Tooele County School District is seeking proposals for two independent contractor onsite school psychologist positions through a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation. The procurement aims to secure comprehensive psychoeducational evaluation services across the district's 27 school campuses, with contractors required to perform comprehensive assessments in compliance with IDEA and Utah State Board of Education regulations. Mandatory qualifications include a Utah State Board of Education Professional License, a graduate degree from a NASP or APA-accredited school psychology program, at least five years of onsite school psychology experience, and location within 60 miles of the district office. Contractors must provide direct student support including behavioral assessments and interventions, participate in special education meetings, consult with teachers and parents, and maintain professional development. The proposal evaluation will be conducted in three stages: an initial responsiveness review, a technical proposal evaluation worth 75 points (assessing qualifications, experience, capacity, and references), and a cost proposal evaluation worth 25 points. Key deadlines include a December 19, 2025, 5:00 PM MST deadline for questions and a January 2, 2026, 5:00 PM MST deadline for proposal submissions, with contract award notification anticipated on January 21, 2026.

The contract is structured as a multi-year agreement renewable annually for up to five years, with performance reviews after the first school year and potential renegotiation of subsequent year terms. The initial contract period runs from January 1, 2026, to June 30, 2026, with three potential renewal years through June 30, 2029. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, contractors must comply with anti-discrimination requirements and register with the E-Verify system. Contractors will be required to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation and commercial general liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $3,000,000 aggregate. The contract will be governed by Utah law, with venue in Salt Lake City's Third Judicial District Court. Pricing information is considered public, and all submitted materials become the property of Tooele County School District. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the cost proposal will be based on a fixed hourly rate with yearly cost proposals for the initial and potential renewal periods.
