From the meeting
The agenda scheduled approval of a bus purchase funded from the 2027-2028 budget year. The request was for two 77-passenger buses and one 47-passenger wheelchair-lift bus, with a total package price of $475,031 from Longhorn Bus Sales. Because the funding source is the future 2027-2028 budget, this is also a budget-planning signal for fleet replacement timing and future order placement.
The proposal was dated October 8, 2026 and said pricing was valid for 30 days.

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 Red Oak Independent 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.
