Utah Parent Center Sole Source

The Davis School District is seeking to award a contract to the Utah Parent Center for parent consultant services for families with disabled children. The contract term is expected to be five years, with an estimated value of $350,000. The Utah Parent Center will provide a paid parent consultant to work with parents of children and youth with disabilities, providing training, referral, and peer support. The district is seeking to award the contract without engaging in a standard procurement process due to the uniqueness of the procurement item and the fact that the Utah Parent Center is the only authorized provider of parent training and information as designated by the Utah State Board of Education. • The Utah Parent Center will provide a paid parent consultant to service parents of children and youth with disabilities. • The consultant will work in partnership with administrators, educators, and service providers. • The consultant will train parents on their rights, roles, and responsibilities in the IEP and other planning processes. • The consultant will provide referral, training, and peer support to parents to help them work within the school system to resolve issues and meet the needs of their children.
