Request For Proposals No. 6104.1.2

Before and After Childcare for Montgomery County Public Schools – Multiple Locations

1.0. INTENT

Through this Request for Proposal (RFP), Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is seeking multiple pre-qualified agencies, organizations, companies, or corporations interested to provide before and after school childcare services at Multiple Locations for the 2026–2027 school year, starting in August 2026, with the opportunity to extend services for six additional school years.

The successful applicants will receive a permit from the Community Use of Public Facilities

(CUPF) for the next school year. The permit will be renewed annually without a scheduled rebid for six (6) additional years except as noted below.

If no responsible or responsive proposal is received for a specific location, the Request for Proposal shall be re-advertised in an additional twenty-one (21) day increments until a responsive and responsible proposal is received and accepted. All proposals received will be reviewed and rated by a selection committee (“Selection Committee”) comprised of MCPS, MCCPTA and MCEA, MCAAP and SEIU labor union staff. Following issuance of a Notice of Intent to Award to a proposed tenant, lease approval will be contingent upon feedback received from the surrounding community and authorization by the Board of Education.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

MCPS is the 15th largest school system in the United States, and the largest in the state of

Maryland. During the 2023–2024 school year, MCPS served more than 160,000 students from

157 countries speaking 167 languages. With a Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Operating Budget of approximately $3.32 billion, MCPS employs more than 25,400 employees. Among the 211 schools that MCPS operates, 45 are National Blue Ribbon schools. Three Montgomery County

Public Schools (MCPS) have been recognized as the top schools in Maryland as ranked by Niche, a national school and college search platform. In the latest rankings, an additional 18 MCPS schools—across elementary, middle, and high school levels—also placed in the top 10 for the 2025

Best Public Schools in Maryland. Overall, MCPS was recognized as the second Best School

District in Maryland and the second Best School District for Athletes in Maryland.

MCPS is governed by the Montgomery County Board of Education (Board) established by the authority of the laws of the State of Maryland. The Board, under its authority creates and adopts policies and regulations necessary for operating the school system.

Community Use of Public Facilities (CUPF) was created as an independent office by Montgomery

County Government in 1978 to administer and coordinate the after-hours use of Montgomery

County Public Schools and later County buildings by the community. The enabling legislation

(Section 7, Maryland Education Article) established an Interagency Coordinating Board (ICB), comprised of key MCPS and county officials, as well as citizen representatives, to formulate community use policies. CUPF has been given the authority to administer the before and after school childcare provider permitting process as authorized by Board of Education Resolution 19-

13 and Executive Regulation 6-17AM, Before and After School Childcare Programs in Public

Schools. There are approximately 118 before and after school licensed childcare programs in

Montgomery County Public Schools.

3.0 QUALIFICATIONS

Only those applicants who successfully responded to the Requests for Qualifications (RFQ) No.

6104.1 for Before and After School Childcare for Montgomery County Public Schools and meet the qualification criteria will receive and be included in the RFP for before and after school childcare services. For additional qualifications information regarding the RFQ, please visit https://procurement.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/home/Bid_Record/3176

4.0 SCOPE OF SERVICES

The applicant will be expected to obtain a permit from CUPF. Additional hours or services may be provided pursuant to the terms and conditions of this RFP and the CUPF permit. The term of the childcare permit will be six (6) years. If the provider is in good standing after the initial permit they will be eligible to reapply to a new RFP if MCPS decides to extend the childcare program.

The scope of services will vary for each location and is outlined in Attachment A.

5.0 DEVIATIONS

MCPS expects the Applicant to obtain a license from CUPF for each location that has terms and conditions, except and unless modified by MCPS or CUPF. Proposals must clearly identify any variances from or objections to the specifications in this RFP and the terms and conditions of the license agreement template. Lacking any response to the contrary, MCPS will infer that the

Applicant agrees to the specifications of this RFP and each term and condition of the license agreement template. In particular, the insurance provisions set forth in Section 16 of the license agreement are non-negotiable.

6.0 INSTRUCTIONS

All applicants must address the following statements and submit a unique response for each location to which they are applying.

Provide your response to the statements using Attachment C. Do not rank/select more school locations than your capacity. (i.e. if you can only serve 7 schools then only rank 1 through 7, if you can only service one school then rank only 1, if you have capacity to service all 17 locations, then rank 1 through 17).

8.0 EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Proposals will be evaluated based on the criteria as provided under Attachment C by the selection committee comprised of, but not limited to MCPS, MCAAP/MCBOA and

MCCPTA staff or members.

2. All selection committee members will sign a statement to disclose possible conflicts of interests, such as any relationships they have with any of the applicants before receiving the applications. Raters will also be asked to affirm to their ability to provide a fair and objective assessment and agree not to disclose possible proprietary information.

