Tire Leasing

Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA) is seeking a qualified vendor to lease vehicle tires for its bus fleet. The contract focuses on supplying the specified tire sizes (B 315/80R22.5 and approved equal 305/85R22.5) and meeting legal tread‑wear limits. RIPTA’s own service technicians will handle installation, removal, and maintenance; the vendor’s role is limited to providing the tires on a lease basis. No budget ceiling or award date is disclosed in the addendum, and payment terms are net‑60 with negotiable adjustments. The procurement is governed by Rhode Island law, includes uncapped liquidated damages for schedule delays, and restricts assignment without written consent.
