The Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District is requesting proposals for Athletic Training Services for the school’s athletic program.
We would welcome a reply if this is within your scope of expertise. The Dallas Center-Grimes Community School District will make available all relevant information needed by the vendor as they develop their proposal.
The Dallas-Center-Grimes Community School District (“District”) encourages all prospective service providers to carefully examine this Request for Proposal (“RFP”). Qualified providers are requested to submit proposals to provide the services described in this RFP. The District expects its provider of athletic training services to be highly experienced, a leader and innovator, and to be able to provide comprehensive services in the relevant areas. Further, the District requires that those services be delivered consistently and be of the highest quality. In addition, the District expects those personnel who will actually be performing the services to be qualified, by virtue of their background, education, training, licensure, and experience, to provide the athletic training services desired by the District.
The District is not responsible for any expense incurred in preparing and submitting a proposal, taking any action in connection with the selection process, or for the costs of any services performed by any firm or person prior to the execution of a contract with a service provider.
Proposals should not contain promotional or display materials. Proposals must address the requirements as explained to aid the technical evaluation. All questions posed by the RFP must be answered concisely and clearly. Proposals that do not address each criterion may be rejected. All proposals become the property of the District and will not be returned to the proposed service providers. Following the opening of the proposals, the contents of the proposals will be placed in the public domain and will be open for inspection by interested parties. Trade secrets or proprietary information that are recognized as such and are protected by law may be withheld upon the written request of the proposer. The offer made by a proposal, and any clarifications to that proposal, shall be signed by the proposed service provider or authorized officer thereof, or a designated agent empowered to bind the proposer in a contract.
The District reserves the right to conduct any investigation of the qualifications of any proposed service provider that it deems appropriate, negotiate modifications to any of the items proposed in the proposal, or request additional information from any proposer. The District may choose to conduct interviews with some or all of the service providers submitting proposals.
The District reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to decide not to utilize the services of any selected provider or to terminate the selection without cause and without penalty, and the selection of a provider does not assure that any services will ultimately be requested. Further, the District is under no obligation to utilize the selected service provider’s services on an exclusive basis. The terms and conditions of this RFP and the resulting contracts or activities based upon this RFP shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Iowa. Wherever differences exist between federal and state statutes or regulations affecting this procurement, interpretation shall be in the direction of that which is most beneficial to the interest of the District.
The District reserves the right to reject any or all proposals or parts thereof, to waive any informalities or irregularities, and to enter into such contract or contracts as shall be deemed in the best interests of the District.
