Distracted Driving Presentations

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) S-73000-00011129 seeking a contractor to develop and deliver distracted driving awareness presentations across the state. The selected proposer will create a comprehensive one-hour presentation that incorporates national and statewide distracted driving data, highlights the dangers of distracted driving, and includes personal experiences with distracted driver crashes. These presentations must be deliverable both in-person and virtually to up to 75 ODOT-approved groups throughout Oregon. Proposers are required to have national training or recognition in conducting effective distracted driving presentations and will be evaluated based on criteria including personal experiences with distracted driving incidents, incorporation of state-specific data, experience delivering presentations to diverse audiences, and national training credentials. The RFP was posted on September 10, 2024, with proposals due by September 24, 2024, and the initial contract term is set for one year. Evaluation will follow a scoring methodology that assesses the proposer's qualifications, presentation content, and ability to effectively communicate the risks of distracted driving.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly highlighted, the RFP includes federal terms and conditions with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) provisions, though no specific DBE goal is assigned for this procurement. The contract documents indicate that travel expenses, if approved, will be reimbursed at Oregon Travel Policy rates. The contract will utilize federal funds and will be compensated through a fixed price, time and materials, or price per unit method with a not-to-exceed amount. Though the exact budget is not disclosed in the publicly available documents, the Price Proposal attachment suggests flexibility in pricing structure. Proposers must demonstrate organizational responsibility by completing a Responsibility Inquiry that assesses financial resources, business experience, personnel capabilities, and past performance. The Intent to Award document indicates that "Hang Up and Drive" has been selected as the top-ranked firm for contract negotiations, suggesting they were the most competitive proposer for this distracted driving presentation contract.
