RFQu 001-24 Charter Bus Services

The state and local contracting opportunity is a Request for Qualifications (RFQu) issued by Clayton County Public Schools (CCPS) in Georgia for charter bus services to support school-related activities. CCPS is seeking to pre-qualify experienced providers to deliver these services on an as-needed basis. The RFQu outlines the minimum qualifications, such as driver certification and criminal background check requirements, as well as the scope of services, evaluation criteria, and response format. The initial contract term is one year, with four optional one-year renewal terms. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference will be held on April 16, 2024, and proposals are due by May 14, 2024. CCPS intends to make multiple awards under this RFQu and will evaluate proposals based on factors such as experience and qualifications of staff, methodology and approach, performance on other projects, organizational qualifications and financial capability, and cost proposal. CCPS may also conduct oral presentations, interviews, and site visits as part of the evaluation process.

The RFQu requires proposers to comply with the Inclusivity in Purchasing Policy and Small Local Business Enterprise Program, indicating set-aside designations or restrictions for certain types of organizations. However, the documents do not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they specify any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQu also does not provide any details on the possible award values or budget ranges.
