RECOMMENDED ACTION:
APPROVE a fourth contract amendment with the
National Association of Training and Environmental
Consulting (NATEC) International, Inc. to provide
additional hazardous materials training classes as part of the RichmondBUILD pre-apprenticeship training

DISCUSSION:
On October 24, 2019, the Employment & Training Division was awarded a $200,000 competitive grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) through the Environmental Workforce Development & Job Training grant program.
The competitive bidding process and original contract for the training were completed in November 2019. The National Association of Training and Environmental Consulting (NATEC) International, Inc. was the winner of the competitive bidding process. This amendment will add one (1) additional cohort, Cohort 48, for Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) certified hazardous materials training services for the grant.
NATEC International, Inc. will provide the following training, which is part of the training classes offered. The scope of work is the same between the existing agreement and the proposed amendment:
Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 40 certification.
Federal OSHA 30 Construction Industry.
Medic First Aid/Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR).
Employment & Training recommends that the City Council approve the contract amendment with the NATEC International, Inc. for hazardous materials training for the RichmondBUILD Program.
