CHARTER BUS SERVICE

Little Rock School District (LRSD) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified charter‑bus providers capable of transporting staff and students on an as‑needed basis. Companies must register and submit required documentation (UCR, USDOT, liability insurance, motor carrier certificates, company profile, etc.) through the Ion Wave procurement system by the response deadline. The District will issue purchase orders for in‑state trips and may issue advance payments for out‑of‑state trips on a case‑by‑case basis. Selection will be based on the best arrangement and price; the District will not consider paper, fax, or email submissions without prior approval. • Service: Charter bus transportation for staff and students, on‑demand. • Scope: Provide buses, drivers, insurance, and all required motor carrier certifications. • Submission method: Electronic only via Ion Wave portal; registration required. • Mandatory attachments: Unified Carrier Registration, USDOT certificate, liability insurance, motor carrier certificate (Arkansas), company profile. • Timeline: Issue 8/28/2026 → Questions due 9/4/2026 → Response due 9/11/2026. • Contact: Deaundrea Galvin, Procurement & Materials Management (501) 447‑2268, [email protected].
