Board approves nursing services contract with Legacy Silverton Hospital after competitive RFP
Summary
After an RFP that drew four bids, the district's evaluation team recommended Legacy Silverton Hospital Nursing Services for continuity and local on-call coverage; the board approved the contract at the meeting.
The district presented the outcome of a competitive RFP for school nursing services and the board approved the recommended contract with Legacy Silverton Hospital Nursing Services for the upcoming school year. Director of Special Services Brandon Larson (speaker 2) said the RFP, run after a prior-year reduction to the nursing contract, received four responses. The evaluation team (Brandon, Elise Hansen, Tony Rosales, Kim and Phil Wiesner) weighted meeting performance requirements most heavily and emphasized continuity and reliable on-call coverage.
Brandon explained the district's prior model provided roughly three to four nursing staff covering student-contact hours; the RFP was structured around that reduced model. He told trustees the panel had substantial discussion about local presence and reliability, and recommended Legacy because it provides consistent nurses that families and staff know. A trustee moved to approve the recommendation to award the contract to Legacy; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote.
Brandon said the Legacy bid was within the budgeted amount and that last year's final cost was close to projections. Board members requested more detailed scoring information; Brandon said scoring summaries are available internally and that legal counsel previously recommended posting anonymized scores in other procurements.
