About this file
This document is a 2025-2026 State Price Quote Specification for Type A Gas and Propane School Buses issued by Washington State's Student Transportation division, located in the Old Capitol Building in Olympia. The specification allows vendors to bid on non-lift and lift bus configurations for gas and propane-powered vehicles, with detailed technical requirements for chassis, body, and special needs features. The document provides comprehensive specifications for school bus procurement, including seating capacity, engine requirements, transmission details, lighting, safety features, wheelchair accommodations, and optional equipment. A pre-bid specification review meeting is scheduled for June 30, 2025, to discuss proposed changes to the bus quotes and specifications.
The pricing structure allows vendors to submit separate quotes for gas and propane buses with and without wheelchair lifts, with prices to be established based on the submitted specifications. The document includes options for district-supported additional features such as air conditioning, alternate fuel configurations, backup alarms, strobe lights, video camera systems, and wheelchair tie-down systems. Vendors must provide detailed warranty information, service locations, and comprehensive repair manuals with each bus. The specification emphasizes compliance with Washington State School Bus Specification Manual requirements and provides extensive technical guidelines for manufacturers to ensure safety, performance, and functionality of the school bus fleet.
