Description
Oakland Unified School District is seeking a qualified transportation provider to deliver charter‑coach services for K‑12 athletic field trips and related activities. The contractor must furnish SPAB‑certified buses (full‑size, smaller, and vans) and qualified drivers for local, short‑duration trips as well as longer‑distance or overnight athletic travel throughout California (and limited adjoining states). The district requires strict safety, insurance, and driver‑background standards, a 5‑hour minimum yard‑to‑yard billing model, and a sustainability plan to support OUSD’s greenhouse‑gas reduction goals. The award will be a three‑year base contract with up‑to‑two one‑year extensions, evaluated on cost, execution approach, environmental sustainability, and references.
• Provide SPAB‑certified buses and drivers for all athletic field‑trip transportation needs.
• Meet insurance minimums (≥ $5 M CGL, ≥ $1 M workers’ comp) and submit CHP safety compliance, driver lists, and fingerprint/felony certifications.
• Deliver 24 × 7 support, adhere to a tiered cancellation policy, and propose sustainability measures (e.g., biodiesel, EVs).
