Collin College's truck-driving program would run through a new five-year contract under a proposal before the college's trustees on Friday, Oct. 30.
The bid report for the board's regular meeting recommends awarding a contract for commercial driver's license training and testing to R & B Vocational Training, LLC. The firm would give eligible students access to qualified instructors, training vehicles and the testing they need to finish the program, according to the purchase request.
The college is asking trustees to authorize up to $2 million for the contract, which would run from Nov. 1, 2026, through Oct. 31, 2031. Spending under the previous contract totaled $1,545,281, the document says. The money would come from the operating budget of the college's continuing education professional development department for fiscal 2027 and later years, subject to board approval of those budgets.
How the vendor was picked
The college issued a request for proposals, FY2026-RFP-065, and received four responses. Department staff scored them, and R & B Vocational Training's proposal was rated the best value based on the evaluation criteria, the request says. College administrators say the contract will help students earn a CDL and prepare for jobs in commercial transportation.
