Parent Educators for Family Court Services

Multnomah County is seeking parent educators to provide educational services, materials, and information to people with child custody and parenting time issues before the court. The selected vendors will present a county-developed curriculum, either virtually or in-person, and will be responsible for teaching classes, managing the class environment, and distributing materials. The contract term will generally be two years in length, or the remaining time of the procurement, whichever is shorter. The vendors will be paid at a unit rate, and the contract will be a requirements contract, whereby services are procured based on the county's need and demand. • The contract requires the vendors to have experience teaching educational curriculum to parents undergoing a divorce and/or separation. • The vendors must also have knowledge and/or training about child development, domestic or family violence, conflict resolution or mediation, and Oregon's domestic relations laws and practices. • The contract includes a performance measure, which requires that 90% of the people who attend the parent education course respond that their instructor did an "excellent job" or a "good job" in teaching the course and presenting the information. • The vendors will be evaluated based on their programmatic questions, which account for 75% of the evaluation, and responsible business practice questions, which account for 25% of the evaluation.
