Hackettstown board authorizes RFP for on‑site coaching under competitive contracting
Summary
The board passed a resolution directing the Business Administrator to issue an RFP for on‑site coaching services to support IDEA CCEIS, citing N.J.S.A. 18A:18A competitive contracting provisions and authorizing an Evaluation Committee to score proposals.
The Hackettstown Board of Education on Oct. 8 authorized a competitive contracting process to solicit proposals for on‑site professional development and coaching services in support of IDEA Comprehensive Coordinated Early Intervening Services (CCEIS).
The resolution directs the Business Administrator/Board Secretary to draft, advertise and distribute a request for proposals and authorizes the Superintendent and Business Administrator to appoint an Evaluation Committee to review submissions and report recommendations to the board. The resolution also authorizes the board president, vice president and Business Administrator to execute necessary documents to carry out the RFP and awards process.
The resolution explicitly cites New Jersey competitive contracting statutes: N.J.S.A. 18A:18A‑4.6(b)(1) (permitting competitive contracting in lieu of public bidding for professional services) and related provisions in N.J.S.A. 18A:18A‑4.3(a), 4.4 and 4.5 that govern the procurement process. The board’s motion states that the district is in need of on‑site professional development and coaching services and intends to evaluate proposals according to criteria set out in the forthcoming RFP.
The board directed the Business Administrator to proceed with solicitation; the minutes record planned follow‑up steps including formation of the Evaluation Committee and reporting award recommendations to the board. No public comments were recorded on the item.
