About this file

This is a price quotation specification document issued by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) for the State of Washington for the procurement of 48-passenger school buses to be used by school districts across the state. The document establishes mandatory state-supported specifications for three fuel types—diesel, gas, and propane—with options for both non-lift and lift-equipped configurations. Vendors are required to meet or exceed detailed technical specifications covering engine performance (minimum 180 horsepower for diesel and propane, 210 horsepower for gas), transmission requirements (Allison PTS 2500 or equivalent for diesel and propane), chassis components, safety features, and other vehicle systems. The quotation process allows school districts to access an approved vendor list and place direct orders; this solicitation does not result in statewide contracts but rather creates a published price list from all accepted quotes. Vendors must provide complete documentation including warranty information, repair manuals, service capabilities, and delivery timelines along with their price quotations.

The pricing structure separates bids by fuel type and lift configuration, with prices quoted without sales tax based on payment within 30 days of delivery to the school district. Part II of the specification document outlines district-supported optional features that incur additional costs, including air conditioning, enhanced seating configurations, fire suppression systems, video camera systems, suspension upgrades, and various safety and comfort enhancements. Vendors must identify their company information, servicing and parts availability locations for both chassis and body components, estimated delivery dates, and complete vehicle data specifications including warranty terms in years and miles. The document does not specify response deadlines, award dates, or contract term information, indicating this is an ongoing cooperative procurement mechanism enabling individual school districts to purchase directly from pre-approved vendors at negotiated state-recommended pricing.
