NOTICE ONLY* 2026-2027 M7B Snow Removal Services Edinburg Residency

The Virginia Department of Transportation Staunton District is soliciting bids for snow and ice removal services in the Edinburg Residency under the M7B program for the 2026-2027 contract period, with bids due February 1, 2027. Submission is through plow4va.vdot.virginia.gov, not eVA. Contractors must meet Edinburg-area residency requirements.

The scope covers snow and ice removal on designated roadways within the Edinburg Residency. VDOT has established maximum operational rates for equipment classes (4WD pickup trucks, single-axle and multi-axle dump trucks, farm tractors, rubber tire loaders, motor graders, backhoes, and specialized equipment such as anti-icing chemical spray tanks, wreckers, and telehandlers) and for CDL and non-CDL operators. Rates span from $43 per hour for non-CDL operators to $407 per hour for heavy wreckers with 25-ton towing capacity. Minimum guaranteed payments range from $1,000 to $5,000 depending on equipment category, with FY2026 bonus payments of $1,000 to $1,500 per occurrence for most categories. Equipment with VDOT-provided plows and spreaders carries lower operational rates than owner-provided equipment. Motor graders without plow attachments, backhoes without 4WD, front-end loaders, dozers, supervisor vehicles, and hauling equipment carry no minimum guaranteed or bonus payment.

The contract covers the 2026-2027 winter season. Critical dates, detailed submission instructions, prospective contractor requirements, and district-specific terms and conditions are specified in the Snow Removal M7B Agreement, Special Terms and Conditions for Staunton District, and the Maximum Operational Rates schedule, all referenced through plow4va.vdot.virginia.gov.
