REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL
RFP 0391
 
Jefferson Parish Department of Purchasing is soliciting a Request for Proposals (RFP)
from qualified firms to provide CHARTER BUS SERVICE FOR TEAM TRAVEL FOR JEFFERSON PARISH ATHLETIC TEAMS ON AN AS-NEEDED BASIS FOR A PERIOD OF TWO YEARS WITH AN OPTION OF ONE ADDITIONAL YEAR
For the Jefferson Parish Department of Parks and Recreation.
 
Each year (depending upon the success of several athletic teams), the Jefferson Parish Recreation Department supplies travel accommodations to athletic team(s) that have earned the right to participate in tournaments outside of Jefferson Parish.  Included in these accommodations is the rental of a charter bus, and its driver, for each tournament that JPRD teams participate in for the period of that tournament.    Primarily these tournaments take place in July and August, though bus services may also be used for other Jefferson Parish athletic teams throughout the period of this agreement.  Living accommodations are provided to the driver by Jefferson Parish during each stay.  The buses are needed for travel to other parishes within Louisiana, states bordering Louisiana, and/or other states within the continental United States.  Tournaments typically last 4-8 days, though the amount of days of each trip is based upon the success of the team in its respective tournament.  Locations and dates of the tournaments that Jefferson Parish participates in will not be known until 2-10 days prior to each tournament.  These services will be required on an as-needed basis.  Projections for the amount of required buses are difficult because of the difficulty to determine if our athletic teams will qualify for these tournaments.
 
All proposals will be evaluated on criteria such as vendor’s technical proposal, qualifications and experience, financial profile and proposal responsiveness and other
criteria more specifically defined in the RFP document. The maximum total points for
each proposal are set at 100 points
