Agency Overview and Project Description Oregon Department of Transportation (“ODOT” or “Agency”) is requesting Offers for services in connection with the Certification User Group: Training, Planning, and Facilitation (the “Project”).

In 2015, ODOT surveyed stakeholders of the Local Agency Certification Program (“Certification Program”) to identify needed improvements to the Certification Program and its processes. In June of 2016, local agencies met in Salem to review results of the survey and to provide input for development of a Certification User Group (“CUG”). In December of 2016, Certification Program stakeholders officially chartered the CUG and held annual meetings in December every year since. The CUG has a steering committee and currently has 3 subcommittees to strengthen communication, collaborate on process improvements, and provide training on Certification Program related processes. The 3 subcommittees are: 1) Standards, 2) Process Improvement & Training, and 3) Project Funding & Obligations. The subcommittees each have work plans that are coordinated through the efforts of the steering committee. The charter and examples of meeting and training materials are available on the ODOT Certification User Group webpage at: Oregon CUG.

Contractor shall provide ongoing support to the Certification Program and its stakeholder engagement through the CUG to:

· Develop, deliver, and closeout annual meetings, trainings, and workshops;
