BREAKING: Vendor Files PROTEST with @mcps over Today's EMERGENCY $9.7M Diesel Bus Purchase. EV Vendors weren't able to bid on this purchase.

Hours before the Montgomery County Board of Education is set to approve the "emergency" $9.7 million dollar purchase of DIESEL school buses an electric school bus vendor has filed a PROTEST with the MCPS Procurement Unit.  

Electric School Bus vendors were not permitted to bid on the MCPS procurement of 64 School Buses on August 5th.  That purchase, made without a public bidding process, is set to be ratified at today's Board of Education meeting with a unanimous vote of the Board.  

64 DIESEL school buses were purchased by MCPS staff on August 5th.  Why didn't they consider purchasing 64 ELECTRIC school buses in alignment with the alleged goal to convert the entire MCPS bus fleet to electric?
