Description

IDEA Public Schools is seeking one or more licensed charter bus and motor‑coach providers to deliver on‑demand transportation for its Texas campuses across seven regions.

No minimum volume is guaranteed; pricing will be used district‑wide. Providers must supply clean, inspected vehicles, qualified drivers with required endorsements, maintain all permits, and handle all operating costs (fuel, maintenance, driver expenses). The agreement runs Jan 1 2027 – Dec 31 2027 with up to four one‑year renewal options. Proposals are due Oct 30 2026; a virtual pre‑bid meeting is Oct 21 2026 (optional).

RFP #11-CHTRBUS-1226

Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical charter‑bus rates in Texas (≈ $1,200‑$2,500 per day per bus) and assuming an average of 10‑15 trips per month across the seven regions, annual spend could range from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The estimate accounts for vehicle operation costs, driver wages, fuel surcharges, insurance, and administrative fees, with variability depending on actual trip volume and number of awarded providers.
