About this opportunity
DeKalb County School District (DCSD) in Georgia issued RFP 24-562 to procure comprehensive educational services for a Paraprofessional to Teacher Residency Education Program. The program is designed to enable current paraprofessionals employed by the district to earn bachelor's degrees in Elementary Education, Special Education, or other teaching areas through an apprenticeship-based educator advancement model. The selected offeror must be a state-approved Educator Preparation Provider (EPP), with out-of-state providers required to demonstrate existing Georgia reciprocity eligibility. Key program deliverables include job-embedded coursework, portfolio-based unit assessments, coaching services, and structured learning cohorts delivered via a secure online platform, with participants required to possess an associate degree or 60 credit hours from an accredited institution. The evaluation criteria weighted proposals on firm overview (15 points), scope of services (25 points), relevant experience and expertise (25 points), professional references (15 points), proposal quality and completeness (5 points), and cost proposal (15 points). The cost proposal must provide firm fixed prices for tuition and fees for 50 paraprofessionals, textbooks and supplies, licensure assessments, and miscellaneous expenses. The mandatory questions deadline was September 18, 2023, at 12:00 PM with responses posted by September 20, 2023. The proposal submission deadline was September 29, 2023, at 2:00 PM via the IonWave electronic portal, with a virtual public acknowledgement scheduled for the same day at 3:00 PM.
The procurement did not specify set-asides or restrictions on entity types, and no disadvantaged enterprise designations were identified. No incumbent contractor or existing service provider was listed in the solicitation documents. The initial contract term was scheduled from January 2024 through June 30, 2024, with four optional one-year renewal periods subject to DeKalb County Board of Education approval and funding availability. The successful offeror, Bloomboard, Inc., was awarded on October 12, 2023, with a maximum contract amount not to exceed $788,050. Required insurance coverage includes workers' compensation, commercial general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability, professional liability or errors and omissions of $2,000,000 per claim, and commercial umbrella or excess liability of $2,000,000. All services must comply with Georgia's Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act of 2011, and vendors must complete E-Verify requirements and contractor affidavits.
