The base proposal shall be the amount charged per year to furnish the buses, including standby buses for operation of daily and weekend schedules, in accordance with the specifications spelled out in the proposal. The hourly additive rate for bus operations shall be based on the beginning of the route and shall conclude with the last appearance of the bus at the final stop of the route.

The contract(s) will be awarded based on an evaluation of the proposer's submission, taking into the account the proposer's ability to address successfully the full intent of the Request for Proposal.
