Bus Services

Obtaining Bus Services

• Contact one or more of the vendors above to discuss your event needs (please do so with as much advanced notice as possible).
• You will need to get a quote from the vendor. Procurement recommends obtaining pricing from multiple vendors, as there are price differences among them.
• If you have long-term bus needs (i.e. athletic events / games), you can schedule the services long term with any of the vendors.  We can also set up a Standing Purchase Order (“SPO”) if appropriate.
• If the cost is less than $5,000 for the event, you can pay with Direct Pay or OneCard; you do not need a Purchase Order.
• If the cost is more than $5,000 for the event, please contact procurement@mines.edu to issue a PO.
  

Other Information

When booking make sure you identify that you are with Colorado School of Mines and there is an existing contract between Mines and the vendor.

• Each group is responsible for booking their own buses as well as paying for their own invoices.
• Each vendor has a variety of buses in their fleet so verify they have the one that fits your needs.
• Some of the vendors have a minimum number of hours.
• Some of the vendors require a deposit.
• Hermes Worldwide has stricter terms on their contract, what that means for you is if passengers damage the bus, Mines will
  be responsible for paying the damage and then it is up to Mines to get reimbursement from the student.
