RFP – Leadership Development Series

Alabama Port Authority seeks a qualified provider to design and deliver a six‑class, in‑person leadership development series for a small cohort of 3‑4 high‑potential APA employees. The contractor will create a customized curriculum covering “Lead Yourself” through “Lead the Organization,” conduct six full‑day interactive workshops, provide assessments (including DISC licenses), and manage all program logistics over an 18‑month period. The award will be a firm‑fixed‑price contract; optional services such as individual coaching and future cohort delivery may be priced separately. • Six full‑day, on‑site workshops (≈6 instructional hours each) covering six leadership topics. • Customized content tied to APA’s port operations and cross‑functional environment, with participant materials, assessments, and confidential debriefs. • Lead facilitator plus named backup facilitator; travel, materials, and all costs must be baked into a single firm‑fixed price. • Mandatory compliance with Alabama state contracting requirements (Beason‑Hammon Act, E‑Verify, $1 M professional liability insurance, etc.). • Optional add‑on services (coaching, capstone practice, manager briefings, future‑cohort delivery) are priced separately but not part of the evaluated total price.
