STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 12551C1
The purpose of this legislation is to allow school districts who
contract transportation services to be able to negotiate the
current contract for an additional five (5) years without going
through the bid process for one time only.
This legislation will allow a school district to eliminate the
time and expense of the bid process for the one time only,
providing the negotiation is successful. It also provides the
contractor a longer period of time to amortize capital purchases.
