ANSWERS TO REQUESTS FOR CLARIFICATIONS:

(26 RFI’s were received)

Q: Does the District have existing student survey data regarding preferences for enrichment programming that

can be shared? (Think Together)

A: The District does not currently have student survey data regarding preferences for enrichment

programming.

Q: May proposers submit multiple pricing worksheets to reflect different pricing options within each category?

(Think Together)

A: The District is requesting hourly rates from proposers to allow for efficient cost comparison &

evaluation between proposals submitted. Multiple pricing worksheets reflecting different pricing

options will make it difficult to complete that comparison.

Q: Can the District provide anticipated Average Daily Attendance (ADA) estimates for each site? (Think

Together)

A: The Average Daily Attendance (ADA )for each site varies but typically ranges from 160 - 250.

Q: While reviewing the RFP we noticed language stating that offsite program may be needed, can you confirm

vendors will be operating on district campuses? (Think Together)

A: Programs will be operating on district campuses in partnership with District EXCEL Staff.

Q: Is there an option to receive an initial deposit upon contract execution? (Think Together)

A: No, payment must be made after services are rendered. The District cannot Pre-Pay for services.

Q: Can you confirm the invoice requirements listed on Page 5, or share a sample billing description? (Think

Together)

A: In order to efficiently process invoices the District expects monthly invoices accompanied with a log of

employee names, hours and site serviced for each day. This will ensure that invoice amounts are verified

and submitted promptly to our accounting department for payment processing.

Q: Would the District consider allowing semi-monthly invoicing aligned with payroll cycles to help support

timely cash flow? (Think Together)

A: No, monthly invoices after services are rendered are required.

Q: Is there a certain section of my proposal where I expound about my program? Or a Proposal Outline that is

preferred to submit my proposal? (PeacemakerZ Poetry Experience Program)

A: The District does not have a Proposal Outline. Additional Program Information is expected to be

included with your submitted proposal in any format.

Q: The RFP states "Programs should be between 3 and 6 hours per day" - are different groups of students rotating

clubs every 45 minutes to an hour or are after school providers hosting the same students and same club for 3- 6

hours? (Yogativity Learning)

A: For the intents and purposes of this RFP, please submit an hourly rate along with the operating cost of

a typical class. If your class is typically an hour, then include the operating cost of 3 classes in the

one class.

Q: The RFP mentions "snack support" - could you please clarify who supplies the snack and if the vendor should

include a snack budget in response? (Yogativity Learning)

A: The District will supply the snacks for students. Vendors will be responsible for taking students

through the snack line and allowing them time to eat snack.

Q: The RFP mentions Staff is required to attend monthly staff meeting and a training week – how many hours is

the monthly meeting and how many hours is the training? (Yogativity Learning)

Monthly staff meeting are typically 1 hour per month. Staff Meetings and Training Hours may vary.

The District is requesting Hourly Rates from Proposers to ensure those hours are compensated

accordingly.

Q: Are vendors expected to function primarily as enrichment providers delivering specialized classes, or as

instructional/support staff integrated into the daily after-school program structure? Is this a HYBRID situation

where staff should be able to do both functions? (Arc)

A: Both functions may be requested. For the intents and purposes of this RFP, please submit an hourly

rate along with the operating cost of a typical class.

Q: To what extent are vendors responsible for general program duties such as supervision, transitions, snack

distribution, and attendance, versus focusing solely on delivering enrichment content? (Arc)

A: Please refer to the Scope Of Services (page 2) of the RFP. Expected services are outlined.

Q: Should proposed staffing models and pricing reflect a classroom-based enrichment model, or a broader

program staffing model aligned with EXCEL site operations? (Arc)

A: The District is requesting hourly rates for classroom-based enrichment mode from proposers to allow

for efficient cost comparison & evaluation between proposals submitted.

Q: Are proposed hourly rates intended to represent the cost per instructor, or the cost to deliver services to a full

student group/class? If a full group, how many students is considered “a full group”? (Arc)

A: It is the cost per instructor with the amount to deliver to a group of up to 20:1 in 1st - 8th and 10:1 in

TK/K built into the hourly rate.

Q: Should vendors assume specific student group sizes when calculating hourly rates, particularly given the

required ratios of 10:1 for TK/K and 20:1 for grades 1–8? (Arc)

A: Yes, it is the cost per instructor with the amount to deliver to a group of up to 20:1 in 1st -8th and 10:1

in TK/K built into the hourly rate.

Q: If staffing needs vary by grade level (e.g., TK/K requiring additional staff to meet ratio requirements), may

vendors define their hourly rate based on a specified number of students or staffing model and should we just

footnote that in the pricing chart? (Arc)

A: The proposal form contains different sections for TK/K and 1st – 8th grade.

Q: Based on the scope, we believe our program may align with multiple categories. Please let me know if there

is a preferred category or if multiple selections are acceptable? (Lift Enrichment)

A: Multiple categories are acceptable.

Q: Are we able to add a cover letter? Is the section “info required of proposers "where we add the narrative to

address scope and evaluation factors? I do not see any specific questions that relate to that, so I wanted to make

sure I wasn't missing anything. I know we can add pages, but is there a page restriction for this? (Work Ed)

A: Cover letters are encouraged. There is no restriction on pages included with your proposal submittal.

Q: Can I add extra sheets for the budget page, as we have more than 1 price per category? (Work Ed)

hourly rates from proposers to allow for efficient cost comparison & evaluation between proposals.
