Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: This contract provided for the planning and implementation of a regional TZD workshop in each of the following regions in 2014 and 2015 (for a total of 16 workshops): Northeast (MnDOT District 1), Northwest (MnDOT District 2), East Central (MnDOT District 3), West Central (MnDOT District 4), metro (MnDOT Metro District), Southeast (MnDOT District 6), South Central (MnDOT District 7), and Southwest (MnDOT District 8). This contract also supported EMS scholarships and AV support at the 2013 and 2014 TZD statewide conferences in St. Cloud and Duluth, Minn., respectively.
This contract was necessary to further the Toward Zero Deaths initiative and its corresponding goals. It was reasonable to use a contract for this project due to lack of available staff and expertise in the area of workshop management and production at multiple locations.
