UHV Charter Transportation Service

The University of Houston Victoria (UHV) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for charter transportation services to support the university's Athletics Department and other departments on an as-needed basis. The purpose is to establish a one-year Master Agreement with four optional one-year renewals, for a maximum of five years. UHV is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide van, minibus, and motor coach transportation services with specific passenger capacities, amenities, and age requirements. Respondents must provide detailed pricing, including hourly, daily, and mileage rates for each vehicle type, as well as additional fees for a second driver, overnight stays, and fuel surcharges. Proposals are due by October 23, 2024, at 2:00 PM CT, and the award will be based on factors such as cost, qualifications, delivery, and ability to meet UHV's requirements, with cost being weighted the highest at 50%.

The contract opportunity has been designated as probable for subcontracting, and respondents must submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan (HSP) demonstrating good faith efforts to subcontract with Texas-certified Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) for at least 20% of the contract value. The RFP also requires respondents to provide certifications related to the state's prohibitions on boycotting Israel, boycotting energy companies, and discriminating against firearm and ammunition industries. The current incumbent, if any, is not specified, nor are the anticipated award value or budget range.
