The procurement calls for instructional services to provide participants with knowledge and skills required to serve as a Competent Person for trenching and excavation activities in compliance with OSHA standards (29 CFR 1926 Subpart P). The six mandatory service line items require one instructor-led classroom training course at each of the following locations: Ames, Atlantic, Sioux City, Mason City, Cedar Rapids, and Fairfield, with an optional bid alternate for a second class in Ames.

The Iowa DOT will not provide trench boxes, and classes will be taught in classroom environments only. No language accommodations are required as all students will speak English. Delivery terms are F.O.B. Destination with payment terms of Net 60. Award will be made to the responsible bidder whose submission is most advantageous to the Iowa DOT considering cost and other factors including meeting mandatory requirements, proposed staffing, time schedule compliance, past work performance, and work capacity.
