WAC 392-142-214. Alternative bid process

Districts are not required to use the state school bus quote process to purchase a school bus. However, a district using another process shall only be reimbursed for a school bus if the school district uses a lowest-price competitive bid process conducted in accordance with the requirements of RCW 28A.335.190 . Regardless of purchase process, all school buses must meet the requirements established in the school bus specifications manual.
