If the driver is unable to bid at the allotted time, they may fill out a Bid Proxy form, available from any Office Staff member. Bid Proxy Forms should be given to the OSEA representative who will be present during the bidding process. Department staff will not bid or present Bid Proxies for drivers who are not present during bidding. An OSEA Representative is the only person who can proxy bid for drivers not present during bidding. Drivers are allowed to review the available routes in the waiting area. The District will pay drivers, who are present at fall bidding, one (1) hour to annually bid a route. At bid time, each driver will have a five (5) minute time limit when it is his or her turn to bid.

Drivers that have the same date of hire will draw lots prior to their turn. All routes will be bid as posted, including bus assignment. All routes are subject to change at the discretion of the Transportation department. Drivers are given the choice to bid on regular or special needs routes. Special education routes require the driver to be special needs certified. After the driver has selected a route, the driver signs the bid cover sheet for the route selected.
