MoDOT Mandatory OSHA 10-Hour Construction Industry Training

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for OSHA 10-Hour Construction Industry Training to be provided to approximately 3,500 safety-sensitive employees across its seven districts and Central Office. The training must comprehensively cover mandatory topics including a 1-hour Introduction to OSHA, 4-hour Focus Four Hazards module, 30-minute Personal Protective Equipment segment, and 30-minute Health Hazards in Construction section, along with 2 hours of elective topics and 2 hours of optional construction industry content. Trainings must be conducted in-person at MoDOT facilities between 6:00 AM and 5:00 PM Monday through Friday, with sessions scheduled at least 14 days in advance and spread across a minimum of two calendar days. Bidders must be registered in the MissouriBUYS procurement system and possess current OSHA Outreach Trainer certification from an authorized OTI Education Center. The bid submission period runs from March 30, 2023, to April 7, 2023, with the contract period extending from the date of award through March 31, 2024, and three potential one-year renewal options available.

MoDOT strongly encourages participation from Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and Women Business Enterprises (WBE), specifically targeting 10% MBE and 5% WBE involvement through subcontractors, suppliers, joint ventures, or other arrangements. The contract will be awarded by district to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with MoDOT reserving the right to make multiple district-specific awards. While there are no explicit set-aside designations, vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $500,000 per person/$4,000,000 per occurrence for general and automobile liability. Pricing will be evaluated on a per-participant basis for each district, with no advance deposits permitted and payment processed net 30 days after successful training completion. Although a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a potentially significant procurement given the training requirement for 3,500 employees across multiple districts. Cooperative purchasing options are available for other Missouri government entities, potentially expanding the contract's potential utilization and value.
