Collaboration for Early Childhood Request for Information, Database Development & Services
- This RFI had a pre-bid event.
The non-profit Collaboration for Early Childhood recently entered into a five-year
contract for early childhood services with Oak Park Elementary School
District 97, Oak Park and River Forest High School District 200, and the
Village of Oak Park to establish a comprehensive, high-quality system of
services. The contract for services calls for: 1) the development of an
information system, 2) the establishment of baseline measures for service
delivery in the first two years, and 3) continued measurement against those
baselines in the remaining three years. The start date for this work is July 1,
2013.
The Collaboration is issuing this RFI to determine the potential partnerships
that can be established to provide the services outlined below. Respondents
should provide their interest and qualifications for all or part of the
requirements, and demonstrate their experience with partnering with other
entities to provide a complete array of services to the Collaboration. The
respondent's ability to function as the prime entity coordinating various
partners is encouraged, but the Collaboration is also interested in responses
from providers with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) database products who
propose to work in partnership with a professional services provider.
The goals of the Collaboration's new information system are to:
1. Describe Oak Park's and River Forest's very youngest children and
lead to a consent-based data collection effort;
2. Track service delivery levels;
3. Allow for the assessment of the impact of the Collaboration's programs.
