Classes shall be scheduled for a duration that is no less than one (1) school year and no more than two (2) school years with a class size range of 1 to 15 students, which is contingent on each task order issued.

Sessions may overlap and run concurrently. Apprentices normal work week is Monday through Friday. Classes shall be completed on apprentices’ own time.

Vendors shall propose variations available for evening, (after 3:30 p.m., central time), and/or weekend classes to meet the required curriculum for Year One and Year Two, to include the offeror’s normal business operating hours. Total hours available offered shall consist of a minimum of eight (8) classroom hours per week. Vendor shall indicate what day(s) of the week they are offering, and what the projected operating hours are for the aforementioned classes, to include evening and/or weekends.

The eight (8) classroom hours and course schedule availability will be left to the vendor and RIA-JMTC, and shall be offered in accordance with RIA-JMTC’s employees’ work schedules. Condensed versions of curriculum is the preferred method to ensure employees are able to work full-time and attend classes on a part-time basis. (See Appendix B) Employees at RIA-JMTC may work various schedules; however, will be available evenings and/or weekends to attend courses. All on the job training and required lab work will be conducted at RIA-JMTC.

Vendors shall provide quotes that best meet the Government’s objective for completion of all courses in the two-year period. (See Appendix A.) The Government will evaluate offers based on the vendor whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government.

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The Apprenticeship Training is an extensive training for new Apprentices. The intent is to have new apprentices participate in this training while they are performing in their position at RIA-JMTC, outside of their normal work hours.

Apprentices’ classroom performance shall be made available to RIA-JMTC Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). This includes grades, academic failures, classroom progression, and attendance. The COR’s name will be provided after award of the
