Request for Proposals - District Level C Self Contained Special Education Classroom Teacher

The Fargo Public School District, located in Cass County, North Dakota, is issuing a Request for Proposals to procure in-person instruction services from a qualified certified special education teacher for a District Level C Self Contained Special Education Classroom. The District operates approximately 11,300 K-12 students across sixteen elementary schools, three middle schools, three high schools, one alternative high school, one K-8 special education day school, and one virtual school. The scope of services requires one full-time in-person certified special education teacher to deliver direct instruction, case management, data collection, progress monitoring, IEP meeting attendance, standardized assessments, and on-site consultation with general education teachers and paraeducators. The contract term runs from August 19, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with options to renew for up to two additional calendar years. Proposals must be submitted exclusively through the Euna Procurement (Bonfire) Portal at https://fargok12.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities by May 7, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., with Board approval scheduled for May 26, 2026. Evaluation will be based on a 100-point scoring system emphasizing in-person services provided on-site (25%), firm experience with similar school systems (25%), assigned staff experience (20%), quality and relevance of at least three references (10%), and understanding of services and methodology (20%). The award will be given to the lowest responsible bid meeting all specifications, though price alone will not determine the winner.
