Leadership Development & Executive Coaching Program

Clark College is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to develop and deliver a comprehensive leadership development and executive coaching program aimed at emerging and senior leaders within the institution. The initiative, outlined under RFP No. 01_2025, is a multi-year effort with a total budget cap of $200,000, emphasizing program design, delivery, evaluation, and sustainability planning. The project is scheduled to commence in December 2025, with proposals due by November 21, 2025. The scope includes conducting a needs assessment, designing tailored curriculum tracks, providing executive coaching, and creating tools and plans to ensure the program’s long-term sustainability and internal capacity building. Evaluation of proposals will prioritize understanding of the project, relevant experience, curriculum quality, measurement and evaluation plans, and cost-effectiveness, with a weighted emphasis on project understanding and team qualifications. The contractual framework is governed by Clark College’s standard terms, with compliance required under Washington state laws such as the Public Records Act and procurement oversight statutes. The contract will incorporate clauses related to confidentiality, insurance, and legal compliance, but no specific federal acquisition regulation clauses or FAR provisions are referenced. Submission requirements specify that proposals must be consolidated into a single PDF file, formatted with 12-point font and numbered pages, and submitted electronically via email to the designated RFP Coordinator, Lisa Hasart. Vendors are also required to register with Washington’s WEBS system for official communication. Supporting attachments, such as sample materials and client references, are optional and should be included within the proposal, but no explicit specifications or page limits are provided for these supporting documents. The evaluation process will consider technical merit, experience, innovation, and value, with Clark College reserving the right to reject any proposals or amend the solicitation as needed.
