Amendment No. 3 “As Needed” Pupil Transportation

Bid Summary No. 13-14-101 At the Board meeting of December 16, 2013, an award was made for “As Needed” home-to-school transportation of special education students residing in the Azusa, Baldwin Park, Bassett, Bonita, Charter Oak, Claremont, Covina-Valley, Glendora, Hacienda-La Puente, Pomona, Rowland, Walnut Valley, and West Covina Unified School District areas and extracurricular field trips for Covina-Valley Unified School District. While Education Code Sections 39800 and 39802 and Public Contract Code Sections 20111 and 20112 discuss awarding to one bidder, the need to award to more than one company for the same service is anticipated due to the fact that any one school bus or charter coach carrier may not have the resources available to provide the volume of service needed by the District on some days. Therefore, contracting for charter transportation services with multiple vendors meeting all District requirements is recommended. It is estimated that the extracurricular transportation will be $400,000. The requirement of transporting students involved (for home-to-school) will be minimal. The bid allows for an option to renew the contract for a total of up to five years. Alliance Bus Lines, Inc., Durham School Services, First Student, and Student Transportation of America, Inc. have offered to extend the contract. Recommendation is made that Amendment No. 3 to Bid Summary No. 13-14-101, “As Needed” Pupil Transportation for the 2016-17 school year and the 2016 summer school program, be approved.

8/15/16 14
