Student Transportation Services

The Riverside, California government authority is seeking a vendor to provide student transportation services for various special events. The agency needs to solve the logistical challenge of transporting large groups of students from multiple school sites to designated event locations safely and efficiently. The scope of work covers several specific recurring events, including a large event requiring the transport of approximately 1,500 students from fifteen to forty school sites. Another annual event in March requires transporting approximately 600 students to camp sites over two weekend events, with roughly 300 students transported each weekend. This camp transportation involves picking up students during normal business hours on Friday and returning them on Sunday of the same weekend. Additionally, the Dare to be Aware event requires transporting approximately 850 students from twenty-five to thirty-five school sites to a designated event, utilizing approximately twelve to sixteen buses. The agency requires each driver to have an accurate and detailed map with directions to and from each destination if the buses do not feature navigational equipment. Bidders must base their service bids and hourly rates on service from the designated pick-up points to the drop-off points. Eligibility is restricted to onshore United States organizations only, and the performance of the work will occur offsite. The agency is looking for proposals to establish a contract period that will run for five years. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 19, 2026. The agency accepts digital submissions of the final response via email or an online portal.
