Vendors must provide as an
attachment a listing of their passenger bus fleet by Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN), Make, Model, and Vehicle Year that meet or exceed the requirements
of Invitation to Bid No. 2K19-09B. For
each vehicle that meets or exceeds the requirements of Invitation to Bid No.

Type of Addition: Cancellation Information
Overview: The sole respondent to Bid No. 2K19-09B was Spirit Coach. However, Spirit Coach could not guarantee that the Band would receive charter buses meeting the specifications of the bid due to the buses in their fleet that did meet the specifications being allocated to Alabama A&M University's Football Team, thus leaving a shortage of suitable charter buses. Also, Spirit Coach was sold out for two dates required on the proposal sheet. For these reasons, Bid No. 2K19-09B has been cancelled and will be re-issued.
