Description

Western Kentucky University seeks a qualified charter‑bus provider to transport prospective students and guests for admissions‑related events. The vendor must supply four modern 56‑seat buses (model‑year 2019 or newer), equipped with Wi‑Fi, DVD, satellite TV, and electrical outlets, and must avoid blue‑colored vehicles. Each bus must be documented with make, model, year, and VIN, and the provider must carry at least $5 million in liability insurance. The contract runs for six months, with the option to terminate with 30‑day notice, and the university will cover hotel costs for drivers while drivers pay for their own meals. All transportation charges are prepaid and FOB to WKU.

Budget estimate

$100,000 – $300,000

No contract value is disclosed. Typical charter‑bus rates in Kentucky range from $1,800 to $2,500 per day per bus, plus mileage and amenity premiums. Assuming four buses operating an average of 10 days per month over a six‑month period, the total contract value could fall between roughly $100,000 (minimum service) and $300,000 (full‑service, premium amenities) for the entire term.
