SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS | |
Accept the Proposals Submitted by Various Vendors - Request for Proposal (RFP) #11070A-DST Special Programs and Services for Title I Part D (Business Division) | |
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY | |
Facilities for neglected youth, secured facilities for delinquent youth, alternative school sites, and teen parent program centers throughout the county use federal Title I Part D funds. These funds are administered by the school district, to provide additional academic support and learning opportunities, as well as provide the knowledge and skills needed to make a successful transition to secondary school completion, vocational or technical training, further education, or employment. The district currently contracts with providers for special programs and services, otherwise unavailable to the district, to meet the unique and academic needs of these students.
This RFP was issued as a supplement to RFP #10093-DST, approved by the Board on October 26, 2010, to add more vendors to the pool of providers for these special programs. The district's online vendor registration system was used to notify proposers of this opportunity. Four vendors responded and their proposals were evaluated by a committee of district personnel. Criteria are not weighted since proposals were not ranked against each other. The committee recommended awarding to all of the eligible vendors, to be utilized as needed. The initial term of this contract will be for one year beginning July 18, 2012, with four one-year renewals. All prices shall be firm against any increase for at least one year from effective date of the contract. The Superintendent is authorized to approve any extension agreements, per the terms of the specifications. |
