Unit and Method of Compensation: Fixed fee per trip
Term of Contract: Option Year 1: July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021

each option period. If the contract amount for one or more of the option periods differs from

Base Period Amount: (NTE) $990,000.00
Option Period 1 Amount: (NTE) $1,963,653.75
Explanation of difference from base period (if applicable):

changes in student routing needs and capacity of additional contractors for transportation services.
1
(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
ALC shall provide alternative student transportation services to eligible District of Columbia
students to and from education programs and their homes, in accordance with the Individuals with
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) 34 CFR. In addition to transportation services, ALC must
provide a vehicle attendant to accompany the student during the transport service.
Method of delivery for transportation and attendant services will be in-person, twice per school day.
Deliverables such as completed trip tickets, accident and/or incident reports, no show reports, and
employee information will be delivered electronically.
There are no significant changes in the contract. However, the student transportation routes planned
for Option Year 1 have now increased due to the other alternative student transportation and
attendants contracts expiring on September 30, 2020. The original contract total for Option Year 1
was originally $990,000.00 and now it will increase to $1,963,653.75.
(D) The selection process, including the number of offerors, the evaluation criteria, and the
evaluation results, including price, technical or quality, and past performance components:
The State of Texas Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) Procurement Office issued Request for
Proposals (RFP) #19-04 on January 23, 2019 to establish a national cooperative contract for alternate
student/customer transportation. There were a total of 110 vendors invited to the RFP, of which 2 offerors
responded, Adroit and ALC.
The evaluation factors for the RFP are as follows:
Factor Total Weighted Value (0 100 Points)
Product/ Pricing 40
Performance Capability 25
Qualifications and Experience 25
Value Added 10
Total Points 100
ALCs technical and price proposal received the highest score and was selected by The Cooperative
Purchasing Network (TCPN) to be awarded the cooperative agreement.
The contracting officer for OSSEs Division of Student Transportation found that participating in the
cooperative agreement is advantageous to the District of Columbia due to the alignment of requirements to the
Districts student transportation needs, the quality and capacity of their service, and considerable cost savings
for the services. ALCs rate is the lowest per trip cost amongst the current contractors that provide the
alternative student transportation and attendants services and they are capable. ALC has provided satisfactory
services to the District since July 2019, successfully meeting all needs.

and capacity, which they successfully provided, and entered into the cooperative agreement with

was scored positively by the contract administrator as they provide quality service and present no
issues with providing the services. Additionally, ALC provides transportation services to support
COVID-related transportation needs (meal deliveries), completing deliveries each day since April
13, 2020. Satisfactory performance is also proven by ALC being awarded 34 new contracts in the
