Description

Western Kentucky University is seeking a qualified charter‑bus provider to transport its Men’s Basketball team throughout the 2026‑2027 season. The contract covers up to nine scheduled trips across several states, requiring a 56‑passenger bus (model 2021 or newer) equipped with Wi‑Fi, DVD, satellite TV, and electrical outlets. The vendor must use the same lead driver for all trips, provide detailed vehicle documentation per trip, and maintain a minimum of $5 million liability insurance. The contract runs for six months, with a 30‑day termination clause for either party. • Provide a 56‑seat, 2021‑or‑newer charter bus with specified amenities for each trip. • Use a single lead driver for the entire season; driver’s food costs are self‑paid, hotel costs for away games covered by WKU. • Submit a bus documentation sheet (make, model, year, VIN) for each trip; failure to do so results in disqualification. • Maintain $5 M combined & single‑limit liability coverage and certify compliance with Kentucky anti‑collusion and campaign‑finance statutes.

Budget estimate

$20,000 – $60,000

No contract value is disclosed, so we estimate based on typical charter‑bus rates for collegiate sports travel. Assuming 9 trips ranging from short (≈200 miles) to long (≈800 miles), average rates might fall between $2,000 and $5,500 per trip, plus mileage and lodging reimbursements for the driver. This yields an estimated total contract value of roughly $20,000 to $60,000. Factors influencing the actual budget include exact distances, fuel costs, overnight driver hotel reimbursements, and any additional amenities requested.
