About this file
This is a Bus Specification Checklist attachment for the State of North Dakota's procurement of a 50-passenger bus for Lake Region State College through the State Procurement Office. The specification checklist provides detailed technical requirements and features that the bus must meet, serving as the evaluation criteria for bidders' proposals. This is a reissue of solicitation SRC000424, which was previously canceled due to an incomplete initial solicitation. Lindsey Matter, State Procurement Officer, is the primary contact at 701-328-7163 or Lmatter@nd.gov. The checklist format enables systematic verification that submitted bus specifications align with the state's mandatory and preferred features for this single-unit acquisition.
The checklist document establishes the technical standards and performance requirements that prospective vendors must address in their bids, ensuring compliance with Lake Region State College's operational needs and the state's procurement standards. As an attachment referenced in the solicitation documents, this specification checklist serves as a critical evaluation tool to assess bid responsiveness and vendor capability to deliver a compliant 50-passenger bus meeting all stated requirements.
