ODNR, DOGRM, OSHA 10 Basic Industry Training

The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Oil & Gas Resources Management, is soliciting bids for OSHA 10 Basic Industry Training for an estimated 60 staff members. The procurement involves a two-day, in-person training course to be conducted at the ODNR field office in New Philadelphia during the week of March 2nd, with start times between 9-10 AM. The training requires the selected vendor to provide comprehensive OSHA 10 Basic Industry Training, with all participants receiving a completion card or certificate documenting their coursework. Bidding will be conducted through Ohio Buys, with proposals evaluated based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid calculated by multiplying the per-participant unit cost by the estimated 60 participants. The proposal due date is January 20, 2026, with the delivery address specified as 2207 Reiser Avenue SE in New Philadelphia, OH. Vendors must submit a comprehensive, all-inclusive per-participant price that covers both training days and includes all certificate processing fees. The winning bidder will be required to sign a services agreement and a Non-Member OPERS agreement, and must submit technical requirements to the Division three weeks prior to the scheduled class date.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types mentioned in the solicitation documents. The contract appears open to qualified training providers capable of delivering OSHA 10 Basic Industry Training. Vendors must be prepared to meet several administrative requirements, including maintaining appropriate insurance coverage (commercial general liability with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate), complying with prevailing wage requirements, and adhering to drug-free workplace policies and nondiscrimination standards. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the total contract value can be estimated by multiplying the per-participant rate by 60 staff members. The contract includes provisions for travel cost reporting on a Port-to-Port charge line and requires the vendor to handle all associated expenses. Notably, the contract includes a Non-Member OPERS acknowledgment, indicating that the service provider will be classified as an independent contractor without OPERS contribution requirements.
