Proposers are required to submit a detailed rate schedule for various bus types and service configurations. The RFP does not specify a particular budget range or award value, nor does it identify an incumbent vendor or include set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The district reserves the right to reject any proposals and will make final selections based on a holistic review of submitted materials.
