This is Addendum No. 2 to a Request for Proposal issued by the Central Bidding Department of the Colonial School District in Delaware for Physical Therapy Services (RFP# 4-26-65). The District seeks qualified vendors to provide full-time equivalent physical therapy services at 35 hours per week during the regular school year, with deliverables including evaluations, screenings, treatment planning, individual and group therapy sessions, consultation services, and related administrative tasks. Proposals must be submitted electronically to bids@dataservice.org by April 29, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public bid opening scheduled for the same date and time. The contract period runs from August 3, 2026, through August 3, 2027, with options to renew for subsequent full years under the same terms and conditions subject to District review and acceptance. Bidders must guarantee the ability to supply qualified therapists by August 4, 2026, and interviews, if required, will be scheduled within ten days of bid opening.

Physical therapists must hold a current Delaware professional license, possess a master's degree, and provide evidence of criminal background clearance prior to employment. Vendors must submit an hourly rate for all services with administrative costs incorporated, along with a detailed budget and three business references. Evaluation criteria are weighted as cost (30 percent), ability to service a broad range of student circumstances (35 percent), and qualifications and experience (35 percent). All contractors must secure general liability and professional liability insurance with a minimum coverage of $1,000,000 and provide a Certificate of Insurance before beginning duties. Addendum No. 2 clarifies that bid deposits and performance bonds are waived per the Special Instructions, which take precedence over conflicting General Instructions. The District reserves the right to award the contract to multiple vendors to ensure adequate coverage and may terminate the contract at any time with 30 days' written notice with no early termination charges.
