About this opportunity
The University of Wisconsin-Superior is soliciting bids for Motor Coach and School Bus Transportation Services through an electronic Request for Bid (RFB) process. The procurement seeks a vendor to provide transportation services for university-related trips, including interstate and intrastate travel for athletics teams, classes, and special activities. Contractors must offer pricing for various bus sizes and be prepared to handle simultaneous trip requests with qualified drivers and properly maintained vehicles. The contract will initially run from September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2027, with potential automatic renewal for two additional one-year terms. All bids must be submitted electronically through the ShopUW+ Event Sourcing Module by 2:00 PM Central Time on July 3, 2024, with bidders required to have an established profile in the JAGGAER system. Prospective vendors must meet all state and federal safety standards, maintain appropriate licenses and permits, and be subject to university inspection of operations and vehicles prior to contract award.
The solicitation does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. Bidders must register with the JAGGAER supplier network and complete all electronic submission requirements, with technical support available through Jaggaer Supplier Support at 1-800-233-1121. While the University does not guarantee a minimum number of charters, contractors must demonstrate capability to handle multiple simultaneous trip requests and provide contingency plans for potential mechanical breakdowns. The bid documents do not specify a precise contract value or budget range, leaving pricing to be determined through the competitive bidding process. Interested vendors should carefully review all documentation in the SUP-24-8171-B SERVICES CONTRACT TERMS AND REQUIREMENTS document and ensure compliance with all specified transportation and operational requirements. Technical support and registration assistance are available to help potential bidders navigate the electronic bidding system and submit responsive proposals.
