Discussion Item: (25 minutes) Transportation Contract
Speaker(s):
Director of Human Resources and Operations Dr. Tim Anderson
Agenda Item Type:
Action Item
Description:
Transporting students to and from school safely is a high priority for SANB. For the past four years, we have contracted with MTN and for the past two years, MTN (six routes) and Voigt (one route), to provide safe bus service. We are closing out year four of a five-year contract with our primary contractor, MTN. Again this year we have navigated a number of transportation challenges (late buses, insufficient and timely communication, uneven performance from some drivers). Consequently, in December we made the difficult decision to break our contract with MTN and pursue a requests for quotes (RFQ) process with the assistance of our CESO partners. This discussion will provide the background information necessary to make an informed decision on the requested recommendation to move forward in the bid process. |
