Notification of Opportunity - Motor Carrier Education Training Services

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) Commerce and Compliance Division is seeking to establish Service Agreements with Training Service Providers to deliver Motor Carrier Education Training Services through Special Procurement #41112. This procurement targets organizations capable of providing an 8-hour comprehensive training program covering four critical subject areas: Motor Vehicle Registration, Weight-Mile Tax, Size and Weight, and Motor Vehicle Carrier Safety. Qualified Training Providers must develop a detailed curriculum that meets legislative requirements and ensures motor carriers can comply with Oregon laws and regulations. Provider qualifications include having at least 10 years of motor carrier industry experience, with trainers possessing a minimum of 5 years of teaching experience or subject matter expertise. Training must be offered at least monthly and can be delivered through in-person classroom instruction or live online webinars, with providers required to use the ODOT Motor Carrier Education Manual and submit all training materials for ODOT review and approval. The contract opportunity is specifically focused on Marion County and will have a five-year term, with the current posting date of November 16, 2023, and a due date of November 16, 2028.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations beyond the experience and qualification requirements. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and there are no apparent limitations for small businesses or disadvantaged enterprises. Providers will be permitted to set their own pricing, schedules, and locations for training, with the expectation of submitting monthly student rosters to ODOT. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, providers will be able to assess fees directly to students for training, which ODOT will publish on its website. ODOT reserves the right to conduct unscheduled audits and terminate providers for noncompliance, maintaining oversight of the training program. The service agreements will be established through the Commerce and Compliance Division, with providers responsible for maintaining a website with course information, potentially providing interpretation services, and ensuring comprehensive motor carrier education that meets state regulatory requirements.
