This is an Addendum No. 2 to a Request for Proposal issued by the Central Bidding Department of Colonial School District in Delaware for occupational therapy services (RFP# 4-26-67). The addendum modifies specifications and clarifies requirements for vendors providing occupational therapy services to support students within the school system. Proposals must be submitted electronically to bids@dataservice.org by May 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public bid opening occurring at the same date and time. The contract period runs from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2027, with renewal options available by mutual agreement. Occupational therapists will not be required to provide services in students' homes, and travel between schools is limited to local distances of 3-5 miles between two school locations. Extended school year (ESY) services are not included in this RFP, and the District will manage and maintain all student health information and records.

The District currently employs three (3) full-time vendor-supplied occupational therapists during the 2025-26 school year, though the expected amount needed for 2026-27 is unsure and will be based on student needs. The District is satisfied with incumbent suppliers, and distribution of contractor needs to vendors post-award will be determined after the RFP is awarded, with point-of-contact information provided at that time. All contractors must obtain a Delaware Professional License as an Occupational Therapist, hold a Master's degree, and provide evidence of criminal background clearance. Proposals must include an hourly rate covering all occupational therapy services, and contractors must secure general liability and professional liability insurance in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 with a Certificate of Insurance provided before work commences. Bid and performance bond requirements are waived, and the District reserves the right to award the contract to multiple vendors and to terminate with thirty days' written notice.
