Work Details
The successful offeror shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to transport various NNPS groups, programs and Athletic teams, including faculty, staff, and students to and from destinations designated by the School Division. The majority of the services are required by the Athletic Programs as well as other School Division groups needing charter bus services on an as needed basis. It is the School Division’s intent to enter into a contract with one or more Contractors capable of providing charter bus needs.
In the instance the contracted vendor is unable to provide the requested services, the School Division reserves the right to contract with another charter bus provider. Whenever possible, all potential offerors are encouraged to subcontract any applicable services by partnering with qualified contractors that have been certified SWaM business through the Virginia Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity (SBSD).

Period of Performance
The contract will be performed over an indefinite time frame based on the needs of Newport News Public Schools.
