Athletics Charter Bus

A public university in Massachusetts is seeking a vendor to provide ground transportation for its athletic teams during the fall, winter, and spring semesters. The agency requires a contractor to supply charter 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 dispatchers and customer service representatives. The selected contractor must maintain a twenty-four-hour dispatch line to manage emergencies or schedule changes. Drivers must have the ability to contact the dispatch office at any hour of the day. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year for these services. The agency limits eligibility to organizations based onshore within the United States. The contractor will perform the work offsite, transporting the athletic teams to their required destinations. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed a specific funding limit.
