Each agency providing
transportation services must ensure that bid announcements for school buses and
allowable alternate vehicles for use in transporting children in its program
include the correct specifications and a clear statement of the vehicle's
intended use. Such agencies must ensure that there is a prescribed procedure for
examining such vehicles at the time of delivery to ensure that they are equipped
in accordance with the bid specifications and that the manufacturer's
certification of compliance with the applicable FMVSS is included
with the vehicle.
