About this file
This document is an Addendum 01 from the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) capturing the Pre-Bid Conference Questions and Answers for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. 2025-26 held on March 27, 2025. The RFQ seeks approximately 22 Continuous Improvement Partners (CIPs) for the 2025-26 contract period, with contracts spanning from August 1, 2025, through July 31, 2026. The virtual pre-bid conference addressed key details about the procurement, including that Phase II will be conducted virtually, and contracts will range from 180-220 days of service delivery. Proposals are encouraged by April 7, 2025, and the RFQ will be posted annually.
The document confirms that the CIP role will maintain the same Continuous Improvement Framework with an increased focus on Local Education Agency (LEA) level supports. Contractors will be expected to work full-time, with flexibility for new hires ramping up to full involvement. While specific pricing is not detailed in this addendum, the RFQ indicates contractors will be compensated at $85 per hour. The procurement encourages collaboration between organizations, with the stipulation that only one comprehensive proposal should be submitted even if multiple entities are working together. All procurement-related documents and updates will be posted on the OSPI website and the Washington Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) website, with additional questions to be submitted to contracts@K12.wa.us.

This document is posted to capture the questions received, and agency answers provided, during the Pre-Bid Conference, which was held on March 27, 2025.
All amendments, addenda, and notifications related to this procurement will be posted on the
OSPI website (if this was an open procurement) and on the Washington Electronic Business
Solution (WEBS) website. Additional questions concerning this procurement must be submitted to contracts@K12.wa.us. Communication directed to other parties will be considered unofficial and non-binding on OSPI, and may result in disqualification of the Consultant.
1. Question: Will this presentation be available on the website?
Answer: A transcript/recording will not be available, but the Q&A portion and
PowerPoint slides will be available through WEBS and on OSPI’s website.
2. Question: Is Phase II in-person or virtual?
Answer: Virtual
3. Question: How many contracts are available?
Answer: 22
4. Question: Will the Exhibit E Contractor Intake Form be posted? It is currently listed as available as an editable Word Document on the OSPI's procurement website, but it seems to be missing.
Answer: The Contract Intake Form is available on OSPI’s website (above the “Current
Procurements” table).
5. Question: If we’re a sole proprietor how do we show that on an org chart?
Answer: You can state simply that you are the responsible party for all activities.
Organizational charts are needed for proposals with sub-contractors to show who will do what and who has ultimate responsibility.
6. Question: Will all contracts be full time or is there flexibility to negotiate hours?
Answer: Full time is the expectation, although there is a range of involvement, especially with new hires getting used to the work. Contracts will be offered with a suggested minimum one hundred eighty (180) and maximum of two hundred twenty (220) days of service delivery for the 2025-26 contract period.

7. Question: On p. 38, it states that Bidders may work with other organizations/businesses to submit one proposal. Would each group answer questions separately or submit one proposal with answers?
Answer: Only submit one answer to each question. The proposing (lead) bidder may work with other organizations/businesses to answer the questions, but only one set of answers should be submitted. For example, if an organization is proposing multiple individuals to serve in a CIP role, there should still only be one set of answers.
8. Question: I’m not hearing significant changes in the kind of service from what CIPs currently do.
Answer: You are hearing well. It’s the same Continuous Improvement Framework, though there will be more of a focus on LEA level supports.
9. Question: Does this RFQ open each year?
Answer: Yes
10. Question: When will the specific dates and locations be known on the schedule of deliverables?
Answer: The sample schedule shown on the RFQ is pretty accurate. The dates of regional meetings might vary. Meeting dates will be solidified closer to the start of the school year and invitations sent to successful bidders.
11. Question: None of the links to the procurement pages work
Answer: It appears this comment was raised is regard to the Certifications and
Assurances, Qualification Affirmation, and Contract Intake Form links on page 74 of the
RFQ, which contains the Proposal Checklist. All of those forms are available on OSPI’s website. Working links for each of those forms can also be found on pages 38, 40, and
69, respectively.
