Solicitation

PIN#R1191040 Due:

The New York City Department of Education (DOE) strives to give all businesses, including Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs), an equal opportunity to compete for DOE procurements. The DOE’s mission is to provide equal access to procurement opportunities for all qualified vendors, including MWBEs, from all segments of the community. The DOE works to enhance the ability of MWBEs to compete for contracts. DOE is committed to ensuring that MWBEs fully participate in the procurement process.
Description

The New
York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) intends to conduct an innovative
procurement through the release of a Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation seeking
proposals from community-based organizations
(Lead CBOs) to work with schools to implement the Community School strategy in
approximately 164 NYCDOE schools ranging from elementary, middle, and high
school.  The value of this procurement
will be dependent on the number of proposals received and awards based on several factors, including enrollment size and
grade configuration (elementary, middle, high school).

 Due to the
complexities of the community school model, the NYCDOE believes it is in its
best interest to have the assigned principal and School Leadership Team (SLT) for each school to have input in the final award selection for this RFP,
thus ensuring the needs of the school are being met and that the program is customized
to the needs of the students and community. The principals and the SLTs are
best acquainted with the special services and resources required in their
community schools’ neighborhoods and are best positioned to make the final
selection of viable proposals to create strong partnerships between the school
community and the CBO.

 The
evaluation of proposals will be done through a two-step evaluation process. Proposals
received in response to this RFP will first be evaluated based on criteria
articulated in the solicitation. The three highest scored proposals in each
competition (school or school campus) will advance to the next step of the
evaluation process.  In step two, the
final selection for award will be made by principals and their SLT representatives
at each of the school sites, based on a one-on-one interview using objective
criteria to determine the best fit for their school and contingent on the NYCDOE’s
final responsibility determination.

 In 2014,
the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) procured these
services on behalf of the NYCDOE using an innovative procurement method to
allow principals to make award selections. 
As the NYCDOE is now procuring the new services, we are using the same
innovative procurement method based on the same process that DYCD used when it
managed the procurement in the initial RFP.

 Written
comments on this proposed innovative procurement method should be emailed to copcontracts@schools.nyc.gov
with the title and PIN in the subject line of your email by August 25, 2020.  Any comments/expressions of interests
received will be evaluated based on award selection criteria set forth in the
RFP for service implementation.

order to download the RFP and submit a proposal.  The PASSPort link can be found here:
