020-PSP Montoursville HQ Snow Removal

The Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop F Montoursville Headquarters, is seeking a snow removal services contractor for its facility, with the procurement covering sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas. The contract is an on-call, 1st priority service opportunity spanning five years from November 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026. Contractors will be responsible for snow removal and granular deicing material application, with payment structured monthly based on actual services rendered. All invoices must be submitted before May 15th each contract year. The bid is exclusively for electronic submissions, and a mandatory pre-bid site visit is required, where vendors must complete and submit a signed Proof of Visit form by the bid opening date of August 9, 2021. The service will involve removing snow and applying deicing materials as directed by the station commander, with pricing based on tons, parts thereof, or bags of materials used. Vendors must have appropriately sized equipment to perform work efficiently and be prepared to respond quickly to snow events.

This procurement is specifically set aside for small businesses, requiring mandatory self-certification through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Failure to obtain small business certification by the due date will result in bid disqualification. Potential contractors must undergo criminal background checks, maintain specific insurance coverages, and be prepared to repair any damage to facility surfaces during service performance. While no specific contract value is explicitly stated, the five-year duration suggests a potentially significant opportunity for the selected vendor. The contract covers jurisdictions including Dauphin County, Montgomery County, Harveys Lake Borough, and Morrisdale CDP, though the actual service location is the Montoursville State Police Headquarters. Vendors must register on the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us) to submit bids and are responsible for monitoring the Department of General Services website (www.emarketplace.state.pa.us) for any potential bid amendment notices.
