THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Rapides Parish School Board plans to formalize and expand annual physical requirements for bus operators, attendants, and activity operators, adding physical performance tasks. Louisiana Occupational Health Services (LOHS) helped design lifting, dexterity, and stair-climbing tests, and the district estimates a $34,840 cost in 2026-2027 from the General Fund. This creates a defined, recurring occupational health and testing need where vendors can offer physicals, fitness-for-duty testing, injury prevention, and related services or software to manage compliance.
Covers 248 bus operators, 50 bus attendants, and 103 activity operators; funded by the General Fund and tied to DOT, FMCSA, and Louisiana law compliance.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
