The Permian Basin Child care Development Board (PBWDB) released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation and management of its Child Care Services program on June 1, 2026. The purpose of the RFP is to select a single contractor to manage and operate child care services in the Permian Basin. The deadline to submit a response to the Child Care RFP is July 9, 2026.  The evaluation/validation period for each proposal is July 10 – July 24, 2026.

PBWDB seeks qualified individuals with knowledge/experience in quality systems, quality management, fiscal management, and performance excellence to evaluate responsive proposals.  Proposers must demonstrate the knowledge and experience necessary to evaluate the child care services programs and commit the necessary time to independently review and score the proposals.  

It is PBWDB’s intent to contract with three individuals to evaluate the child care services proposals. Evaluators will be paid $800 for each proposal evaluated. One evaluator may be selected as the lead evaluator to participate in an on-site or virtual meeting to review the results with PBWDB staff and/or PBWDB Board of Directors.  The compensation of $800 per proposal is exclusive of a possible virtual meeting or on-site review to discuss the evaluation results or present the results to the PBWDB Board of Directors.  

Qualified evaluators must meet the following minimum requirements.
•	Have a working knowledge and understanding of the Texas child care system, preferably knowledge of managing, and/or administering child care programs, including program delivery and fiscal requirements. Evaluators’ knowledge/understanding of the child care program should be recent; within the past two years.
•	Experience evaluating requests for proposals.
•	Availability to independently evaluate proposals between July 10-July 24, 2026.
•	Have no real or apparent conflict of interest in reviewing the Responders’ proposals.
•	Availability to participate in a virtual evaluation meeting, if necessary.  The evaluation meeting will be dependent upon variances of the evaluator’s responses.

Interested individuals must submit a cover letter and resume.  The resume must clearly identify how the individual meets the above minimum requirements.  All respondents will be evaluated based on the extent of their experience and knowledge of the child care program, experience evaluating proposals, availability, and any conflict of interest.

Individuals interested in serving as the lead evaluator should indicate such interest in the response and including the hourly rate for this service.  PBWDB will reimburse the lead evaluator the cost of lodging, meals, and transportation according to the State of Texas travel regulations if asked to participate in an on-site review.
