6.3  Reject All Bids for Home-to-School Student Transportation RFP Bid No. CUSD-2020-01  (Action)
 

Background Information:

CUSD has provided limited home-to-school transportation for Coronado Middle School and Silver Strand Elementary School students living in the Strand Housing and the Cays; and for Coronado Middle School and Village Elementary School students living on the Naval Amphibious Base.  CUSD's five-year contract with South Bay Union School District to provide these services ends on June 30, 2020.

 

Education Code Section 39802 requires bidding for expenditures of $10,000 or more unless the contract is within a "common carrier or a municipality owned transit system, or a parent or guardian of the pupils to be transported."  The cost of providing home-to-school transportation is approximately $200K annually.  

Reports:

In May 2020, CUSD released a request for proposals RFP#CUSD 2020-01 in order to secure another contract to continue providing home-to-school transportation services and received one (1) bid with a cost of over $700K annually.  

 

The bid amount exceeds CUSD's budgeted allocation for this program.  Staff recommend that all bids are rejected and consider releasing another request for proposals while considering alternative arrangements or options.  

Financial Impact:
There is no financial impact at this time. 

Superintendent's Recommendation:

Staff recommends that the Board reject all bids received for Student Transportation RFP #CUSD-2020-01.
