Description

The Pinellas County School District is seeking qualified commercial carriers to provide charter bus transportation for student, staff, and chaperone trips both within Pinellas County and to out‑of‑county locations. The contract will create a pre‑qualified list of vendors that can be used for field trips, athletic events, and other extracurricular activities on an as‑needed basis. Vendors must meet strict vehicle, safety, insurance, and driver‑screening requirements, including Level 2 background checks and handicap accessibility. The award will be based on a weighted point system covering technical capability, safety programs, experience, and cost. The contract runs for one year (01/27/27 – 01/26/28) with an option for three one‑year renewals and a total estimated value of about $2 million.

Budget estimate

$1,500,000 – $2,500,000

The solicitation states a contract value of approximately $2,000,000 for the initial one‑year term. Considering the potential for three additional one‑year renewals and price escalation provisions, the total earnings over the full possible five‑year period could approach $10 million. For a single‑year award, a realistic range is $1.5 million to $2.5 million, reflecting variations in mileage, hourly rates, and ancillary fees (e.g., driver lodging, cancellation fees).
