School Bus and Vehicle Tires

This contract is a statewide Maryland school‑bus tire services procurement (Bid 2024‑53) awarded to Donald B Rice Tire Co., Inc. (Rice Tire). It covers only service‑related activities—no tire purchase—providing rates for 13 distinct maintenance and repair tasks across three vehicle classes (school bus, passenger/automobile, light‑truck). The services include labor rates, service calls, tire dismount/install, flat repairs (on‑ and off‑vehicle), wheel alignment, tire rotation, valve‑stem replacement, wheel balancing, tire recycling, and power‑coat rim finishing. The contract is a service‑only, unit‑price arrangement with no disclosed quantities, deadlines, or total contract value. • Scope: 13 service items for school buses, passenger vehicles, and light trucks. • Awarded Vendor: Donald B Rice Tire Co., Inc. dba Rice Tire (single‑award). • No tire‑manufacturer bids were received, so the tire‑purchase component of the program remains unfilled.
