2025 Citywide Snow Removal Services Excluding DEN

The City and County of Denver is seeking bids for 2025 Citywide Snow Removal Services, excluding Denver International Airport, through a comprehensive solicitation released on May 14, 2025. The procurement requires contractors to provide snow removal, de-icing, and traction agent application services across multiple municipal facilities, including police districts, detention centers, community centers, and shelters. Contractors must respond within two hours when snow accumulation reaches one inch, using various equipment such as 4-wheel drive trucks with snow wings, dump trucks, sanding vehicles, all-terrain vehicles, snow blowers, and hand shoveling techniques. The contract term is three years with potential for two additional one-year extensions, with a bid deadline of June 16, 2025 at 9:00 A.M. local time. Key deliverables include maintaining clear access to critical infrastructure, applying environmental preferable de-icing methods, conducting thorough snow removal operations, and submitting detailed event-based invoicing. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for May 23, 2025 at 9:00 A.M. via Microsoft Teams, with written questions to be answered by June 5, 2025.

The solicitation includes a robust Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) participation requirement of 17%, mandating that vendors either utilize certified firms or demonstrate good faith efforts to meet this goal. Vendors must complete several compliance documents, including a Commitment to MWBE Participation form and a List of Proposed Subcontractors, which allows for tracking business enterprise classifications such as Minority-Owned, Small Business, Disadvantaged, and Emerging Business Enterprises. The contract requires prevailing wage compliance, with minimum wages determined by the Career Service Board and detailed in the attached Highway General Wage Decision document. Contractors must also undergo extensive background checks, particularly for employees working at secure facilities, and maintain specific insurance coverages. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the pricing exhibit suggests flexible markup rates for labor and materials across three different service portfolios. The City encourages environmental sustainability and offers cooperative purchasing options for other governmental jurisdictions, indicating potential for expanded contract utilization.
