About this file
This amendment to Request for Proposals (RFP) 17915 involves the City of Boston, Massachusetts, seeking to procure 71 passenger school buses equipped with internal combustion engines. The RFP was released on September 8, 2026, with a Q&A conference call scheduled for September 11, 2026, at 1:00 PM via Zoom. The deadline for submitting questions regarding the RFP is September 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM, with consolidated Q&A responses posted by September 22, 2026, at 3:00 PM. Proposals must be submitted by September 29, 2026, at 5:00 PM via Boston's Supplier Portal or hard copy submission; electronic submission is strongly preferred, and PDF files must be text-recognizable rather than photocopies. Vendor demonstrations are scheduled for October 6 through October 8, 2026, and the contractor is expected to be selected by October 23, 2026, at 3:00 PM. All times referenced are in Eastern Time.
Boston is committed to fleet electrification by 2030 but is currently procuring internal combustion engine buses to maintain reliable service due to an aging fleet and reduced federal funding. The not-to-exceed procurement value is $4,125,000, with funding anticipated from the City's annual local budget for school buses and potential State and federal grants. Boston operates approximately 750 school buses total, making this procurement part of a broader fleet management strategy.
