Pre-RFPTransportationDetected May 28, 2026

The May 28, 2026 Lac du Bonnet council agenda lists a “Two Rivers Handi van Agreement Renewal,” indicating the Town is considering renewal of its service agreement with the regional Handi-Van provider. No vendor decision details are included in the agenda, but the presence of a dedicated agenda item suggests terms, scope of service, and possibly costs are under review. This is a pre-RFP signal because the agreement renewal may involve updating service levels, rate structures, dispatching processes, and compliance with accessibility or safety standards.Vendors in paratransit operations, scheduling/dispatch software, fleet management, and mobility consulting could engage to help the Town and Two Rivers refine service delivery, introduce technology, or explore funding options before the renewal is finalized.

Regional Handi-Van service agreements often run multi-year; this renewal could set terms through the next contract period.

Budget Planning

Franklin Pierce Schools updated the transportation vehicle fund (TVF) policy to allow spending on a feasibility plan to transition from gas or diesel school buses to electric or zero emission school buses. The same fund can also be used for charging stations, fueling stations, and conversion or repower work. This points to a future fleet electrification decision, but no timetable or vendor is selected yet.

Budget Planning

The transportation vehicle fund (TVF) policy now explicitly covers purchase, installation, and repair of electric school bus charging stations and other zero emission fueling stations. That is a concrete capital signal for infrastructure planning around future bus electrification. The policy change does not identify a site, budget amount, or contractor.
