Transportation Services

YES Prep Public Schools is seeking a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive student transportation services for K‑12 across its charter schools in the Houston area. The contract will initially run for one year (July 1 2027 – June 30 2028) with the option to extend up to four additional one‑year terms, for a maximum of five years. Services include daily route transportation, special‑population transportation (special education, McKinney‑Vento), field‑trip and event transportation, and related operational support such as routing software, driver staffing, vehicle maintenance, and safety compliance. No minimum service volume is guaranteed; the contractor must be able to scale up or down based on enrollment and operational needs. Key requirements include providing 71‑passenger Type C buses (preferably Thomas C2), maintaining a fleet age ≤10 years, offering wheelchair‑accessible vehicles, maintaining substitute driver/monitor rosters (≥15 % & ≥10 % respectively), and delivering on‑time performance metrics measured via GPS. The contractor must also handle invoicing for field trips, provide two‑way radios, smart‑phone communication for staff, and comply with extensive background‑check and safety standards.
