About this file

This is a price quotation specification document issued by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) Student Transportation division in Washington state for school bus dealers to submit bids for TYPE D60 48-passenger diesel buses. The document establishes mandatory state-supported specifications that vendors must meet or exceed when bidding both non-lift and lift bus configurations with seating capacities of 35-60 passengers. Vendors must provide detailed specifications for all components including the diesel engine (180 horsepower minimum), Allison automatic transmission, hydraulic disc brakes, 48-passenger seating with center-to-center spacing of at least 27.5 inches, wheelchair lift systems (minimum 32" x 52" platform), two-way communications, LED lighting systems, and three heaters with recirculating pumps. Vendors must also commit to providing line setting tickets, owner's/operator's handbooks, complete repair manuals with wiring diagrams, pre-delivery service and cleaning, and comprehensive warranty documentation at time of delivery.

The quoted price must be based on payment within 30 days after delivery to the school district without sales tax, with vendors providing separate bids for non-lift and lift-equipped configurations. The OSPI solicitation does not result in direct contracts with selected dealers but rather creates a published list of accepted price quotes that Washington school districts may use to place orders directly with vendors. The document includes an extensive section on district-supported optional features including air conditioning, alternative fuel systems, advanced lighting options, seating configurations, fire suppression systems, video camera monitoring systems, suspension upgrades, and additional wheelchair tie-down stations, each with separate pricing. Vendors must complete the vehicle data sheet providing detailed information on body make/model, chassis specifications, engine manufacturer and torque/horsepower ratings, transmission details, battery configurations, warranty terms (in years and miles), and estimated delivery timelines from the time purchase orders are received.
