Amount Not to Exceed $658,390 for a Preschool and Toddler Program for a Period of Five Years.
CEQA Status - Not a Project.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve and authorize the City Manager or their designee
to execute Contract No. C25193356 (Attachment A), with Martina Entriken, to provide
instruction for a Preschool and Toddler Program for a term of five years and a total amount not-
to-exceed $658,390, including $591,390 for basic services and $67,000 for additional services.
BACKGROUND
The City of Palo Alto’s Community Services Department (CSD) provides hundreds of recreational
youth programs each year. CSD strives to offer a variety of programs that are high quality,
exciting, dynamic and inclusive to all. These recreational classes are available to the Palo Alto
community and to non-residents. The classes are marketed through the City’s ENJOY! Catalog,
and on the City’s website. A long-standing preschool and toddler program has been taught at
the Peer’s Park Field House at 1899 Park Boulevard in Palo Alto since 2005. To provide a
successful preschool program, CSD utilizes external instructor(s) with the knowledge and
expertise in early childhood education, focusing on children ages one and a half to four years
old.
The current vendor, Martina Entriken, has a contracted agreement for a total not-to-exceed
amount of $330,000 for three years that will expire June 30, 2025. A formal solicitation was
conducted, and Martina Entriken was selected by the committee.
ANALYSIS
The City requires a qualified and experienced instructor to teach the preschool and toddler
program. The program’s curriculum includes the domains outlined by the California Board of
Education Preschool Curriculum Frameworks: sensory play, art, science, math, music, and early
age literacy as well as an added field trip component.
