"AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER"

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP): RFP 26-27

Content Filtering, Classroom Device Monitoring/Management, and Student Wellness/Safety -

Multi-Year Contract (June 2026 - June 2029)

I. INTRODUCTION

The Board of Public Education for the City of Savannah and the County of Chatham (the "District"), the body corporate responsible for public education in Chatham County, which is commonly known as the Savannah-

Chatham County Public School System ("SCCPSS"), seeks sealed proposals as specified in this Request for

Proposals ("RFP") RFP 26-27 Content Filtering, Classroom Device Monitoring/Management, and Student

Wellness/Safety - Multi-Year Contract (June 2026 - June 2029).

It is worth noting at the outset that the competitive sealed proposal ("RFP") process differs from competitive sealed bidding in two important ways:

1) It permits discussions with competing Offerors and changes in their proposal, including price; and

2) It allows comparative judgmental evaluations to be made on various criteria (in addition to cost) for award of the contract.

Vendors who wish to be awarded a contract by the District to provide the goods and/or services requested by this RFP shall be referred to herein as the "Offeror(s)" or "Bidder(s)." To be considered for an award of a contract under this RFP, Offerors should carefully read this solicitation document, and all of the forms, product specifications, service requirements, contract documents, or other materials that may be attached hereto or referenced herein. This RFP and the associated documents identify the goods/and or services requested by the

District, contain the instructions for preparing and submitting proposals and supporting documentation (collectively "Proposal Packages"), and outline the process by which the District will award a contract for those goods and/or services, if it decides to award a contract at all.

II. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR THIS RFP

A. A "Cone of Silence" Applies to this RFP.

A "Cone of Silence" is imposed upon this RFP after advertising and terminates at the time the District awards a contract. Except as specifically set forth below, the Cone of Silence prohibits any communications in any form (whether written, oral, or electronic) by, or on behalf of, a prospective Offeror for this solicitation, including any persons affiliated with or in any way related to a prospective Offeror, with any District employee, any member of the elected Board of Education that serves as the District's governing body, the Superintendent or her staff, and any other persons involved in evaluating the proposal, such as program managers or members of any selection committee. The Cone of Silence is intended to prohibit lobbying for, or against, a particular Offeror or Offerors and to prevent prospective Offerors from circumventing the process for selection set forth in this RFР.

The Cone of Silence does not apply to oral communications with the Director of Purchasing, or the Director of Purchasing's designees, at pre-proposal conferences, site visits (as applicable), presentations before selection committees, contract negotiations with offerors selected for award, or at other times expressly allowed by this solicitation. Written communications expressly authorized by this solicitation, such as (1) the submission of the proposal itself, (2) requests for interpretation, requests for material substitutions, protests, or similar inquiries to the purchasing department, (3) documents circulated at oral presentations before selection
