About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) regarding the Illinois Department of Central Management Services' bid B-36251 for JPMC Passenger Buses. The bid specifications originally indicated that the buses for prisoner-type transport should be school bus yellow with white roofs and certain school bus features. The bidder has requested that these requirements be reviewed and modified to allow for activity buses rather than school buses, as the school bus-specific features are not required for prisoner transport. The agency has indicated that revised specifications will be issued on 05-31-23 to address this concern.
The revised specifications will likely impact the pricing and availability of the buses that bidders can offer. Funding sources, set-asides, and other contract terms were not detailed in this Q&A document. However, the agency's willingness to update the specifications based on bidder feedback suggests a collaborative procurement process intended to encourage competition and meet the state's transportation needs.

Illinois Department of Central Management Services JPMC Passenger Buses
B-36251 Questions and Answers #1
5/31/23
Q1 We are in receipt of the above referenced bid for JPMC passenger buses. We have done a quick review of the specifications and see a major issue with four of the categories.
Exhibit B, D and C specifications of prisoner type transport state the buses shall be yellow with white roofs. It also states stop arms, 8-way flashers etc. This describes a school bus.
As such the only buses that can be school bus yellow by law are school buses and not prisoner type transports.
We request that you review these requirements and make changes that will allow for school bus types of units only not yellow and with other school bus designated features.
The Exhibit A for the smaller bus does not indicate a color so as an activity bus this would be white exterior.
A1 See revised specifications dated 05-31-23.
