About this file
This is Addendum No. 1 to a Request for Proposal issued by the Central Bidding Department of the Colonial School District in Delaware for Occupational Therapy Services (RFP# 4-26-67). The addendum, dated April 17, 2026, modifies the original RFP specifications and provides clarification on key operational parameters. The RFP seeks occupational therapy providers to deliver comprehensive services including evaluations, assessments, intervention planning, progress monitoring, and collaboration with IEP teams throughout the school year. The proposal submission and public opening are scheduled for May 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with electronic submissions directed to bids@dataservice.org. The contract period runs from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2027, with renewal options available by mutual agreement. The district anticipates a school year of 188 days with 7.0 hours constituting a school day. The anticipated award date is approximately one month following the bid opening, contingent upon committee review and Colonial School District board approval. Vendors may only bid on disciplines explicitly listed in the RFP and are restricted from proposing additional special education disciplines not included in the original specifications.
The addendum establishes pricing context through disclosure of previous vendor rates, ranging from $72.89 to $91.04 per hour for occupational therapists and related disciplines. The district prefers in-person service delivery over teletherapy and has indicated that service coordinator contact information will be provided only to successful vendors post-award. The district anticipates contracting approximately 25 therapy positions annually, with particular emphasis on Speech-Language Pathologists and School Psychologists. No specific budget allocation is disclosed, and no incumbent vendors are identified in the solicitation. Electronic signatures are acceptable for bid documents, and resumes are not required as part of the submission. District personnel may not be used as references by prospective vendors. The district reserves the right to award contracts to multiple vendors to ensure adequate service coverage.
