Expanded Learning Opportunities After School Program 26-27

The Menifee Union School District is seeking qualified vendors to deliver an Expanded Learning Opportunities After School Program for the 2026–2027 school year under solicitation number 2026-RFP-0037, with proposals due by June 3, 2026. The program serves over 12,000 students across up to 16 school sites—including 11 elementary, two K–8, and three middle schools—and requires daily programming of at least two hours for elementary grades and one hour and fifteen minutes for middle school students, once weekly, aligned with the California Department of Education’s Quality Standards for Expanded Learning Programs. Vendors must detail staffing plans with certified staff holding valid TB tests and fingerprint clearances, maintain staff-to-student ratios of 1:20 for grades 1–8 and 1:10 for TK/K, and ensure all operations adhere to the twelve programmatic standards focused on safety, active learning, youth leadership, equity, and continuous improvement. Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF not exceeding twenty pages, including cover letter, table of contents, and appendices, through the designated ProcureNow portal; paper submissions and late responses will be rejected. Evaluation will prioritize program alignment with district needs at 30%, followed by price at 25%, approach and methodology at 15%, similar project experience at 15%, references at 10%, and collaborative improvement planning at 5%, totaling a 100-point scoring system using a 0-to-5 scale per factor. The award will be made based on best overall value through a trade-off methodology, not solely on lowest price. Vendors must submit a non-collusion affidavit, covenant against gratuities, and proof of insurance including $1 million general liability, $1 million professional liability, $5 million sexual abuse coverage, and workers’ compensation with district as additional insured. All personnel are classified as independent contractors, not district employees. No contract value is disclosed, pricing is to be proposed by respondents, and no federal accounting codes, CLINs, or FOB terms are provided. The district will not specify a COR, COTR, or PCO, and payment procedures, invoicing methods, and delivery timelines beyond the school year (August 2026–May 2027) are not outlined, though performance is expected to conform to the district’s academic calendar, including Minimum Days and
