Forklift Certification Service

The Miami-Dade County government authority in Miami, Florida, requires an online Forklift Trainer Certification course to prepare its designated Fleet Manager to become a qualified forklift trainer and evaluator. This training must align with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.178 requirements so the Fleet Manager can develop, administer, and manage a compliant forklift operator training and certification program. The agency needs to establish a consistent, defensible, and compliant process for training, evaluating, and certifying employees who operate powered industrial trucks, including sit-down forklifts. The scope of work covers an online training program that instructs on the responsibilities of trainers, employer obligations, and the development of an OSHA-compliant operator training program. The course must also cover adult learning techniques, communication strategies, scenario-based learning, and safe forklift operating practices. The selected contractor must provide online access to the course, all necessary training resources, and a certificate of completion or trainer credential upon successful completion. Bidders must be organizations based in the United States, as the eligibility rules restrict participation to onshore entities. The work will be performed entirely offsite. Bidders must submit a description of the proposed training program, the course duration, and the specific completion requirements. The agency is looking for budget proposals to determine the cost of the service. Submissions can be delivered digitally via email or through the designated online portal. The source document does not specify evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
