Development of E-Learning Program

The Calhoun Intermediate School District (CISD) is soliciting proposals for the development of a comprehensive E-Learning Program focused on creating four specialized online courses for statewide field team training. The procurement seeks a vendor to design and develop three 5-hour courses at level 2 interaction and one 5-hour course at level 3 interaction, targeting systemic reconfiguration, comprehensive needs assessments, and multi-tiered systems of support. Specific technical requirements mandate the use of Articulate Storyline 3 or 360 for course development, with courses to be delivered through LifterLMS platform and must comply with WCAG 2.0 Level AA accessibility guidelines. Proposals are due by April 9, 2018, at 5:00 PM, with a final vendor selection anticipated by April 18, 2018. The project timeline requires work to commence no later than April 23, 2018, with full course completion mandated by September 30, 2018. Evaluation criteria will assess vendors based on eLearning development experience, project comprehension, content engagement capabilities, on-time project completion history, pricing competitiveness, and demonstrated accessibility compliance expertise.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The procurement requires comprehensive services including instructional design, course development, media production, learning management system (LMS) integration, and cloud-based server hosting. While specific budget amounts are not disclosed, the RFP requires vendors to submit detailed pricing for course development, LMS setup, and server hosting. The technological infrastructure will necessitate integration with the organization's existing LifterLMS platform, with the selected vendor responsible for ensuring seamless deployment of the four online training courses. The project scope suggests a potentially significant investment in creating specialized, high-interaction e-learning content for statewide field team training, though precise financial parameters are not predetermined in the provided documentation.
