BACKGROUND
The City of Santa Clarita's Day Camp and Teen Travel Club provide children the opportunity to
explore various attractions throughout Southern California. Weekly trips for day campers and
daily trips for the teens are an integral part of their camp experience. Buses are required to
transport participants safely to and from their field trip destination.
Staff conducted a formal bid process to procure bus service, and received five bids. Out of those
responses, Laidlaw Education Services was the lowest responsible bidder. The bid was valid for
three years, and this is the final year of the contract. The City will go out to bid again next year
for bus service for the 2005-06 Fiscal Year.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
