The Prineville and Lakeview Districts of the BLM are also included in this contract. The number of classes ordered each year will vary depending on funding received for that fiscal year. Some of the classes offered may be a combination of these classes that we want taught together. For information only: the Ochoco/Deschutes/Prineville BLM held 36 classes in calendar year 2013. These are the classes that we want offered. First Aid/Delayed Care - This training course will meet OSHA's Guidelines for First Aid and will use the American Heart Association curriculum.

CPR - This training course will teach rescuers how to recognize and treat life-threatening emergencies, including cardiac arrest and choking. Students also learn to recognize the warning signs of heart attack and stroke in adults and breathing difficulties in children.

Vendor will provide students with their own manikins during class and receive reference materials to assist in staying current on the valuable lifesaving techniques learned in the class. This training should be accompanied with a performance-based component provided by a certified EMT level CPR instructor. Either the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross standards will be met. AED - Automated External Defibrillator - The primary focus of this course is the proper use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED).

This training should be accompanied with a performance-based component provided by a certified EMT level instructor. Vendor will be required to cover the local BLM/FS AED plan in class. Zoll AED's are currently being used in these offices, so training units should be of a similar nature.
