Physical Therapy Services

The Central Consolidated School District (CCSD) in San Juan County, New Mexico, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for Physical Therapy Services to support students with disabilities across fifteen school facilities serving approximately 4,500 students, including a substantial bilingual population and early childhood preschools, covering nearly 3,000 square miles. The procurement seeks qualified individuals or agencies licensed as Physical Therapists in New Mexico to provide direct and indirect services, educationally relevant evaluations, assessment preparation, physical therapy delivery with environmental adaptations, assistive technology procurement and implementation, staff training, transition planning, and progress reporting. Qualified proposers must hold a current New Mexico Physical Therapist license, possess licensure from the New Mexico State Department of Education if applicable, maintain a Medicaid NPI number, and complete fingerprinting and background checks prior to service commencement with recertification every two years. The contract period covers the 2026-2027 fiscal year (July 1 through June 30) with three optional renewal years through June 30, 2030, based on available funds and satisfactory performance, with work structured at 37.5 hours per week across five days or 185 contract calendar days not to exceed 6,937.5 hours annually. Pricing must be submitted as a fully loaded hourly composite rate including personnel services, overhead costs, fringe benefits, travel, and per diem expenses. Evaluation criteria include personnel qualifications (20 points), experience and philosophy (20 points), licensure documentation (10 points), support and coverage plans (15 points), intercultural sensitivity (10 points), cost proposals (25 points), and oral presentation if required (50 points). Critical deadlines include acknowledgement form submission and written questions by April 17, 2026, district responses by April 20, 2026, and proposal submission by April 28, 2026, at 3:00 PM Mountain Time via the Bonfire eBidding portal.

New Mexico Resident Business Preferences of up to 10% and Resident Veteran Business Preferences of up to 10% apply to proposers holding valid certification from the New Mexico Department of Taxation and Revenue. Mandatory insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation coverage, Public Liability insurance with a minimum general liability of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and Professional Liability coverage of $2,000,000 per occurrence and aggregate. All contractors must comply with Board of Education policies, public education department guidelines, and state and federal laws, with contract performance commencing upon execution and issuance of a Purchase Order. The RFP documentation does not identify any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specific budget ranges; however, the fully loaded hourly composite rate structure indicates that compensation will reflect actual hours worked within the established annual cap of 6,937.5 hours rather than guaranteed full-time employment, making the total contract value contingent on service utilization and hourly pricing submitted by proposers.
