MTSS RTI Online Training Modules

The South Dakota Department of Education's Division of Special Education and Early Learning is seeking a qualified vendor to develop approximately 10 online training modules for the state's Multi-Tiered System of Support - Response To Intervention (MTSS RTI) Initiative. The project requires creating professional training modules that will be 30 minutes to one hour in length, incorporating active engagement and participation components, and compatible with the South Dakota Learning Management System. Proposals are due by 5:00 PM CT on June 14, 2023, with the contract anticipated to start in July 2023 and run through September 30, 2023, with potential one-year extension options. The selected consultant will be required to meet with the State on an agreed-upon schedule, share draft module materials for review and revision, and provide detailed line-item invoicing for deliverables. Potential bidders must submit comprehensive proposals that demonstrate qualifications, experience, and a detailed budget, with all inquiries directed to Rochelle Kenzy at Rochelle.Kenzy@state.sd.us using the subject line "RFP # 23RFP8754".

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The maximum budget for this project is $100,000, with all work required to be completed by December 1, 2023. Vendors must complete a Contractor Certification as required by South Dakota Executive Order 2023-02, certifying they are not a "Prohibited Entity" and agreeing to provide immediate written notice if their status changes during the contract period. The State reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and potentially divide the services into multiple contracts if deemed in the best interest of the state. Consultants are strictly prohibited from contacting any State of South Dakota employees other than the buyer of record during the solicitation and evaluation process, with inappropriate contacts potentially resulting in suspension or exclusion from the procurement. The proposal should include supporting documentation on qualifications and experience, with the State expecting a comprehensive and detailed submission that meets all specified requirements.
