1394 SUM 2026-27.docx

This is a state quote price summary form for school bus quotations administered by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) in Washington state for the 2026-27 school year. The quotation process solicits price quotes from school bus dealers interested in selling school buses to Washington school districts. The document functions as a standardized pricing sheet where vendors submit their company name, representative name, and telephone number alongside unit prices for various school bus categories and configurations. The buses are categorized by size and fuel type, including Type A vehicles with 10-34 passenger capacity, Type C60 buses with 35-60 passenger capacity, Type C77 buses with 61-77 passenger capacity, and Type D60 and D84 buses with 49-60 and 78+ passenger capacities respectively. Each category includes options for diesel, electric, gas, and propane fuel sources, with additional pricing lines for lift-equipped variants. Vendors must provide final pricing for all applicable categories and execute the form with their representative's signature and date.

The pricing submission establishes a published list of accepted price quotes that Washington school districts may reference to place direct orders with dealers, rather than establishing binding contracts with selected vendors. The document requires vendors to provide comprehensive pricing across multiple bus types and configurations, enabling school districts across the state to compare options and make purchasing decisions based on their specific capacity and fuel requirements. This quotation structure allows OSPI to maintain a transparent, competitive pricing reference without obligating individual dealers to fulfilling orders or committing school districts to specific vendors.
