This is Addendum No. 4 to a Request for Proposals issued by Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware for Homeless and Foster Care Student Transportation services. The addendum, dated August 6, 2026, modifies the original specifications and provides clarifications to prospective bidders. The RFP seeks transportation services for Pre-K through 12 students, including standard transportation, transportation with attendants, wheelchair-accessible transportation, out-of-state service, and sole passenger service. Proposals are due August 12, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., with public opening at the same date and time. The contract term runs from award through August 1, 2027, with an option to renew by mutual agreement. The district reserves the right to award the contract to multiple vendors and may terminate with thirty days' written notice.

The addendum clarifies three key procedural matters regarding subcontractors and vehicle information submission. Vendors are not required to identify proposed subcontractors by name in the proposal submission; however, they may describe their subcontracting approach and identify selected subcontractors post-award, subject to district approval and verification that all personnel meet specified requirements. Regarding vehicle information, the addendum distinguishes between Question 3, which requests information about currently available vehicles that must be submitted with the proposal, and Question 26, which pertains to vehicle updates and fleet changes that may be submitted post-award. All drivers and aides must meet background check requirements, child protection registry clearances, and motor vehicle record standards, with general liability and professional liability insurance of $1 million required prior to contract commencement.
