Bus Non-Engine Non-OEM Repairs

Granite School District is requesting bids on outside services for non-engine school bus repairs under IFB JB27-303, with bids due November 2, 2026, and a contract start date of December 1, 2026. Bidders must be located within 20 miles of zip code 84119 (the District Transportation Center at 3000 W. Parkway Blvd., West Valley City, Utah).

The scope includes king pin replacement, steering and suspension repair and replacement, driveline and drive axle component repair and replacement, steer axle repairs, air conditioning repair and replacement, miscellaneous chassis repairs, and OEM component and system repairs. The District anticipates awarding contracts across five categories: Bluebird bus OEM repairs, International bus OEM repairs, Thomas bus OEM repairs, front-end repairs, and all other non-engine repairs. Vendors must be properly licensed in Utah and employ factory-trained, certified technicians. Buses are delivered to the vendor's facility; the vendor must obtain Transportation Department approval before work commences, provide written estimates within eight hours of receiving a bus, use only OEM parts unless written approval is granted, and provide a one-year warranty on all parts and labor.

The contract term is one year with the option to renew annually for up to four additional years at the District's discretion and by mutual agreement. The District does not guarantee any specific volume of work. Pricing must be fixed for the initial one-year period on an FOB Destination basis with no fuel surcharges; after year one, vendors may request price changes only if documentation supports a significant change in market conditions. Bids must be submitted through the Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) at https://utah.bonfirehub.com/portal/?tab=openOpportunities or by hard copy to 2500 South State Street, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.

Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, register with E-Verify, and comply with all applicable federal and state laws. The District reserves the right to make multiple awards or award by line item, reject any or all bids, or make no award if determined to be in its best interest.
