Description
The State of Oregon, through ODOT’s Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division, is authorizing a special procurement to award direct contracts to private transit providers that will serve as third‑party Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) testing agencies for their own employees (and, where authorized, for other transit providers). This non‑competitive process bypasses a traditional bid and instead qualifies any qualified provider that meets statutory, insurance, bonding, and certification requirements. The procurement covers a ten‑year performance period (June 1 2019 – May 31 2029) with an estimated total program cost of $1.4 M to $2.2 M. No specific vendors are pre‑identified; interested parties must demonstrate compliance with federal FMCSR, Oregon statutes, maintain requisite insurance ($2 M per occurrence, $4 M aggregate) and a $10 k surety bond, and have a certified CDL examiner on staff.
• Scope: Direct third‑party CDL skills testing for privately‑owned transit providers.
• Eligibility: Private transit entities with an Oregon testing site, active corporate registration, certified CDL examiner, required insurance and bonding.
• Procurement Method: Special (sole‑source) procurement – ODOT will qualify and award contracts without competitive bidding.
• Timeline: Performance period runs 10 years (June 1 2019 – May 31 2029); the public notice and protest period have passed, and contracts will be awarded after any protest resolution.
