Contract for Br 392/Mohawk/Snow Removal Secretary of State

The Michigan Department of State is seeking a snow removal services contract for Branch #392, located at 3616 US Hwy 41 in Mohawk, Jackson County. The contract, running from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2023 with two potential one-year renewals, requires comprehensive snow removal and de-icing services for the entire paved area, sidewalks, and building entrances. Contractors must remove snow when accumulation reaches 2 inches or more, with all services completed by 8:00 am the following business day. The scope includes an estimated 28-30 snow removal occasions for 2-6 inch accumulations, 15 occasions for accumulations over 6 inches, and approximately 15-20 de-icing services annually. Bidders must demonstrate profitability, provide their own equipment and backup services, and obtain prior agency approval for front-end loader usage. Evaluation will focus on the contractor's ability to meet operational requirements, with monthly billing contingent upon branch manager approval.

The procurement appears to have a Sheltered Workshop preference under P.A. 431 of 1984, suggesting potential set-aside opportunities for specific types of organizations. Contractors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $500,000 Commercial General Liability, Automobile Liability, and Workers' Compensation insurance. The contract incorporates both state and potential federal procurement provisions, which include additional compliance requirements around equal employment opportunity, wage standards, and anti-kickback regulations. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-year contract structure and detailed service requirements suggest a moderate-value procurement. The contract terms include standard state provisions for delivery, payment (net 45 days), inspection periods, warranties, termination rights, indemnification, and confidentiality, indicating a comprehensive and structured procurement approach designed to ensure reliable snow removal services for the specified state branch location.
