Annual Catch Basin Cleaning

The Town of New Milford, Connecticut, located in Middlesex County, is soliciting competitive bids for annual catch basin cleaning services through Solicitation #2654. The procurement is structured as an Invitation to Bid (ITB), seeking qualified firms to perform comprehensive catch basin cleaning throughout the municipality. Potential bidders must submit their proposals electronically through the Town's e-Procurement Portal, ProcureNow, by 3:30 PM EDT on August 5, 2021. The solicitation includes a vendor question and answer period running from July 7 to July 26, 2021, during which potential bidders can seek clarification about the project requirements. All bids must be complete, with all blank pricing spaces filled in, and any deviations from the specifications must be explicitly noted in the submission. Bidders are required to maintain their bid proposals for 45 days after the opening date, and the Town reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids in part or in whole. The evaluation will focus on complete bids that fully meet all specified requirements and provide the most advantageous terms for the municipality.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit details about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. The procurement documents do not disclose an estimated contract value, budget range, or specific pricing expectations, leaving these terms open to vendor specification. Delivery is designated as Free On Board Destination, with payment terms to be determined by the individual vendor. The contract appears to be open to all vendors capable of meeting the catch basin cleaning service requirements, with no apparent limitations on company size, type, or geographic location. While the documents do not outline a specific contract duration, the term "annual" suggests this is likely a one-year service agreement with potential for renewal, though no explicit renewal options are specified in the available documentation.
