About this opportunity

The Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County, Texas (METRO) is soliciting bids for an Aerial Boom Safety Course training program through Invitation for Bid (IFB) No. Doc1631997589. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive safety training for 258 forklift operators, 125 aerial boom lift operators, and 9 train-the-trainer personnel. Training sessions will be conducted in four-hour blocks, focusing on OSHA standards, DOT regulations, and proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), with sessions scheduled every two weeks for first and second shifts, and monthly for the third shift. The training will utilize METRO's equipment across multiple facilities in Houston, including Kashmere, Fallbrook, Hiram Clarke, Polk, West, Rail Operations Center, Field Service Center, and Central Stores locations. Key deliverables include hands-on safety training with each session limited to five trainees, comprehensive documentation including instructional content, sign-in sheets, and individual participant certificates. The bid timeline includes a pre-bid meeting on August 6, 2025, and final bid submissions due on August 27, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with bids to be submitted electronically through METRO's Bonfire hub.

The solicitation indicates no specific small business participation goal (SB Goal N/A), and the contract will be fully funded at 100% by METRO. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the lowest bid price, with METRO reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Instructors must be OSHA-certified or accredited by an authorized expert and will conduct training exclusively in English. The contract term is initially one year, with potential month-to-month extensions up to six months. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, mandating Workers' Compensation Insurance, Commercial General Liability (minimum $1,000,000 per occurrence), and Business Automobile Liability, with policies requiring A-/VI or higher Best's ratings. Payment terms are Net 30, with monthly billing, and pricing is to be submitted on BidTable BT-09RY. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the extensive training requirements for 392 total personnel suggest a substantial contract value commensurate with the scope of safety training services.
