purpose of this Act is to ensure and facilitate the public’s right of access to and review of government records so they may efficiently and intelligently exercise their inherent political power.  

Almost all “records,” as that term is defined in the Act, may be disclosed to the public upon request.  Except where specific state or federal statutes create a specific and express exemption or confidential privilege, persons who submit information to public bodies have no right to keep this information from public access nor have a reasonable expectation that this information will be kept from public access.

If you believe that any of the information you have submitted to The City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal is exempt or confidential under a specific state or federal statute, and therefore not subject to public access under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, you must comply with the following:

1. Place said documents/records in a separate electronic file attachment marked “Confidential”.  DO NOT label your entire Bid or Proposal as “Confidential” – label only those portions of the Bid or Proposal that you feel are exempt or are made confidential by state or federal law as “Confidential” .

2. For each such document for which you are claiming an exemption or a confidential privilege, identify the federal and/or state law that creates said privilege, e.g., for trade secrets, see 21 O.S. § 1732 (Larceny of Trade Secrets) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, 78 O.S. §§ 85, et seq.. 

Should an Open Records request be presented to The City or its Trusts requesting information you have identified as “Confidential,” you will be responsible for defending your position in the District Court, if needed.

If you fail to identify any records submitted as part of your Bid or Proposal as “Confidential”, you are agreeing that said records are not exempt or confidential and are subject to public access.

Upon receipt of a request by a third party to review or copy records properly identified as “Confidential,” you will be notified of the request and thereby given an opportunity to immediately enforce and protect your rights by initiating an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Should you fail to timely bring an 

action to enforce your rights, then the requested records will be released by The City or its Trust based upon its determination of the application of the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

OKLAHOMA OPEN RECORDS ACT AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

All materials submitted to The City of Oklahoma City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal potentially become subject to the mandates of the Oklahoma Open Records Act, 51 Okla. Stat. §§ 

24A.1. et seq.  The purpose of this Act is to ensure and facilitate the public’s right of access to and review of government records so they may efficiently and intelligently exercise their inherent political power.  

Almost all “records,” as that term is defined in the Act, may be disclosed to the public upon request.  Except where specific state or federal statutes create a specific and express exemption or confidential privilege, persons who submit information to public bodies have no right to keep this information from public access nor have a reasonable expectation that this information will be kept from public access.

If you believe that any of the information you have submitted to The City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal is exempt or confidential under a specific state or federal statute, and therefore not subject to public access under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, you must comply with the following:

1. Place said documents/records in a separate electronic file attachment marked “Confidential”.  DO NOT label your entire Bid or Proposal as “Confidential” – label only those portions of the Bid or Proposal that you feel are exempt or are made confidential by state or federal law as “Confidential” .

2. For each such document for which you are claiming an exemption or a confidential privilege, identify the federal and/or state law that creates said privilege, e.g., for trade secrets, see 21 O.S. § 1732 (Larceny of Trade Secrets) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, 78 O.S. §§ 85, et seq.. 

Should an Open Records request be presented to The City or its Trusts requesting information you have identified as “Confidential,” you will be responsible for defending your position in the District Court, if needed.

If you fail to identify any records submitted as part of your Bid or Proposal as “Confidential”, you are agreeing that said records are not exempt or confidential and are subject to public access.

Upon receipt of a request by a third party to review or copy records properly identified as “Confidential,” you will be notified of the request and thereby given an opportunity to immediately enforce and protect your rights by initiating an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Should you fail to timely bring an 

action to enforce your rights, then the requested records will be released by The City or its Trust based upon its determination of the application of the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

OKLAHOMA OPEN RECORDS ACT AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

All materials submitted to The City of Oklahoma City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal potentially become subject to the mandates of the Oklahoma Open Records Act, 51 Okla. Stat. §§ 

24A.1. et seq.  The purpose of this Act is to ensure and facilitate the public’s right of access to and review of government records so they may efficiently and intelligently exercise their inherent political power.  

Almost all “records,” as that term is defined in the Act, may be disclosed to the public upon request.  Except where specific state or federal statutes create a specific and express exemption or confidential privilege, persons who submit information to public bodies have no right to keep this information from public access nor have a reasonable expectation that this information will be kept from public access.

If you believe that any of the information you have submitted to The City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal is exempt or confidential under a specific state or federal statute, and therefore not subject to public access under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, you must comply with the following:

1. Place said documents/records in a separate electronic file attachment marked “Confidential”.  DO NOT label your entire Bid or Proposal as “Confidential” – label only those portions of the Bid or Proposal that you feel are exempt or are made confidential by state or federal law as “Confidential” .

2. For each such document for which you are claiming an exemption or a confidential privilege, identify the federal and/or state law that creates said privilege, e.g., for trade secrets, see 21 O.S. § 1732 (Larceny of Trade Secrets) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, 78 O.S. §§ 85, et seq.. 

Should an Open Records request be presented to The City or its Trusts requesting information you have identified as “Confidential,” you will be responsible for defending your position in the District Court, if needed.

