Austin ISD – Request for Proposals 20RFP026 Speech Therapy, Occupational and Physical Therapy, Evaluation and Related Special

Education Services

I. INTRODUCTION

The Austin Independent School District (herein after referred to as “AISD” or the “District”) is seeking proposals

from individual consultants or firms qualified and experienced in providing therapeutic/educational services.

The vendors will have direct contact with students and/or campus personnel delivering curriculum, coaching

or influencing instruction in the above mentioned areas. The scope of work may be completed by highly

qualified licensed professionals and/or educational consultants such as speech-language pathologists (SLP),

occupational therapists (OT), physical therapists (PT), music therapists, licensed specialists in school psychology

(LSSPs), audiologists, educational diagnosticians, and special education consultants who provide multilingual

counseling, observations, assessments and evaluations. The purpose of this Request for Proposals (RFP)

is to expand the current pool of acceptable providers and multiple contract awards may be made.

Austin ISD educates more than 80,000 students and embraces 129 diverse school communities in one

of the fastest-growing, ever-changing metroplexes in the country. In partnership with parents and our

community, Austin ISD's mission is to provide a comprehensive educational experience that is high

quality, challenging, and inspires all students to make a positive contribution to society. We partner

with world-class universities, innovative businesses and nonprofit organizations and engaged

community leaders to prepare our students for college, career and life.

The District will use the objective criteria specified within to review proposals and will select multiple

providers that meet the requirements of the RFP. If selected, individual consultants or firms will be

included in a catalog of approved service providers which is maintained by the Special Education

Department. Providers may be removed for the catalog subject to the conditions specified within,

failure to adhere to the responsibilities included, failure to adhere to contract, or debarment or

suspension from doing business by any local, state (including the Texas Education Agency), or federal

governments.

Any agreement issued as a result of this RFP does not guarantee any minimum amount of service or

payment. A Service Agreement with AISD will not be issued unless the Special Education department

initiates a request for services. A provider shall not perform services for AISD without a fully executed

agreement and the issuance of a Purchase Order. A provider will be compensated by AISD for services

satisfactorily performed in accordance with contract requirements. A sample of AISD’s Service

Agreement is available on our website for your review, but should not be completed.

Service providers must be in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations. The provision of

services pursuant to 34 CFR 300.138 and 300.139 through 300.143 must be provided by employees

of a public agency or through contract by the public agency with an individual, association, agency,

organization, or other entity. [34 CFR 300.138(c)(1)] [20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(10)(A)(vi)(I)]. Special education

and related services provided to parentally-placed private school children with disabilities, including

materials and equipment, must be secular, neutral, and non-ideological. [34 CFR 300.138(c)(2)] [20

U.S.C. 1412(a)(10)(A)(vi)].

II. HISTORICALLY UNDERUTILIZED BUSINESS (HUB) PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS

The HUB Program promotes and strongly encourages the involvement and participation of

Historically Underutilized Businesses in District-wide procurements. According to AISD

policies CH (LOCAL) and CV (LOCAL), the HUB Program guidelines are not applicable for

this type procurement.

AISD is a large urban district seeking licensed professionals to provide the therapeutic and

educational services based on student needs. AISD currently contracts with licensed SLP’s,

OT’s, PT’s, and educational consultants to provide special education services for students

with disabilities placed by their parents in private schools (Proportionate Share Services).

Related service providers incorporate speech therapy, OT and/or PT within the private school,

home or clinical setting. Educational consultants are certified teachers that provide

consultative services and training to private school teachers and personnel about disabilities,

specific strategies for instruction including accommodations and methods for differentiating

instruction.

AISD hires fully licensed SLP’s, OT’s, PT’s and certified teachers. AISD does not use SLP

assistants, certified OT assistants nor PT assistants at this time. Clinical SLP Fellows may

be considered if fully licensed SLPs are not available. Additionally, AISD contracts for

bilingual Spanish speech therapy for elementary campuses that currently do not have a

bilingual SLP assigned, or to provide related services when AISD staff is out on extended

leave. AISD has approximately 200 students who receive contract services ranging from 1-2

hours per week depending on the students’ IEP or ISP.

Vendors are required to provide any/all materials, technology and office supplies. Related

service providers may use district testing materials and protocols. District internet and student

access is provided as determined by service agreement and the scope of work. Contract

providers will receive orientation and training based on their scope of work and service

agreement. AISD uses an electronic data system called “SEEDS”. Training will be provided

as needed. Hours of therapy may range from 5-40 per week based on scope of service

agreement. The largest service group would be Speech Therapy with OT/PT a much smaller

amount of hours. The services are based on IEPs and ISPs which vary and fluctuate

throughout the school year. Related service providers may provide services for students

ranging from 5-21 years of age and caseload depends on scope of work.

