Appendix_A-Snow_Removal_Equipment.docx

This is an equipment specification document (Appendix A) associated with a New Haven Public Schools snow removal and ice control solicitation for the 2026-2027 season. The document provides a standardized form for bidders to list and document all snow removal equipment they will deploy in response to the RFP. Contractors submitting proposals must itemize their plow vehicles (including make, year, Connecticut plate number, and plow size), sanders (including make, year, and cubic-yard capacity), and pay loaders (including make, year, plate number, and bucket capacity). The form accommodates multiple entries for each equipment category to allow bidders to demonstrate sufficient equipment capacity, particularly for contractors bidding on multiple zones within the New Haven Public Schools service area. The solicitation requires all equipment information to be provided on this form as part of the proposal submission.

The equipment documentation requirement ensures that bidders can substantiate their operational capacity and resource availability to perform snow removal and ice treatment services across the assigned zone(s) in the 2026-2027 season. By requiring detailed equipment specifications and registration information, the school district can verify that contractors possess adequate, properly maintained, and legally registered equipment necessary to meet service demands for snow plowing on driveways, parking lots, and walkways at multiple school facilities, offices, and storage locations. Contractors proposing on multiple zones must demonstrate through their equipment listings that they have sufficient resources to manage all proposed service areas simultaneously.
