About this file
This is a Sole Source Justification Form submitted by Reynolds School District's Special Education Department to procure Speech Language Pathology services from Ampersand Therapy, LLC. The district is seeking to contract with Ampersand Therapy to provide Speech Language Pathology services equivalent to 0.6 FTE (full-time equivalent) for the remainder of the 2023-24 school year at a cost of $30,573. The justification for sole source procurement is based on the district's inability to fill Speech Language Pathologist vacancies through competitive recruitment. The positions were posted daily beginning in September 2023, all interested candidates were vetted and interviewed, and the position was offered to multiple qualified individuals, but none accepted. Lindsay Andreu, the SLP employed by Ampersand Therapy, has previous experience working with Reynolds School District and is available to commence services immediately through the end of the school year.
The sole source procurement was authorized on February 15, 2024, and falls under the category of services available from only one source based on the contractor's prior relationship with the district and immediate availability. The $30,573 cost represents contracted services rather than competitive bidding, with the justification supported by documented recruitment efforts demonstrating the unavailability of alternative qualified candidates. No performance bonds, prevailing wage compliance, or set-aside designations were noted in this sole source justification document. The authorization was approved by Frank Caropelo and required submission to the district's procurement department at procurement@rsd7.net for final processing.
