Motorcycle Training Schools-MDOTBOSTON-MTS

The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) is procuring motorcycle training services for its Motorcycle Rider Education Program (MREP) through a Request for Response (RFR). The scope of work includes providing MREP-sponsored coach/instructor training workshops, evaluations, motorcycle training seats, coaches/instructors for MREP events, issuing motorcycle endorsements, managing motorcycle simulators, and complying with RMV/MREP policies. Bidders must meet qualifications such as licensing, compliance with laws and regulations, and providing references. The RFR anticipates awarding multiple vendors and allows for adding additional vendors over the 5-year maximum contract term. Proposals are due by February 25, 2016 and the estimated contract start date is April 1, 2016.

The contract is funded through the RMV's MREP program, but the RMV makes no guarantee of purchase volumes. The RFR allows for a 20% discount on student spaces for MREP-approved curriculums. While there is no explicit set-aside, the RFR emphasizes compliance with state laws and regulations, including prompt payment discounts, anti-lobbying requirements, confidentiality of personal data, and various executive orders. The incumbent vendors or current contractors are not specified in the provided materials, nor are any details on award values or budget ranges.
