Athletics Charter Bus

A public university in Massachusetts is seeking a vendor to provide athletic charter bus ground transportation services for its fall, winter, and spring semesters. The agency requires a contractor to supply buses equipped with global positioning systems and cellular phones or alternative communication devices to handle breakdowns or emergencies. These systems must provide constant, real-time position, speed, and route information to both dispatch and customer service representatives. The contractor must maintain a twenty-four-hour dispatch line to handle emergencies or schedule changes. Drivers must have the ability to contact the dispatch office twenty-four hours a day. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year for these services. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the charter bus work will take place offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit.