Payment will be made according to the District Comptroller’s published Accounts Payable

schedule. Typically, payment is net 30 days after receipt of invoice. Service rates per hour

charged should be reasonable and customary. Mileage and travel expenses will not be

reimbursed by AISD.

 Certified Teachers to provide instructional support and/or instructional consultation

according to student’s ISP. All services are provided based on the ARD committee’s

recommendation and therefore all medical orders will be obtained through AISD.

 Services provided to these students will be individual therapy sessions based on their

ISP. Providers will submit a progress report based on student goals from the ISP as

well as a detailed invoice by the 15

th

of each month. Progress report should reflect

quantifiable progress on specific goals outlined in the student’s IEP. Progress reports

that do not meet these criteria will be returned therefore subsequent payment may be

delayed.

personnel and parents in order to generalize instructional support. A professional

development plan based on campus/student needs would include a syllabus, sign in

sheets, agenda and invoices on a monthly basis.

EDGAR CERTIFICATIONS

ADDENDUM FOR CONTRACT FUNDED BY U.S. FEDERAL GRANT

(NON-CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS)

This EDGAR Certifications addendum (“Addendum”) is made a part of a contract (“Contract”) between the Austin Independent School District

(“Austin ISD” or “District”) and the vendor (“Vendor”), where such contract and Vendor are referenced on the last page of this Addendum. The

following certifications and provisions are required and apply when Austin ISD expends federal funds for any contract resulting from this

procurement process. Accordingly, the parties agree that the following terms and conditions are incorporated and made a part of the

Contract in all situations where Vendor has been paid or will be paid with federal funds. Where there is a conflict between the terms

of this Addendum and the terms of the underlying Contract, the terms of this Addendum shall prevail.

I. REQUIRED CONTRACT PROVISIONS FOR NON-FEDERAL ENTITY CONTRACTS UNDER FEDERAL AWARDS

APPENDIX II TO 2 CFR PART 200

(A) Contracts for more than the simplified acquisition threshold currently set at $150,000, which is the inflation adjusted amount

determined by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council (Councils) as authorized

by 41 U.S.C. 1908, must address administrative, contractual, or legal remedies in instances where contractors violate or breach

contract terms, and provide for such sanctions and penalties as appropriate.

Pursuant to Federal Rule (A) above, when Austin ISD expends federal funds, Austin ISD reserves all rights and privileges under the

applicable laws and regulations with respect to this procurement in the event of breach of contract by either party.

________ Initials of Authorized Representative of Vendor

(B) Termination for cause and for convenience by the grantee or subgrantee including the manner by which it will be effected and

the basis for settlement. (All contracts in excess of $10,000)

1. Termination for Cause: Pursuant to Federal Rule (B) above, when Austin ISD expends federal funds, Austin ISD reserves the

right to immediately terminate any contract in excess of $10,000 resulting from this procurement process in the event of a breach

or default of the agreement by Vendor in the event Vendor fails to: (1) meet schedules, deadlines, and/or delivery dates within

the time specified in the procurement solicitation, contract, and/or a purchase order; (2) make any payments owed; or (3)

otherwise perform in accordance with the contract and/or the procurement solicitation.

2. Termination for Non-Appropriation of Funds for Multi-year or Multiple-year Contracts: Performance by Austin ISD under

the Contract for years subsequent to the current may be dependent upon the appropriation and allotment of funds by the Texas

State Legislature (the “Legislature”), allocation of funds by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”), and/or, if the Contract is funded

fully or partially by Federal grant awards, the receipt of the Notice of Grant Award (“NOGA”). If the Legislature fails to appropriate

or allot the necessary funds, the Board fails to allocate the necessary funds, and/or there is a change in the NOGA, then the

District may terminate this Contract without further duty or obligation under the Contract.

3. Termination for Convenience: Austin ISD also reserves the right to terminate the contract immediately upon written notice to

Vendor for convenience, with or without cause, if Austin ISD believes in its sole discretion that it is in the best interest of Austin

ISD to do so.

If the contract is terminated in accordance with any of the terms referenced in Section (B) above, Austin ISD shall compensate

Vendor for any work performed and accepted and goods accepted by Austin ISD as of the termination date. Any award under this

procurement process is not exclusive and Austin ISD reserves the right to purchase goods and/or services from other vendors when

it is in Austin ISD’s best interest.
