RFP Items to be Returned.zip

This file contains items to be returned as part of a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the State of Oregon, acting through the Secretary of State's Human Resources Division, in partnership with Marion County and the City of Salem, for comprehensive leadership training services. The RFP seeks a train-the-trainer program designed to support employees in leadership roles, including executives, management teams, team leads, and staff developing leadership skills. The selected vendor must demonstrate at least five years of experience and provide a blended learning format combining online and in-person instruction. The RFP was posted on October 17, 2019, with proposals due by November 15, 2019. The contract term extends up to five years, covering the period from 2019 through 2024, with no renewal options specified in the summary documentation.

Evaluation will be equally weighted across three criteria at 33.3% each: quality and functionality, cost, and ease of integration into the Agency's current training infrastructure. Pricing will be assessed based on train-the-trainer session costs, participant materials, and shipping expenses as detailed in Attachment D. The RFP does not specify explicit set-aside designations but indicates preferences for Oregon-based goods and services and recycled materials. Vendors must meet comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, general liability, automobile liability, professional liability, network security and privacy liability, and pollution liability with specified coverage limits. Bidders must provide three references from previous train-the-trainer students and certify compliance with state non-discrimination, tax payment, and conflict of interest policies. The selected training solution must demonstrate compatibility with the Agency's existing situational leadership model framework.
