First Aid, CPR and AED Training

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking qualified vendors to provide comprehensive First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) training for employees across its seven districts and Central Office. The Invitation for Bid (IFB) requires training sessions to be conducted between 6:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding state holidays, with sessions scheduled at least 14 days in advance. Training must align with guidelines from the American Red Cross, National Safety Council, or American Heart Association, and include the delivery of training materials, CPR certification cards, and student evaluations. The procurement covers a contract period from the date of award through April 30, 2020, with three one-year renewal options. Vendors must submit pricing on a per-student basis for each district location, with bids due by February 14, 2019, at 2:00 PM CST. Evaluation will be conducted on a lowest-bid basis by district, with MoDOT reserving the right to award to multiple bidders.

The solicitation encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), with specific goals of 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. All vendors must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system to access full solicitation details and submit bids. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the contract will be awarded on a per-student pricing model with no guaranteed minimum or maximum number of students per training session. MoDOT will provide facilities and available equipment, though vendors must supply any additional resources needed to conduct the training. Vendors are responsible for their own travel, lodging, and meal arrangements, and must maintain appropriate insurance coverage, including general liability insurance of $500,000 per person and $3,000,000 per occurrence. The agency reserves the right to obtain similar services from other providers if deemed in its best interest, providing flexibility in contract management.
