Project Overview The awarded Bidder shall be responsible for conducting, in consultation with the Department, both statewide and local evaluations of Maine’s 21st CCLC programs. The purpose of this evaluation work is to help the Department gauge the overall impact and effectiveness of Maine’s 21st CCLC programs in achieving established program goals. Evaluations shall include a mix of both quantitative and qualitative data from multiple, pre-defined sources and across multiple years. The initial period of performance for the project shall be divided into two (2) phases: Phase One: The awarded Bidder will be tasked with obtaining required data (from existing sources or new data collection), performing various types of pertinent analyses on the data, and generating a statewide evaluation report of aggregate data from all of Maine’s 21st CCLC programs. Note that the Department will provide most (if not all) of the requisite data to the awarded Bidder. Phase Two: The awarded Bidder will be tasked with obtaining required data (from existing sources or new data collection), performing various types of pertinent analyses on the data, and generating shorter local evaluation reports for each of Maine’s 21st CCLC programs with data and analyses that are specific to each grant program.
