Safety Training

The City of Santa Monica is requesting proposals for Cal OSHA-required safety training services to municipal staff, with proposals due November 9, 2026. The procurement is structured as an RFP with mandatory proposal format compliance and no late submissions accepted.

The scope covers occupational safety and health training programs tailored to meet California OSHA compliance mandates for City employees across municipal departments and operational areas. The selected contractor will deliver training under a Professional Services Agreement incorporating standard insurance requirements, liability coverage, workers' compensation insurance, indemnification, and compliance with applicable California occupational safety regulations. Contractors must obtain and maintain specified insurance thresholds throughout the contract period.

The RFP attachments include a Proposer Checklist requiring attendance at any pre-proposal conference, timely submission of questions, and acknowledgment of all issued addenda through the City's OpenGov vendor portal. Proposals must provide point-by-point responses to all RFP sections and respond to a separate cost proposal template that requires detailed cost breakdowns accounting for training delivery, materials, instructor certification, and administrative expenses. Evaluation criteria and weighting are established in the RFP documents but are not detailed in available summaries. Contract pricing, term, renewal options, and specific training modules or participant counts will be negotiated based on proposals received.

The procurement materials were posted October 13, 2026. Proposers should verify the complete RFP document and all addenda before submission to ensure full compliance with stated requirements, as proposals are evaluated exclusively on information and materials provided in the response.
