About this file
This is a price quote specification document issued by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Student Transportation division in Washington State for school bus quotations to be used by school districts. The document solicits price quotes from school bus dealers for 71-passenger school buses available in diesel, gas, and propane fuel types for the 2026-2027 school year. Vendors must submit detailed vehicle data sheets and official price quotations for both non-lift and lift-equipped configurations. The specification document outlines mandatory state-supported requirements for chassis, engine, transmission, brakes, seating capacity, safety features, and other components that vendors must meet or exceed. Additionally, the document provides a comprehensive list of district-supported optional features and upgrades that vendors may offer at additional cost, including air conditioning, video camera systems, wheelchair securement systems, various suspension and brake options, and interior/exterior enhancements. No specific response deadline, award date, or contract term is indicated in the provided documentation.
Pricing for bus quotations is based on payment within 30 days after delivery to the school district without sales tax. Vendors must provide separate pricing for diesel, gas, and propane fuel options, with individual line items for both non-lift and lift-equipped buses. The document does not establish contracts with selected dealers; rather, it creates a published list of accepted price quotes that school districts may use to place direct orders with dealers. Vendors are required to include warranty information for the body, chassis, engine, and transmission, along with estimated delivery timelines from the date the purchase order is received. Additional mandatory inclusions are service and maintenance information, documentation of authorized service facilities for both engine/chassis and body repairs, owner's manuals, repair manuals with wiring diagrams, and confirmation that all components will be cleaned, serviced, and fully operational at time of delivery.
