Legal Notice: Cancellation of Extracurricular Transportation Bid

Closter Public Schools had planned to procure a contractor to provide extracurricular transportation services for the 2026‑2027 school year, but the solicitation (Bid No. 26/27‑01) was cancelled on March 27, 2026. Although the opportunity is currently closed, the district may re‑advertise in the future, so vendors should monitor the district’s procurement portal for a possible reopening. The work would involve transporting students on extracurricular activities, likely requiring a fleet of school‑age‑appropriate buses, driver staffing, route planning, and compliance with safety regulations. • Scope: Provide transportation for extracurricular programs (sports, clubs, field trips) throughout the 2026‑2027 academic year. • Scale: Typically school districts contract for dozens of routes and multiple vehicles; services include driver labor, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and fuel. • Status: Cancelled; no bids were accepted, and no budget or contract value was disclosed. • Future potential: The board reserves the right to re‑advertise, offering a prospective vendor a chance to compete later. • Contact: Floro M. Villanueva Jr., Business Administrator, (201) 768‑3001 for questions.
