Universal Screening & Computerized Reading Intervention Program

The Lakewood Board of Education issued a competitive RFP (CC 01‑1819) for a district‑wide, web‑based universal reading screening and computerized reading‑intervention solution serving K‑8 students in both English and Spanish. The contract covers software licensing, student‑level home portals, bilingual technical support, training for staff, and stringent data‑security and reporting requirements. After evaluation, the contract was awarded to ISTATION, with the award expected to run through the 2018‑19 school year and include up to two one‑year renewal options. The procurement emphasized technical merit (40 %), management capability (20 %) and cost (40 %) in its scoring. • Required deliverables: universal screener three times per year, bilingual intervention software, parent portal, and comprehensive progress reporting. • Vendor must provide bilingual support, training, and meet New Jersey data‑privacy and Right‑to‑Know regulations. • The contract value is not disclosed, but a 10 % bid bond capped at $20,000 suggests a total contract value around $200,000.
