Excerpts from the RFP:

The purpose of this RFA is to generate a comprehensive network of Emergency Response hospitals in the state of Iowa through the submission of an application to the Iowa Department of Public Health (referred to as Department) which will result in a baseline general conditions “emergency” contract that will support the healthcare system and be in place to assure readiness and response capability to respond effectively to health related disasters within the community.

Through this process and the resulting contract, the Department seeks to enhance Iowa’s ability to rapidly mobilize, surge and respond to healthcare emergencies by establishing a roster of contractors that may receive funding in an expeditious manner in order to respond to healthcare emergencies of such magnitude, complexity or significance that they would have an overwhelming negative impact on Iowa’s hospitals and exceed the resources available to them .
