CONTRACT: Snow Plowing and Removal Services

The State of New Hampshire, specifically through the Department of Administrative Services' Division of Procurement and Support Services, is soliciting bids for Snow Plowing and Removal Services across multiple state facilities under Request for Bid (RFB) 3070-26. The procurement covers comprehensive snow management services for approximately 16 locations in various cities including Concord, Colebrook, Conway, Lebanon, and Allenstown, serving multiple state agencies such as Business and Economic Affairs, Health & Human Services, Natural and Cultural Resources, Lottery Commission, Liquor Commission, and Bureau of Court Facilities. Contractors must provide snow plowing, removal, and treatment services with specific performance requirements, including clearing snow at two-inch accumulation, maintaining bare and dry pavement conditions, and using appropriate de-icing materials. The bid requires precise operational standards, such as clearing sites before 7:00 or 8:00 a.m., using rubber blades or snow blowers, and ensuring accessibility to critical infrastructure. The original bid response deadline was October 8, 2025, at 10:30 AM Eastern Time, with a potential contract duration of two years through July 31, 2027, and possible two-year extension. Mandatory site visits are required for some locations, with specific viewing dates and contact information provided for potential bidders.

The contract allows participation by political sub-divisions and nonprofit agencies, with no specific set-aside designations mentioned. Vendors must provide comprehensive general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and comply with workers' compensation requirements. Performance guarantees are included, with up to 20% of annual fees potentially at risk for non-compliance based on service quality, response time, and facility damage prevention. Environmentally friendly practices are encouraged, with guidelines for minimizing use of materials like PVC and polystyrene. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the bid includes a pricing spreadsheet (Attachment 1) that allows vendors to bid on individual locations without requiring a comprehensive bid for all sites, suggesting flexibility in contract value. The solicitation emphasizes green marketing guidelines and seeks contractors capable of meeting detailed site-specific snow removal requirements across diverse state facilities.
