Board approves Transfinder upgrade to give parents bus-location alerts
Summary
The board approved a not-to-exceed $17,500 purchase for Transfinder RouteFinder Plus and StopFinder parent platform; administration said the quote is valid through June 28 and annual fees for the parent module and hosting are expected to be roughly $6,000 thereafter.
Administration asked the board to approve a purchase of the Transfinder RouteFinder Plus software upgrade and a StopFinder parent platform for Fenmore Transportation at a not-to-exceed cost of $17,500, funded from district transportation funds. A staff member (addressed in the meeting as Cassie) explained the quote is valid through June 28 and that the $17,500 covers setup, upgrade and initial training; after implementation the district would pay annual fees for hosting and support that administration estimated at about $6,000 per year.
Board members asked whether the purchase was a one-time product purchase or a year-to-year contract; staff clarified it is an annual software access agreement with recurring fees and that the $17,500 includes first-year fees and setup. A motion to approve the purchase not to exceed $17,500 passed by roll call, 7–0.
