Fire Division: 1. TargetSolutions: The Fire Division is requesting approval to purchase a Training Management System called TargetSolutions. This is a WEB-based training management system that allows individual departments to achieve compliance, track training records and reduce costs while increasing productivity. The Fire Division does not currently have the ability to track mandatory training. The other much needed benefit of this program is that all of this classroom training can be done at each station or location in the City. Currently, when we are conducting classroom training, we have to assemble our engines in a central location, which increases response times. This program will also reduce wear and tear on our apparatus and save on fuel costs. Topics for Fire and EMS training are already embedded within the program with the ability to add content as needed. The other benefit of this program is that it meets the needs of the Human Resources Division for mandatory training of all personnel and supervisors. The City of Idaho Falls will have the ability to easily distribute quality on-line training courses to employees using the comprehensive web-based training catalog features. These on-line training courses include OSHA training, driving safety courses, sexual harassment prevention courses, and much more. Additionally TargetSolutions' records management system enables all the departments to easily track employee training records. When researching the cost and benefits, we discovered that we could use the Public Agency Clause from the bid Boise City used. If the Fire Division were to purchase this alone, the cost per employee would have been $99.00, however, using the cooperative purchasing process, the cost is $24.00 per person if we cover all City employees. The Fire Division has the needed funds within its budget for training to cover the entire City's staff, which is $18,406.00. This includes a start-up fee, license for the Human Resources and Fire Division, and per person costs. With the inclusion of all staff, the Human Resources Division will be able to administer required training to meet our insurance requirements. This will result in a 5% discount from ICRMP, which is valued at saving the City approximately $30,000.00 annually. The Fire Division respectfully requests Council approval at the December 18, 2014 City Council Meeting to authorize the Fire Chief to sign the Agreements and purchase this web-based management resources at the cost of $18,406.00. ACTION: To approve the purchase of the Training Management System called TargetSolutions in the amount of $18,406.00 and give authorization for the Fire Chief to execute the necessary documents (or take other action deemed appropriate).
