Proposals must include a proposed hourly rate for school psychological services and a comprehensive budget that encompasses all administrative costs including clerk, accounting, and billing functions. Award decisions will be evaluated on six criteria: experience providing similar services (0-20 points), ability to serve diverse student needs including multilingual learners (0-20 points), ability to provide professional learning and staff support (0-15 points), hourly rates (0-15 points), staff supervision including performance and licensure verification (0-15 points), and administrative support capabilities (0-15 points). The contract period runs from August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2027, with options to renew for subsequent full years by mutual agreement, and the district reserves the right to award the contract to multiple vendors if deemed in its best interest.

The RFP does not identify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting the types of organizations that can respond, nor are disadvantaged enterprise requirements specified in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are listed in the procurement materials. The district reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time with thirty days' written notice and incurs no early termination charges, providing flexibility in the vendor relationship. Specific bid deposit or performance bond requirements are waived for this procurement. No specific budget range or award value has been disclosed in the RFP documentation; however, the scope and hourly rate structure will ultimately determine contract value based on the district's service needs across the six identified programs.
