Tire Lease Service and Support

Request for Proposals (RFP) #24-08

Tire Lease Service and Support

The Monterey-Salinas Transit District (MST) invites qualified, responsible contractors to submit proposals for the leasing of tires on a mileage basis and related, on-site tire service and support. This Contract intends to limit, reduce, or altogether remove MST’s involvement in tire-related work, except where specifically required. MST currently operates eighty-seven (87) public transit buses and thirty-two (32) support vehicles in Monterey County, California. These specifications describe the rental and service requirements for leasing, maintaining, servicing, and supporting tires for MST’s fleet. The fleet currently consists of vehicles with leased tire sizes as listed in Appendix A. MST will exercise a tire “run-out” lease option with Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, MST’s current tire leasing company. The new tire leasing company will remove these older leased tires as described in the Scope of Services below and replace them with new, leased tires.
