EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
To ensure fair and open competition, the District utilizes an online vendor registration system to notify potential bidders of opportunities. Through this system, 486 vendors were notified of the solicitation, ten proposals were received within the RFP timeframe and 476 did not respond (Attachment A). The evaluation process included a committee of district level personnel (Attachment B). The evaluation consisted of two phases. In Phase I, the committee evaluated the proposals based on the RFP criteria (Attachment C). After evaluation, the committee determined that six firms should be invited back for presentations, Phase II, on May 4, 2006. Based upon the RFP specifications and committee evaluations, it is recommended that the proposals submitted by Kimberlee Vickers, Invo HealthCare Assoc., Progressus Therapy, Independent Living, Inc., Therapy Dynamics, and Cross Country Staffing be accepted (Attachment D). The highest ranked firm will have the first right of refusal to provide the requested therapists. The firm will have forty-eight hours to respond to request for therapists. If the highest ranked firm cannot provide the therapists the next highest ranked firm will be contacted until staffing is completed. The fee schedule for each firm recommended for award is provided under Attachment E. The initial term of the contract shall be for a three-year period with an effective date of July 2, 2006.
