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 Speech Language Therapy Services (RFP# 4-26-68). The addendum, dated April 17, 2026, modifies the original RFP specifications and clarifies bidder inquiries regarding service delivery and contract requirements. Proposals are due electronically by May 6, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public bid opening to follow immediately. The contract period runs from August 3, 2026, through August 2, 2027, with options for renewal by mutual agreement. The district operates on a school calendar consisting of 188 school days per year with 7.0-hour school days. The addendum confirms that vendors may only bid on disciplines explicitly listed in the RFP and that service delivery must be in-person, as the district does not prefer teletherapy options at this time. The anticipated award date is approximately one month after bid opening, contingent upon committee review and board approval. Service coordinator contact information will be provided to successful vendors following award.
The addendum provides historical pricing data from four previous vendors to guide bidder proposals, with hourly rates ranging from $62.50 to $92.00 depending on discipline and specialization. Past vendors included Light Street Special Education Solutions, Pediatric Therapeutic Services (DBA Kelly Services), The Speech Clinic, and The Stepping Stones Group, which collectively contracted approximately 25 speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, and school psychologists during the current school year. The district indicates ongoing need for speech-language pathologists and school psychologists but notes uncertainty regarding overall therapy volume requirements for the upcoming year. Electronic signatures are acceptable for bid documents, and resumes are not required as part of submissions. District personnel may not be used as references. The addendum does not specify set-asides or restrictions targeting disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent vendors are identified as protected under current contract terms.
