The University is seeking proposals for the supply, delivery, installation, and training for two (2) 24–36-foot gooseneck mobile transportation units that can house one (1) fire apparatus driver training simulator and one (1) side-mounted pump-ops panel simulator. The objective is to enhance the state’s training capabilities for emergency vehicle operators and pump-operations, improving situational awareness, judgement, decision-making, and multi-tasking in a controlled, safe environment while allowing the documentation of customizable individual and team skills assessment. The delivery, installation, and training services shall be performed at the West Virginia State Fire Training Academy located at 2600 Old Mill Road, Weston, WV 26452. The proposal shall also include post-installation support and a comprehensive warranty period of at least 12 months. The simulator units shall be installed into the mobile units so that they have the ability to be removed and shall be interoperable. The specifications of the requested units must meet or exceed the specifications listed in the Scope of Services below. A. (2) Fire Apparatus Driver Training Simulator; 1.
