The State of Oregon, acting by and through Oregon Department of Transportation (“ODOT”), Oregon Local and Tribal Technical Assistance Program (“LTAP”/ “TTAP”) and Technology Center (“T2”) herby provides public notice of the approval of Special Procurement #SP 22128.

This notice of Special Procurement SP# 22128 is to allow ODOT to enter into Price Agreements (“PA”), and subsequent Work Order Contracts (“WOCs”), directly with qualified trainers to provide 3rd party statewide delivery of training classes, course development, and other technology transfer activities for the T2 Center without using a competitive process.

The LTAP/TTAP Program was established in 1982 by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (“FHWA”) to provide local rural and tribal communities with training programs and information to address the maintenance of rural roadways and bridges. LTAP/TTAP services allow local, rural and tribal communities to maximize the performance of their transportation workforce and create and manage a safe, efficient, and environmentally sound transportation infrastructure. LTAP/TTAP Centers (collectively “Centers”) are funded by FHWA, requiring a 50/50 match requirement from states, in this case Oregon, and/or other local cities and counties.

The LTAP/TTAP plays a critical role in advancing the national intermodal transportation system and is a partner of choice for training and technical assistance throughout the transportation community. FHWA first implemented the forerunner of the LTAP/TTAP in 1982 to provide local agencies with training programs and information to address the maintenance of rural roadways and bridges. Expanded to include more urban areas and tribal lands in 1991, the national program delivers technology transfer, training, and technical assistance through 52 local Centers – one in each state, one in Puerto Rico, and one covering the tribal areas throughout the continental United States and Alaska.
