ADDENDUM #1 RFP- PUPIL TRANSPORTATION SUPPLEMENTAL OOD
AND VAN SERVICES
2026-2027 SCHOOL YEAR
The following questions were received from proposers with the response in red:
Question 1:
Would the District be interested in bids for cost-effective alternative transportation
solutions using sedans and SUVs as a supplement when smaller vehicles can most
efficiently meet transportation needs on an as-needed basis? Yes.
Question 2:
In order to offer the most price-competitive and cost-effective solution, our pricing is not
based on a traditional per-day or per-hour bus route model. Instead, pricing consists of a
base fee plus a per-mile fee. May proposals reflect this pricing structure so that costs are
evaluated appropriately. Pricing must be per bus/day.
Question 3:
In order to assist proposers in offering competitive pricing, please provide the following,
if available:
* Current and or previous contractor(s) Durham School Service / National Express /
We Drive U
* Current contractor rates van $664.82 daily monitor $198 daily

* Monthly ridership big bus 68-72% vans 87-92%
* Average number of riders per one-way trip 3-5
* Number of one-way trips per month all students are provided (HTS)
transportation to and from school.
* Average mileage per one-way trip 22 miles per trip estimated
* Total trip mileage per month 17,000 estimated
Question 5:
