The Sacramento County Board of Education, through the Sacramento County Office of Education (SCOE), is calling for quotations for the furnishing of Trustee Area boundary adjustment services for the federal 2010 Decennial Census population change. This request is an informal solicitation of quotations only.
Following each federal Decennial Census, using population figures validated by the Population Research Unit of the Department of Finance as the basis, the Sacramento County Board of Education adjusts the boundaries of any or all of the Trustee Areas, as necessary, so that each area is nearly equal in terms of population size.
At its January 18, 2011, the Board appointed a subcommittee to oversee the process for adjusting the Trustee Areas. In adjusting the seven Trustee Area boundaries, the Board may consider the following factors: topography, geography, cohesiveness, contiguity, integrity, compactness of territory, and communities of interest.
The purpose of this Request for Quotations (RFQ) is to provide the Board with adjusted trustee boundary areas based upon the 2010 Census resulting in new Trustee Area boundaries in conformity with all state and federal legal requirements and sound redistricting practices, which will be submitted to the Voter Registrar and Elections Offices in Sacramento, Solano, San Joaquin, Placer and Yolo counties by August 30, 2011.
Firms interested in providing redistricting services to the Sacramento County Board of Education should provide a written quote that responds to the requirements listed in the Request for Quotations.
Quotes must be received by March 15 at 4 p.m. as follows:
