RE-BID Post Offer Employment Testing

The Iowa DOT seeks a qualified vendor to perform statewide Post‑Offer Employment Testing (POET) for its maintenance‑worker workforce. The testing must be job‑simulation‑based, ADA‑compliant, and delivered via a network of fixed sites or mobile units so that candidates travel no more than two hours from their assigned DOT garage. The vendor must supply all testing equipment, maintain insurance on vehicles/equipment, provide a complete, up‑to‑date list of testing locations, and coordinate testing dates with the DOT. The contract is initially for 12 months with the option to renew up to five additional years. • Provide hands‑on, job‑realistic physical‑fitness tests (nine specific simulation tasks) for DOT maintenance positions. • Operate multiple testing sites across Iowa (urban, suburban, rural) or mobile testing vehicles, ensuring travel ≤ 2 hours for candidates. • Deliver testing equipment, maintain insurance, and submit a full site‑address list; any site changes require DOT approval. • Award based on the Base Bid price (per‑candidate fee) plus “cost‑and‑other‑factors” evaluation.
