MoDOT Mandatory OSHA 10-Hour Construction Industry Training

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking qualified vendors to provide OSHA 10-Hour Construction Industry Training for approximately 3,500 safety-sensitive employees across seven districts and the Central Office. The training must be a comprehensive 10-hour program conducted in person, spread over a minimum of two calendar days, with a maximum of 7.5 student contact hours per day. Mandatory training topics include a 1-hour Introduction to OSHA, 4 hours on OSHA Focus Four Hazards, 30 minutes on Personal Protective Equipment, and 30 minutes on Health Hazards in Construction, with additional 2 hours of elective topics and 2 hours of optional topics. The contract period runs from the date of award through March 31, 2024, with three one-year renewal options. Bids are due by March 23, 2023, at 7:00 PM GMT, and will be evaluated on a district-by-district basis, with MoDOT reserving the right to award to multiple vendors. Vendors must be registered on the MissouriBUYS procurement system and must schedule training sessions at least 14 days in advance, conducting them between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday.

MoDOT strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), specifically seeking 10% MBE and 5% WBE participation through subcontractors, suppliers, or joint ventures. Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprises (SDVE) are also eligible and may receive preference. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the scope suggests a significant training investment covering seven districts and the Central Office for 3,500 employees. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $2 million in general liability and business automobile liability, as well as workers' compensation coverage. All training materials must be approved by MoDOT prior to use, and contractors will be required to provide course completion cards to participants. Payment will be made on a net 30-day basis, with prices remaining firm for 90 days from the bid opening, and potential for price increases after the first six months of the contract period, subject to MoDOT approval.
