School Speech Language Pathologists

Crook County School District in Oregon is issuing an Invitation to Bid to procure School Speech Language Pathologist services through three bidding options: Option A for one full-time pathologist, Option B for one full-time and one part-time pathologist, or Option C for one part-time pathologist. The contract term runs from September 8, 2026, through June 17, 2026, with personnel required to provide services for 173 days at 8 hours per day during student attendance, plus any additional hours as estimated and included in proposals. Respondents must submit sealed bids by 3:00 pm on Thursday, June 4, 2026, with public opening of bids occurring immediately thereafter. Required qualifications include a current Professional School Speech Language Pathologist License in Oregon, criminal history background clearance, and completion of sexual conduct training. Priority consideration will be given to respondents who already have a School Speech Language Pathologist in place and those able to provide in-person rather than virtual services. Pricing must be submitted as either an hourly rate or daily rate with disclosure of any additional fees, and awards will be made within seven days of proposal opening or within seven days of School Board approval, whichever is later. Sealed bids must be delivered by hand or mail service to Anna Logan, Chief Financial Officer, at the District Office in Prineville, Oregon.

The solicitation does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, nor does it identify disadvantaged enterprise preferences or incumbent vendors. Contractors must maintain professional liability and Commercial General Liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 general aggregate, and must comply with ORS 656.017 regarding workers' compensation insurance. The District reserves the right to reject any or all bids, award to multiple contractors, and split awards when prices are equal, while declining to honor price increase requests or assume responsibility for additional taxes, surcharges, or fees beyond the contractual agreement. No specific budget range or award value is provided in the solicitation materials, leaving compensation to be determined through the competitive bidding process based on submitted rates and scope selections.
