Chapter 193 Evaluation & Determination 2017-18

This contract provides comprehensive special‑education services under New Jersey Chapter 193 for the 2017‑18 school year. The Lakewood Board of Education solicited proposals through a competitive RFP (CC 03‑1718) and, after an addendum that extended the deadline and added bonding and staffing requirements, selected a single vendor to perform eligibility evaluations, determinations, and related case‑management functions for non‑public school students. • Scope includes evaluation of student eligibility, case‑manager staffing (max 150 students per manager), compliance with IDEA and NJ statutes, and willingness to undergo cost‑free operational audits. • Mandatory performance bond of up to 20 % of contract value (capped at $500,000) and detailed financial disclosures are required. • Contract period runs from July 1 2017 to June 30 2018, with optional extensions (two 1‑year or one 2‑year). • The award recommendation favors On‑Track, which met all technical and management criteria, including the 150‑student cap and audit willingness.
