THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district is updating 2026-27 bus routes and transportation arrangements under a five-year contract with First Student Inc. signed in January 2023. Reimbursable route miles are expected to increase 21% to support programs like the Bozeman Reads Early Learning Center, driving the First Student contract budget to about $5.84 million plus $30,000 for individual parent contracts. While the core contract is locked in with First Student, this growth creates needs for routing tools, safety tech, communications, and fuel-management support.
Contract uses per-route pricing and propane buses when possible; district pays for fuel and has penalties for non-performance in the contract.

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.
When will Bozeman Elementary School District issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Bozeman Elementary School District's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
