About this file
This is a scoring rubric document issued by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida in collaboration with Pinellas County Schools Office of Strategic Partnerships for the "Parent Pathways—Navigating Learning Together" program (RFP-25-307). The City seeks proposals from organizations to deliver comprehensive programming that helps parents and caregivers overcome barriers to supporting their children's academic success for families with children in elementary and middle school. Proposed programs must include at-home literacy and academic extension resources, parent engagement activities, and may include support for parent wellbeing. Programs should be evidence-based, culturally relevant, and responsive to the diverse needs of St. Petersburg families. The non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 9, 2025, with proposals due on November 4, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The anticipated City Council recommendation for award is January 8, 2026. The contract term is up to two academic years, with no renewal options specified.
The scoring rubric evaluates proposals across eight criteria: Program Design and Implementation, Parent Engagement and Enrichment, Resource Development and Distribution, Evidence-Based Practice and Innovation, Evaluation and Impact Tracking, Partnerships and Support, and Budget and Timeline Alignment. Each criterion is scored on a scale of 10-9 (Exceeds Expectations), 8-6 (Meets Expectations), 5-3 (Below Expectations), and 2-0 (Not Evident). The total award amount is up to $95,000 and may span up to two academic years. Allowable expenses include staff salaries, benefits, curriculum materials, technology tools, guest speakers, transportation assistance, and engagement support. The RFP offers additional bonus points for small businesses, minority-owned, and women-owned business enterprises certified by the City of St. Petersburg, with 2% bonus points available for each certification. Evaluation criteria heavily weight the firm's experience (29%) and staff qualifications (29%), with additional points available for work capacity, program design, and past performance. Successful respondents must demonstrate expertise in working with schools, particularly Pinellas County Schools, and show capability in designing linguistically accessible and culturally relevant programs.
