Bid-PW-snow services for special service districts

The City of Minneapolis is requesting bids for snow removal and maintenance services across eleven Special Service Districts under Event 4317, with bids due October 22, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. CDT and a pre-bid meeting scheduled October 9 at 10:00 a.m. via Microsoft Teams. No set-aside or SUBP participation goals apply; however, aspirational employment goals of 20% female and 32% minority workforce representation are mandated by the State of Minnesota as performance targets, not hiring requirements.

The scope encompasses sidewalk snow clearing and ice control, sidewalk snow hauling, parking lot snow clearing and hauling, and ice control operations across eleven districts: 48th & Chicago, 50th & France, Bloomington-Lake, Central Avenue, Chicago-Lake, Dinkytown, Eat Street, Lowry Hill, Lyndale-Lake, Stadium Village, and Uptown. Each district is a separate line item and potential contract award. Bidders may submit pricing for one, multiple, or all districts and may be awarded multiple districts. Services run November 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, with options for mutual extension through four additional winter seasons. Pricing is structured on a lump sum basis for up to 24 inches of seasonal snowfall, with monthly billing at 20 percent of the seasonal bid amount November through March, and overages billed at 1/24th of the seasonal amount per inch above 24 inches. Alternatively, contractors may propose hourly per-person rates for certain service types. Bidders must submit equipment lists, supervisor credentials with years of experience, personnel rosters, subcontractor information, and five professional references.

Performance and payment bonds are required at the bid amount or $50,000, whichever is less. Prior-year contract amounts ranged from $113,166 to $149,850 per SSD. Questions are due October 13 at 12:00 p.m.; addenda will be posted by October 15. Project specifications and bid forms are available through QuestCDN (eBidDoc #10399402) for $10 or through the City's eSupplier Portal. A 2% bid deposit is required. Prevailing wage requirements do not apply.
