About this file

This is a bid specification document for bus parts issued by the St. Bernard Parish School Board in Louisiana for the procurement period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, with an option to extend the contract for two additional twelve-month periods. The bid covers bus parts for multiple vehicle makes and models, including Thomas C2 buses with Mercedes Benz, Caterpillar, and Cummins engines, Bluebird Vision buses, Ford F150, and Dodge vehicles from model years 2005-2023. Bidders are required to submit a catalog and price list for each group of parts, with delivery expected within 24 hours of order and emergency parts to be delivered within two hours.

The bid specifications require all parts to be new unless otherwise specified, with successful bidders agreeing to maintain sufficient inventory and provide detailed invoicing that includes item numbers, list prices, and discounts. Pricing must include delivery charges, and no additional freight fees will be paid by the School Board. Contracts will be awarded by group of parts, with the combined low price being the determining factor when multiple similar parts are requested. Bidders must quote the specified brand names or functional equivalents, with any deviations requiring pre-approval, and must apply the same discount to all related items within a group.
