About this file

This document is a detailed specifications attachment for an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the Salt Lake City School District for the procurement of electric school buses. The IFB solicitation seeks the purchase of four electric school buses total: two Type D buses with 81-passenger capacity and two Type C buses with 33-passenger capacity and three wheelchair positions. All bids must be submitted electronically through the Bonfire/U3P platform, with bidders required to review all attached documents and submit base bids and alternate bids along with any required supporting documentation, bid bonds, and licensing information. The solicitation process includes a pre-bid site visit, with all questions to be submitted in writing through Bonfire/U3P or posed at the site visit. Answers to questions will be posted on Bonfire/U3P, and only official addenda issued by SLCSD constitute authorized changes to procurement requirements. The solicitation is expected to result in a single-bidder award.

The Type C specifications document establishes mandatory minimum requirements and optional additions for electric school buses. All mandatory requirements must be met, including electric power with minimum 240kWh battery capacity, 24/7 eight-channel camera systems with multiple viewing angles, Motorola two-way radios, child reminder systems, wheelchair lifts with three-spot capacity, air conditioning for driver and passengers, LED lighting packages, and both Level III DC and Level II AC charging capability. Optional additions include GPS systems, vehicle-to-grid technology, upgraded seating, acoustic coatings, and enhanced safety features, all subject to SLCSD approval. Vendors may propose exceptions to specifications if alternatives meet or exceed requirements, though all exceptions require prior approval from the school district.
