Bus Transit System

The City of Salamanca, New York, requires a contractor to provide an Inter-Territory and Intra-Territory bus transit system for the local government authority. The agency is seeking to solve its public transportation needs by establishing a fixed-route bus service that includes route deviation capabilities. The scope of work covers the operation of these routes using vehicles that currently require one vehicle per round trip. Bidders must submit hourly rates that exclude the cost of fuel for the operations. The agency is limiting eligibility to onshore organizations based in the United States, and the selected contractor must perform all work onsite in Salamanca. The contract period will span three years, and the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The agency will host a pre-bid meeting on June 23, 2026, to discuss the project requirements. Bidders must submit all questions regarding the solicitation no later than June 30, 2026. The evaluation criteria will focus on the submitted proposals and the hourly rates provided by eligible onshore contractors.
