Attachment A - Statement of Availability Idea Due Process Hearing Officer Appeals Board Members (ECAB).pdf

This is a Statement of Availability form for Attachment A related to RFP 540 270000023 issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky for IDEA Due Process Hearing Officer and Appeals Board Members positions. The document outlines specific requirements for vendor availability and travel commitments. Offerors must provide an estimated number of hours available per week as a numeric value and cannot use non-specific responses such as "As Needed." The availability metric will be scored on a relative basis, with the offeror providing the highest number of hours per week receiving the maximum points allocated to this criterion, while other offerors receive proportionally scaled points based on their hours relative to the highest bidder. Offerors must also disclose any availability restrictions during the contract period or state "Not Applicable" if none exist.

The form requires offerors to confirm their agreement to travel throughout the Commonwealth of Kentucky as part of contract performance and to accept potential overnight travel requirements. Both travel provisions require explicit yes or no responses from vendors. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent details, or other financial terms are addressed in this attachment, as it focuses exclusively on establishing the availability and travel capacity expectations for hearing officers and appeals board members serving the state's special education due process system.
