From the meeting
At its October 8, 2026 meeting the superintendent said the district's buses were old, breakdowns were ongoing, and repairs could cost up to $15,000 per vehicle. He suggested budgeting for 2 more buses and said the full purchase process takes about a year, including budget approval, bidding, financing, and ordering. This is a clear fleet replacement trigger with a long lead time.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
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.
