From the meeting
At its September 28, 2026 special meeting, the board considered a School Transportation Service Contract with Smartride Global Services LLC dba SR Trans for student transportation services. The agenda showed the district was ready to move with this provider, with board vote the remaining decision point in the packet. This is relevant for transportation operators and route-support vendors because the district's student transport work was already being lined up.

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.

Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Garfield Heights City Schools's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
