Description

Des Moines Public Schools is seeking proposals for full-scope curriculum materials that support social skills instruction for approximately 4,700 students with disabilities, with particular emphasis on students with significant cognitive disabilities. The curriculum must be implementable across the full continuum of special education services and serve students from preschool through age 21. The district clarified that the $15,000 amount is an initial pilot budget; a successful pilot could lead to fuller implementation, but proposals should address the full scope. Responses must be submitted electronically through the bidding service and include an RFP Response, a signed Sex Offender Acknowledgement, and a Certificate of Insurance. A declaratory order or injunction is required only when the proposal includes confidential or proprietary information; Addendum 1 changed that upload from mandatory to optional. Respondents must also complete required electronic bid attributes addressing contact information, former district employees, Iowa Code Chapter 22 compliance, debarment, and electronic signature.
