About this opportunity
The Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop L Reading Station, is seeking a snow removal services contractor for its facility located at 600 Kenhorst Blvd., Reading, PA. The procurement is an on-call contract for comprehensive snow removal services, including plowing sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas, as well as applying granular deicing material. The contract duration spans from November 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026, with vendors required to prioritize the PSP facility due to its critical operational nature. Key deliverables include efficient snow plowing, hand shoveling, and deicing material application, with labor charges limited to actual on-site time. Vendors must provide adequately sized equipment and register arrival and departure times. The bid submission deadline is August 16, 2021, with only electronic bid responses accepted through the PA Supplier Portal. A mandatory site visit is required, and vendors must complete and submit a Proof of Visit form signed by the Station Commander or designee prior to the bid opening date.
This procurement is specifically set aside for small businesses, requiring mandatory self-certification through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov before the bid opening date. Vendors must pass a federal fingerprint background check and carry specific insurance, including Workers' Compensation, Public Liability, and Property Damage coverage. Contractors will be responsible for repairing any potential damage to parking lots, sidewalks, curbing, bumper blocks, and lawns during service performance. Liquid deicing applications are no longer accepted, and bids must be priced per ton or bag of deicing material used. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract's multi-year nature and critical service requirements suggest a potentially substantial procurement opportunity. Interested vendors must be registered in the PA Supplier Portal and monitor the DGS website for any change notices, which will be automatically incorporated into the bid specifications.
