Supplemental School Psychological Services

The Colonial School District and Red Clay Consolidated School District are seeking Supplemental School Psychological Services through Request for Proposal (RFP) 4-25-47, with the primary objective of securing full-time equivalent school psychologists to provide comprehensive services to students aged 3-21 under IDEA. Selected contractors will be responsible for conducting psychoeducational evaluations, functional behavior assessments, individual and group services, developing Behavior Intervention Plans, creating reports, and supporting the Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS). The contract period spans from August 4, 2025, through August 3, 2028, with potential renewal options for subsequent full years. Proposals are due by July 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM and must be submitted electronically to bids@dataservice.org. The evaluation criteria for vendor selection includes cost to run the program (40%), ability to service a broad range of student circumstances/events (30%), and contractor experience (30%). Bidders must submit a comprehensive budget outlining service costs and the optimal number of students they can serve, with all administrative expenses incorporated into the hourly rate.

Contractors must provide general liability and professional liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 and submit three business references. The districts reserve the right to award the contract to multiple vendors and maintain the ability to terminate the contract with a 30-day written notice. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the documentation, potential vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their capability to serve diverse student populations across both school districts. The RFP does not specify an exact budget range, but vendors will be expected to propose competitive pricing that reflects their ability to deliver comprehensive psychological services efficiently. Interested contractors should carefully review the full RFP document to understand the complete scope of requirements and ensure their proposal meets all specified criteria for delivering high-quality supplemental school psychological services.
