PSP Jonestown Station Snow Removal

The state of Pennsylvania, specifically through the Pennsylvania State Police Procurement & Supply Division, is seeking a snow removal services contract for the Jonestown Station, covering areas in Dauphin County, Lawrence County, Harveys Lakes Borough, and Juniata Gap CDP. This on-call contract requires a vendor to provide comprehensive snow removal services, including clearing sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas, with services to be performed from November 1, 2015, through June 30, 2020. The procurement involves furnishing all necessary labor, materials, and equipment for snow removal and granular deicing, with payment made monthly based on actual services rendered. Bidders must submit electronic responses through the Pennsylvania Supplier Portal and complete a mandatory Proof of Visit form signed by the Station Commander, which must be mailed or faxed to Kathleen Kulp at the specified contact information by the bid opening date of September 9, 2015. All interested vendors must register on the system and monitor the DGS website for potential change notices, with all invoices for the season required to be submitted before May 15th of each year.

This procurement opportunity is specifically set aside for small businesses, requiring mandatory self-certification through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov prior to the bid opening date. Vendors who do not obtain small business certification by the deadline will have their bids deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified from consideration. The contract allows for snow removal and deicing services with line items for both plowing and icing events, suggesting flexibility in service delivery. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract's multi-year duration (2015-2020) indicates a potential significant value for the selected vendor. Electronic bid submissions are the only acceptable method, emphasizing the state's preference for digital procurement processes. The contract appears to be structured as an as-needed service agreement, with compensation tied directly to actual work performed during snow events.
