FABER Commun Proposal 1139 for MDUSD.pdf
Summary: The Transportation Department is seeking approval for the vendor, Faber Communications, to repair and upgrade six school bus cameras and GPS systems. The upgrade is for six buses that were not included in the Faber Communication Proposal that was approved on Agenda Item number 15.35 at the 11/13/2024 Board meeting. These six buses were out at outside repair shops and not at Transportation during the original review. The repairs are necessary to address aging equipment and ensure functionality and optimal performance. The upgrade will improve safety, monitoring, and operational efficiency for the school bus fleet. This proposal includes the purchase of an annual subscription for GPS services specifically for the MDUSD school bus fleet. The GPS service will be billed annually after the system is set up.