3. During September/October 2025, MCPS staff initiated a survey for parents from the elementary schools listed in Attachment A associated with this request for proposals. The intent of the survey was to gather parent preferences for programs and services provided by extended day childcare providers. The survey results will be used by the selection committee when weighing the criteria listed below. The survey results are included in

Attachment B.

Individual rater points will be awarded based on for the following criteria:

Application Rating Area Max. Points Awarded

• Program Activities and Services 2

• Floor Plan Layout 2

• Program Implementation and Services 2

• School Closures 2

• Tuition 2

4. All raters must use the rating form provided (no exceptions). The scores of all the raters will be added together. The top ranked applicants will be scheduled for an interview. A minimum of three providers must be interviewed. If fewer than three applications are received, all applicants will be interviewed.

5. During the interview, the childcare selection committee will ask each applicant the same set of pre-determined questions developed by the committee. Additional questions may only be asked to clarify information previously provided in the interview.

The rating points for the review of applications and interview will be combined. The applicant with the highest combined rating will be offered the opportunity to provide services. Upon choosing a childcare provider, the childcare selection committee will notify CUPF of the selected childcare provider for the school. Committee members may also review surveys or other feedback collected by the principal within the past six months. If only one provider is interested in a site, the application will be reviewed by the committee to determine if all the requirements/qualifications are met. If so, the selection committee may direct CUPF to issue the sole applicant a permit for the site.

9.0 SELECTION OF THE APPLICANT(S)

MCPS reserves the right to ask clarifying questions about submitted proposals. Applicants also may ask questions related to this RFP prior to submitting their responses. See Section 12.0, Schedule of Events. Only proposals received by the deadline will be considered. Proposals will be screened down to a number of finalists for each location. All Applicants are advised that in the event of receipt of an adequate number of proposals, which, in the opinion of MCPS require no clarification and/or supplementary information, such proposals may be evaluated without further discussions. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most complete and favorable terms and conditions. Should proposals submitted require additional clarification and/or supplementary information, Applicants should be prepared to submit such additional clarification and/or supplementary information, in a timely manner, when requested. If only one Applicant submits a proposal for a particular location, the proposal must be reviewed by the selection committee to determine if all of the requirements and qualifications are met.

MCPS may invite the finalists to make an oral presentation at a time and date to be announced.

See Section 12.0 Schedule of Events. All respondents will receive written notification regarding the intent to award. Should the selected Applicant not be able to a license with CUPF, MCPS is entitled to terminate the award with the selected Applicant, and select another Applicant and/or advertise the available space for additional twenty-one (21) day increments until a responsive and responsible proposal is accepted. This solicitation does not commit MCPS to award any contract or pay any costs incurred in the preparation of a response. MCPS reserves the right to reject any and all responses in accordance with the best interests of MCPS.

Contractors’ Obligation Regarding Criminal Records of Individuals Assigned to Work in

MCPS Facilities

I. Prohibition against assigning registered sex offenders and individuals convicted of sexual offenses, child sexual abuse, and other crimes of violence to MCPS contracts:

Maryland Law requires that any person who enters into a contract with a county board of education

“may not knowingly employ an individual to work at a school” if the individual is a registered sex offender. Under § 11-722 of the Criminal Procedure Article of the Maryland Code, an employer who violates this requirement is guilty of a misdemeanor and, if convicted, may be subject to up to five years imprisonment and/or a $5000 fine.

Effective July 1, 2015, amendments to § 6-113 of the Education Article of the Maryland Code further require that a contractor or subcontractor for a local school system may not knowingly assign an employee to work on school premises with direct, unsupervised, and uncontrolled access to children, if the employee has been convicted of, or pled guilty or nolo contendere to, a crime involving:

a) A sexual offense in the third or fourth degree under § 3–307 or § 3–308 of the Criminal

Law Article of the Maryland Code or an offense under the laws of another state that would constitute an offense under § 3–307 or § 3–308 of the Criminal Law Article if committed in Maryland;

b) Child sexual abuse under § 3-602 of the Criminal Law Article, or an offense under the laws of another state that would constitute child sexual abuse under § 3-602 of the Criminal Law

Article if committed in Maryland; or

c) A crime of violence as defined in § 14–101 of the Criminal Law Article, or an offense under the laws of another state that would be a violation of § 14–101 of the Criminal Law

Article if committed in Maryland, including: (1) abduction; (2) arson in the first degree;

(3) kidnapping; (4) manslaughter, except involuntary manslaughter; (5) mayhem; (6) maiming; (7) murder; (8) rape; (9) robbery; (10) carjacking; (11) armed carjacking; (12) sexual offense in the first degree; (13) sexual offense in the second degree; (14) use of a handgun in the commission of a felony or other crime of violence; (15) child abuse in the first degree; (16) sexual abuse of a minor; (17) an attempt to commit any of the crimes described in items (1) through (16) of this list; (18) continuing course of conduct with a child under § 3-315 of the Criminal Law Article; (19) assault in the first degree; (20) assault with intent to murder; (21) assault with intent to rape; (22) assault with intent to rob; (23) assault with intent to commit a sexual offense in the first degree; and (24) assault with intent to commit a sexual offense in the second degree.

