documentation; or (c) replace the software and/or documentation with equally suitable,
compatible, and functionally equivalent non -infringing software and/or documentation at no
additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available

RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize execution of agreements with MT Training Center,
On Track Truck Driving School, LLC, and Continental Road Watch Corporation dba Continental Truck
Driver Training School for commercial driver's license training courses for multiple departments in a
combined annual amount up to $655,680.00 and authorize four, one-year renewals for the same
annual amount.
DISCUSSION:
The Transportation and Public Works, Water, Park and Recreation, Code Compliance, Property
Management, and Aviation Departments approached the Purchasing Division for assistance with
securing an agreement for commercial driver's license (CDL) training courses on an as -needed basis.
Under the proposed agreements, the vendors will provide CDL Class A, Class B, Tanker
Endorsement, and Hazmat Endorsement training courses to ensure all City personnel required to
hold a CDL and/or endorsement have completed a certified training course and are able to
obtain a license. Purchasing issued an Invitation to Bid (ITB) that consisted of detailed specifications
including the certification and licensing requirements for prospective vendors, the courses and
materials to be provided, and the manner in which services shall be performed.
The ITB was advertised in the Fort Worth Star -Telegram on December 7, 2022, December 14,
2022, December 21, 2022, December 28, 2022, and January 4, 2023. The City received
three responses.
An evaluation panel consisting of representatives from the Water, Transportation and Public Works,
Park and Recreation, and Code Compliance Departments reviewed and scored the submittal using
Best Value criteria. The individual scores were averaged for each of the criteria and the final scores
are listed in the table below.

After evaluation, the panel concluded that MT Training Center, On Track Truck Driving School, and
Continental Road Watch Corporation dba Continental Truck Driver Training School presented the
best value. Therefore, the panel recommends that Council authorize agreements with MT Training
Center, On Track Truck Driving School, LLC, and Continental Road Watch Corporation dba
Continental Truck Driver Training School. No guarantee was made that a specific amount of services
would be purchased. Staff certifies that the recommended vendors' bids met specifications.
FUNDING: The maximum amount allowed under this agreement for the initial term will be
$655,680.00; however the actual amount used will be based on the need of the departments and
available budget.

expire one year from that date.
RENEWAL TERMS: This agreement may be renewed for four additional, one-year terms at the
amounts authorized through this M&C. This action does not require specific City Council approval
provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during
the renewal term.

the City Manager up to the amount allowed by relevant law and the Fort Worth City Code and does
not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.

The Director of Finance certifies that funds are available in the current operating budget, as
previously appropriated, in the participating departments' Operating Funds to support the approval of
the above recommendation and execution of the purchase agreements. Prior to any expenditure
being incurred, the participating departments have the responsibility to validate the availability of
