BOE Election Drivers August 2023

The Cuyahoga County Board of Elections issued an informal Request for Bid (RFB) to obtain 71 election‑night drivers and one on‑site supervisor to transport ballot materials on the night of the August 8, 2023 special election. Drivers must be uniformed, off‑duty law‑enforcement officers, provided with full personal information (including political affiliation) and must sign a chain‑of‑custody form. The work is performed from a central hub at the BOE Halle Warehouse (4005 Chester Ave, Cleveland) and may require travel to any polling location throughout Cuyahoga County. The solicitation requires vendors to submit hourly rates for drivers and the supervisor; no price is pre‑populated. Key points include: • 71 drivers × 6.5 hours each (461.5 total driver hours) plus 1 supervisor × 7 hours (7 total supervisor hours). • All services occur on a single night (August 8, 2023) with a mandatory 5:30 PM arrival at the warehouse. • Vendors must provide driver rosters with name, party affiliation, DOB, and cell phone, and adhere to an unbiased‑business conduct clause. • Bids were due July 3, 2023; the contract was subsequently awarded (vendor not disclosed).
