About this file

This Addendum No. 1 modifies the Out-Of-School Program solicitation (020-PUR-2023) issued by the Dougherty County School System in Albany, Georgia on October 21, 2022. The amendment addresses vendor inquiries regarding program scope and operational requirements. The Dougherty County School System seeks a qualified community-based organization to provide academic enrichment activities and supplemental programming during non-school hours for pre-kindergarten through eighth-grade students. The solicitation does not require in-person programming at school locations; rather, vendors must identify off-site locations within Dougherty County. The program targets specific student populations rather than serving all schools within the district, with vendors required to detail recruitment and retention strategies in their proposals to achieve minimum participation thresholds of at least 90 hours or 30 days of regular student engagement. The original bid due date was November 17, 2022, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. The contract period begins December 1, 2022, for an initial one-year term with two additional option years potentially extending the agreement through July 30, 2025.

The addendum clarifies that participating organizations must be headquartered or operate within Dougherty County and confirms that no school facilities will be provided for program delivery. Vendors are referred to Section V of the original RFP for specific targeting criteria and programmatic requirements. The amendment indicates that the Extended Day Program currently serves all elementary students in the district and has historically appealed to working parents seeking affordable, quality supervision for after-school hours. No pricing terms, funding amounts, or set-aside information is detailed in this addendum document; such information would be contained in the original solicitation and related procurement documents.
