Action on Request to Waive Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and Authorize a Purchase with Committee for Children for Online Access to Second Step Curriculum: Proposed Award and Supporting Documents

File Attachment:

|
Background:
|
The Administration is requesting authorization to waive Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and authorize a purchase from Committee for Children for online access to social-emotional learning curriculum.
Milwaukee Public Schools has been utilizing the Second Step Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) curriculum for over fifteen years and has been fully implementing the curriculum in all schools with elementary grades since January 2017. Since that time, Committee for Children has undertaken significant efforts to improve and update their curriculum to improve cultural representation and reflect the most current SEL research. Second Step has transitioned to a fully digital curriculum, allowing real-time access to updated curricular materials.
The current edition of Second Step was updated in 2011, so the administration is requesting a five-year subscription to the digital edition, released in 2021.The five-year subscription would be prepaid but comes with a significant cost savings over shorter-term licensure and ensures curricular continuity for at least a five-year period. This further reduces costs to the district by way of professional development and curriculum retraining.
Subscription Rate Plus Annual Rate Total Notes
Annual $177,930.00 $889,650.00
3-Year $153,456.00 $355,860.00 $816,228.00 Prepay 3
5-Year $132,648.40 $663,242.00 Prepay 5
The exception from the requirement of a competitive procurement process for this contract has been granted on the basis that the services under this purchase are considered one-of-a-kind and competitive vendors do not exist (Administrative Policy 3.09(7)(e)(1)(b)(i)).
The term of the Purchase will be from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2026 and will not exceed $663,241.50.
