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

Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) Staunton District is soliciting bids for snow and ice removal services in the Harrisonburg Residency area for the 2026-2027 winter season under the M7B program, with bids due January 8, 2027. This is a notice-only opportunity; bids are submitted through plow4va.vdot.virginia.gov, not eVA.

The scope covers snow and ice removal services on designated Harrisonburg routes using equipment across multiple categories: 4WD pickup trucks, single-axle and multi-axle dump trucks, farm tractors, rubber tire loaders, motor graders, backhoes, anti-icing chemical spray tanks, dozers, wreckers, and telehandlers. Operators must hold CDL or non-CDL licenses as applicable. Equipment configurations vary based on plow type (owner-provided or VDOT-provided) and spreader options.

Compensation is structured as operational rates, minimum guaranteed payments (MGP), and bonus payments. Operational rates range from $43 per hour for non-CDL operators to $407 per hour for 25-ton wreckers, with most equipment-based services priced between $100 and $317 per operational hour. MGPs range from $1,000 to $5,000 by equipment category. Bonus payments of $1,000 to $1,500 are available for specific equipment configurations, incentivizing contractors to provide their own plows and spreaders. Rate schedules and operational terms reflect FY2026 pricing structures detailed in the Staunton District M7B Max Operational Rates document.

All critical submission dates, instructions, performance requirements, and contract terms are specified in the accompanying notice and supporting materials available through the plow4va.vdot.virginia.gov portal. Prospective contractors must review all attachments to understand eligibility requirements, funding sources, and service-area obligations.