If you fail to identify any records submitted as part of your Bid or Proposal as “Confidential”, you are agreeing that said records are not exempt or confidential and are subject to public access.

Upon receipt of a request by a third party to review or copy records properly identified as “Confidential,” you will be notified of the request and thereby given an opportunity to immediately enforce and protect your rights by initiating an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Should you fail to timely bring an 

action to enforce your rights, then the requested records will be released by The City or its Trust based upon its determination of the application of the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

Almost all “records,” as that term is defined in the Act, may be disclosed to the public upon request.  Except where specific state or federal statutes create a specific and express exemption or confidential privilege, persons who submit information to public bodies have no right to keep this information from public access nor have a reasonable expectation that this information will be kept from public access.

If you believe that any of the information you have submitted to The City or its Trusts pursuant to this Bid or Proposal is exempt or confidential under a specific state or federal statute, and therefore not subject to public access under the Oklahoma Open Records Act, you must comply with the following:

1. Place said documents/records in a separate electronic file attachment marked “Confidential”.  DO NOT label your entire Bid or Proposal as “Confidential” – label only those portions of the Bid or Proposal that you feel are exempt or are made confidential by state or federal law as “Confidential” .

2. For each such document for which you are claiming an exemption or a confidential privilege, identify the federal and/or state law that creates said privilege, e.g., for trade secrets, see 21 O.S. § 1732 (Larceny of Trade Secrets) and the Uniform Trade Secrets Act, 78 O.S. §§ 85, et seq.. 

Should an Open Records request be presented to The City or its Trusts requesting information you have identified as “Confidential,” you will be responsible for defending your position in the District Court, if needed.

If you fail to identify any records submitted as part of your Bid or Proposal as “Confidential”, you are agreeing that said records are not exempt or confidential and are subject to public access.

Upon receipt of a request by a third party to review or copy records properly identified as “Confidential,” you will be notified of the request and thereby given an opportunity to immediately enforce and protect your rights by initiating an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.  Should you fail to timely bring an 

action to enforce your rights, then the requested records will be released by The City or its Trust based upon its determination of the application of the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

Question and Answers for Bid #RFP 15503 - Online training and records management software for the Fire Department

OVERALL BID QUESTIONS

Question 1 Of the 987 people who will access this system, how many of these people will create training requirements, how many people will establish the training requirements by individual or Job description, how many people will be involved in the review and approval process and how many people will just need access to and participate in the training without needing access to create, modify, review or approve content in the system? (Submitted: Oct 28, 2014 1:59:02 PM CDT)

Answer- The number of people that will create training requirements, establish the training requirements by individual or Job description, and be involved in the review and approval process will be very similar. It will be a very limited group, probably between 25 people. We have a training section and an EMS section that handles this now, with less than 20 people combined, and then there are a few administratively that will need this same access. All 987 will need access to participate. (Answered: Oct 29, 2014 1:35:24 PM CDT)

Question 2 Approximately, how many courses will be uploaded to the LMS and tracking software system? (Submitted:

Oct 29, 2014 7:20:18 PM CDT)

Answer- It is expected that the course library will grow over time, so initially it would be a relatively limited number of courses, but the hope is that courses will remain with the software for many years, allowing the system to maintain a significant number of courses. Vendors are encouraged to provide their system capacity. (Answered: Oct 30, 2014 9:18:37 AM CDT)

Question 3 What is the date for delivery of the system to the City of Oklahoma City? (Submitted: Oct 29, 2014 7:21:02

PM CDT)

Answer- Vendors may include their estimated delivery time with proposal. (Answered: Oct 30, 2014 9:18:37 AM CDT)

Question 4 Under Support Services, it lists " 7. parts inventory" and "8. ordering parts". Can you clarify what specifically, the system should be be able to do with these two services? Should it just document (ie. what parts are available; which parts have been ordered and by who) or should the system actually house the inventory of parts and have the ability to order the parts. (Submitted: Oct 30, 2014 8:13:28 PM CDT)

Answer- The system shall have the ability to house the inventory of parts. Item 8, ordering parts will be removed and shall not be included. (Answered: Nov 3, 2014 2:36:21 PM CST)

Question 5 In regards to the overall intent of the testing, do you intend for the vendor to house/manage the information about the testing and the subsequent information from the results of the testing or is the intent to administer the physical testing itself†? (Submitted: Nov 6, 2014 12:16:11 PM CST)

Answer- It is the intent for the vendor to house/manage the information about the testing and the subsequent information from the results of the testing and offer testing. Vendors shall propose what their system is capable of. (Answered: Nov 6, 2014 1:13:32 PM CST)

Question 6 Is the vendor expected to create a curriculum for the EMS training ensuring it is compliant with the stated agencies in the RFP or take an existing curriculum which the City already utilizes, and upload/implement to the users with its software solution in electronic format. (Submitted: Nov 7, 2014 11:54:51 AM CST)

Answer- The Fire Department will provide the curriculum for EMS refreshers and Continuing Education hours. (Answered: Nov 7, 2014 2:09:40 PM CST)
