About this file

This is a scoring rubric document developed by the City of St. Petersburg's Education & Youth Opportunities department for evaluating proposals submitted in response to the CIVICx Internships contract opportunity. The City seeks qualified organizations to implement innovative internship models connecting youth ages 16 to 24 to real civic challenges while building leadership, financial awareness, and sense of purpose. Selected organizations must coordinate with the Pinellas County Schools Office of Strategic Partnerships and/or Career, Technical and Adult Education to ensure alignment with existing efforts and identify unique service gaps. The rubric does not specify response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, award dates, or contract terms; these details would be contained in the corresponding request for proposal or solicitation document.

The scoring rubric evaluates proposals across eight criteria, each assessed on a four-tier scale ranging from "Exceeds Expectations" (10-9 points) to "Not Evident" (2-0 points). Evaluation categories include Internship Program Design and Implementation, Leadership Mentorship and Curriculum Integration, Financial Wellbeing and Career Development, Community Foundation Engagement, Evidence of Experience in Civic Engagement, Evaluation Strategy and Data Collection, Partnerships and Support, and Budget and Timeline Alignment. The rubric emphasizes structured program design with clear compensation and civic integration, robust curriculum aligned with state standards, practical financial education and career pathways, community foundation and philanthropy engagement, documented experience with measurable outcomes, comprehensive evaluation methods, strong community partnerships with support letters, and realistic budgets aligned with proposed activities and timelines. No pricing information, set-asides, incumbent information, or specific funding amounts are detailed in this scoring document.
