About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Central Bidding Department of Colonial School District in Delaware for Behavioral Services and Support (RFP# 4-26-66). The addendum, dated April 17, 2026, clarifies specifications for vendors providing special education related services including Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), Occupational Therapy (OT), Physical Therapy (PT), and Psychology services to students aged 3-21. The RFP opening date is April 30, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with the contract period running from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2027, and renewal options available by mutual agreement. The district anticipates awarding the RFP approximately one month after bid opening following committee review and board approval. School day hours are defined as 7.0 hours per day across 188 school days annually. The district indicates a typical need of approximately 25 contracted therapy personnel, with consistent demand for SLPs and School Psychologists, though exact volume requirements are uncertain year to year.
The addendum provides historical pricing context from four previous vendors, with hourly rates ranging from $62.50 to $92.00 across various disciplines and service levels. Bidders are restricted to disciplines explicitly listed in the RFP and cannot propose services outside those specifications. The district prefers in-person service delivery over teletherapy, though teletherapy equipment specifications remain undefined at the time of the addendum. Electronic signatures are acceptable for bid submission, and resumes are not required. Bidders must not reference current district personnel in their submissions. Service coordinator contact information will be provided only to successful vendors post-award. No specific contract value or budget is disclosed in the addendum.
