The County of Hawai‘i’s solicitation numbered 26-0241 seeks bids for a price term agreement to provide bus transportation services for the 2026 Summer Fun Program under the Department of Parks & Recreation. Bids must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement Portal by May 16, 2026, with no alternative submission methods accepted. The contract period covers services from June 8 through July 17, 2026, with delivery terms specifying FOB destination, inclusive of all freight and handling charges. The scope involves scheduled bus trips for various program dates and locations within Hawai‘i County, with detailed line items identifying individual routes and service days, though pricing information remains incomplete in the solicitation. The procurement is governed primarily by Hawai‘i Revised Statutes and Administrative Rules rather than federal FAR clauses, and the contract incorporates provisions typical to state public contracts, including compliance with local labor laws, tax clearance requirements, and mandatory insurance coverage with specified minimums and rating standards. Contractors must possess a commercial driver’s license (CDL Type B with S Endorsement) and meet nondiscrimination obligations. Evaluation of proposals will be conducted on a best value basis, considering performance factors and compliance rather than price alone, and the County reserves sole discretion in acceptance of deliverables. Payment terms require submission of proper invoices with payment authorized by the Chief Procurement Officer within 30 days, but no federal invoicing systems are specified. The contracting agency’s points of contact are clearly provided for administrative and procurement inquiries, while submission guidelines emphasize strict adherence to the electronic portal for proposal receipt.
