Basic Supervisory Training Services (Crew Leader Training)

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) are seeking proposals for Basic Supervisory Training Services (Crew Leader Training) through a Request for Proposal (RFP) targeting new or relatively new supervisors in maintenance crews. The training program requires a comprehensive 16-hour curriculum covering effective communication, interpersonal skills, self-management, leadership, and project management, to be delivered across three separate sessions during the contract period from December 1, 2022 through November 30, 2023, with two potential one-year renewals. Each session will accommodate up to 30 participants, totaling approximately 90 employees trained during the contract period. The training can be delivered either in-person or virtually, with MoDOT determining the method closer to the training dates. Proposals are due by August 15, 2022 at 2:00 PM Central Time, with vendor questions due by July 26, 2022. The evaluation criteria will assess proposals based on three key components: Experience, Expertise and Reliability (40 points), Proposed Method of Performance (45 points), and Proposed Fee (15 points).

MoDOT actively encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with suggested participation targets of 10% MBE and 5% WBE through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Vendors must be registered and in good standing with the Missouri Secretary of State and provide proof of lawful presence and work authorization. The RFP requires vendors to maintain specific insurance coverage, including general liability insurance of $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence, business automobile liability of $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence, and workers' compensation coverage with $1,000,000 employer's liability insurance. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, vendors must submit hourly pricing by employee type and provide firm, fixed pricing for the training services. Proposals can be submitted electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or via hard copy mail with prior notification to the buyer of record.
