Title
Day Camp Field Trip Bussing - Approval
History
On March 26, 2010, requests for proposals were sent out regarding bussing needs for camp participants during the day camp season. Transportation is used for all camp groups (Buddies, Voyagers, Adventurers, and Summer Pals) for field trips and pool shuttles.
Two bus companies submitted proposals (Illinois School Bus and Illinois Central School Bus). After review of the proposals, staff determined that Illinois School Bus met all the required needs of the program. This company has also serviced our summer camp program in the past without incident and staff has been satisfied with their service.
Staff is requesting approval to accept the proposal and award the contract to Illinois School Bus for summer 2010 with the option to renew for the summer 2011 season. Staff is also requesting approval of a blanket order for $32,000 to draw payment for services to the bus company at time of invoicing.
Financial Impact
This service has been budgeted for and costs will come out of budget line item #283-4002-451-9060.
