HCPS_Yellow_Bus_Fleet__All_Type_Buses_7.27.26_1.xlsx

This is a vehicle fleet inventory report from Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) documenting their yellow bus fleet and related service vehicles as of July 27, 2026. The spreadsheet contains comprehensive vehicle data for the school district's transportation operations, including over 1,000 vehicles spanning multiple categories: school buses (Thomas C2, Bluebird Vision, International CE models), support trucks and vans (Ford F-series, Chevrolet, Dodge, Nissan, Toyota models), and specialty vehicles. The inventory tracks each vehicle's unit ID, operational status (Live, Off Road, Awaiting Disposal, Disposed), depot location, vehicle type and body configuration, model year, manufacturer, wheelbase/wheelchair capacity where applicable, license plate, fuel type, assigned driver or department, route information, odometer readings, total cost, and vehicle identification number. The fleet composition reflects a mix of model years ranging from 1995 to 2024, with the majority of school buses manufactured between 2008 and 2023. Vehicles are assigned to various operational departments including Transportation, Maintenance (Central, East, West), Student Nutrition Service, Sites & Utilities, Custodial Operations, and administrative functions. The database indicates active utilization patterns, with most vehicles showing operational status and assigned personnel or departments, while others remain in spare, training, or inactive status.

This inventory aligns with the concurrent contract opportunity for school bus air-conditioning maintenance and repair services, which requires contractors to service diesel, electric, propane, and gasoline-powered Type A and Type C school buses with R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant systems. The fleet data demonstrates substantial demand for specialized maintenance services across the district's diverse vehicle population, particularly for the numerous Thomas C2 and International CE school buses that comprise the primary transportation assets. Vehicle assignments to maintenance departments and the range of operational statuses indicate ongoing service requirements, with particular emphasis needed on HVAC system maintenance for buses operating in Florida's climate. The inventory's inclusion of wheelchair-equipped buses and vehicles with varying fuel types underscores the technical complexity required of service contractors, who must maintain EPA and MACS compliance across multiple refrigerant standards and vehicle configurations.
