The training is designed for CCC Corpsmembers aged 18-25, who respond to state emergencies and support natural resource initiatives. Key deliverables include engaging, multi-modal instruction that meets OSHA compliance standards, with class sizes limited to 30 maximum and a minimum enrollment of 15 students. The contractor must provide comprehensive training materials, textbooks, completion certificates, and career pathway education. The solicitation (Contract #C5310-116674) requires electronic bid submission to Armando Avila by June 25, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with the contract term covering fiscal year 2025/2026.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises.

The total estimated contract value is approximately $95,000, with the CCC providing basic personal protective equipment for students and logistical support for PPE transportation. Potential bidders must submit multiple attachments, including a bid submission checklist, bidder declaration, payee data record, proof of insurance, cost sheet, and various compliance certifications. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with state regulations, including nondiscrimination policies, civil rights laws, and the Darfur Contracting Act. Contractors should be prepared for potential training rescheduling if CCC crews are deployed during emergency responses, demonstrating the need for flexibility across different California regions.
