Background: The Administration is requesting authorization to waive the three-year term limit of Administrative Policy 3.09(9)(e) and extend contracts with the following contractors for specialized needs transportation services: Dairyland Buses, Inc.; First Student, Inc.; and Lakeside Buses of Wisconsin, Inc.

These vendors were all chosen pursuant to RFP 879. The original contracts provided for two one-year options to extend which have been exercised. The additional extension term is needed for two reasons: 1) to keep these specialty contracts separate from the regular school day-bussing contracts as issuing these RFPs and finalizing the multitude of contracts resulting therefrom at the same time is overly burdensome; and 2) to ensure that adequate wheelchair and early childhood services are available for the FY18 summer session and FY19 school year. The Administration anticipates issuing a RFP for these services in fall 2018.

Each contract extension will run from July 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019. The total cost of the contracts in this extension year will not exceed $7,361,200.
