About this file
This document is a Proposal Form (RFP Item # SB-2026) for the Cherokee County School District (CCSD) seeking school bus bodies and chassis for the 2025-2026 term. The RFP solicits proposals for two specific Type C school bus configurations: a seventy-two (72) passenger bus and a fifty-four (54) passenger bus, both with factory-installed air conditioning. The contract term runs from December 1, 2025, to November 30, 2026, with the district planning to potentially award task orders to multiple proposers. The buses must meet current Georgia State School Bus Specifications and all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) requirements.
The proposal form details extensive technical specifications for both bus types, including comprehensive requirements for chassis, engine, suspension, safety features, and accessibility accommodations. Key specifications include a 220 HP minimum turbo-charged diesel engine, specific tire and axle requirements, LED lighting, air conditioning systems, and specialized features for accessibility such as wheelchair locks, lift systems, and tracked seating. Vendors are required to provide training for vehicle technicians and maintenance staff. The document allows for optional items and requires vendors to provide pricing for complete bus units with delivery and freight included, with the school district planning to manually add selected options after initial pricing submission.