Upon execution of a lease, Applicant is required to submit a letter to confirm that its direct employees and those of any subcontractors and/or independent contractors assigned to perform work in the building meet this obligation. Additionally, the Provider must confirm that it continues to meet this obligation on an annual basis and/or when there are changes in the work-force that the

Provider and/or its subcontractors use to operate its child care program in the building. The term

“work-force” includes all of the Applicant’s direct employees, subcontractors and their employees, and/or independent contractors and their employees that the Provider uses to operate its child care program in the building.

Violation of this provision is a material breach of contract for which MCPS may take appropriate action up to and including termination of the lease.

II. Required criminal background check process for certain individuals in the contractor’s workforce:

1. Provider shall comply with Maryland laws regarding required criminal background checks.

§ 5-561 of the Family Law Article of the Maryland Code requires that any local school system or child care center, and any contractor or subcontractor of a local school system or child care center, ensure that any individuals in its work-force undergo a criminal background check, including fingerprinting, if the individuals will work in a school or child care facility in circumstances where they have direct, unsupervised, and uncontrolled access to children. Upon the execution of a license, Provider shall:

a) Implement the background check process in accordance with Maryland law and

MSDE child care licensing requirements as set forth in Code of Maryland

Regulations 13A.16.06;

b) Comply with any determination by MSDE to prohibit the employment of an individual based on the criminal background check;

c) Ensure that all individuals in the Applicant’s work-force receive training on recognizing, reporting, and preventing child abuse and neglect in accordance with

Code of Maryland Regulations 13A.16.06.02; and

d) Provide all individuals in Applicant’s work-force with an identification badge to be worn at all times in the building.

The badging process will be at the Applicant’s expense.

Violation of this provision is a material breach of the lease for which MCPS may take appropriate action up to and including termination of the lease.

17.0 BID PROTESTS

Any bid protests, including appeals, will be governed by the applicable MCPS Division of

Procurement Regulations. The burden of production of all relevant evidence, data, and documents and the burden of persuasion to support the protest is on the Applicant making the protest.

18.0 TREATMENT OF TECHNICAL DATA IN PROPOSAL

The proposal submitted in response to this request may contain technical data which the Applicant does not want used or disclosed for any purpose other than evaluation of the proposal. The use and disclosure of any such technical data, subject to the provisions of the Maryland Public

Information Act, may be so restricted:

Provided, that Applicant marks the cover sheet of the proposal with the following legend, specifying the pages of the proposal which are to be restricted in accordance with the conditions of the legend: "Technical data contained in pages of this proposal shall not be used or disclosed, except for evaluation purposes."

Provided, that if a contract is awarded to this Applicant as a result of or in connection with the submission of this proposal, MCPS shall have the right to use or disclose these technical data to the extent provided in the contract.

This restriction does not limit the right of MCPS to use or disclose technical data obtained from another source without restriction.

MCPS assumes no liability for disclosure or use of unmarked technical data or products and may use or disclose the data for any purpose and may consider that the proposal was not submitted in confidence and therefore is releasable. Price and cost data concerning salaries, overhead, and general and administrative expenses are considered proprietary information and will not be disclosed, if marked in accordance with the instructions in Section 19.0.

19.0 PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

Applicants are notified that MCPS and selection committee members have unlimited data rights regarding proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. Unlimited data rights means that

MCPS and selection committee members have the right to use, disclose, reproduce, prepare derivative works, distribute copies to the public, or perform publicly and display publicly any information submitted by the Applicants in response to this or any solicitation issued by MCPS.

However, MCPS will exempt information that is confidential commercial or financial information of an Applicant, as defined by the Maryland Public Information Act, State Government Article, Section 10-617, from disclosure. It is the responsibility of the Applicant to clearly identify each part of its proposal that is confidential commercial or financial information by stamping the bottom right-hand corner of each pertinent page with one-inch bold face letters stating the words

“confidential” or “proprietary.” The Applicant agrees that any portion of the proposal that is not stamped as proprietary or confidential is not proprietary or confidential. As a condition for MCPS keeping the information confidential, the Applicant must agree to defend and hold MCPS harmless if any information is inadvertently released. Each Applicant must submit a proprietary and confidential redacted copy of its proposal to be used in responding to MPIA requests.

20.0 UNNECESSARILY ELABORATE BROCHURES

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond those sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the

Applicant’s lack of cost consciousness. Elaborate art work and expensive visual and other presentation aids are neither necessary nor wanted.
