PSP Mansfield Station Snow Removal

The Pennsylvania State Police is seeking an on-call snow removal services contract for the Mansfield Station (Troop F), covering snow removal from sidewalks, driveways, and parking areas. The procurement is specifically for Warren County and involves furnishing all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform snow removal and deicing services. The contract period runs from November 1, 2016, through June 30, 2021, with quantities based on estimated snow removal and granular deicing material measured in hours, tons, and bags. Bidders must complete and submit a Proof of Visit form signed by the Station Commander or designee, which must be mailed or faxed to the procurement contact, Kathleen Kulp, by the bid opening date of August 31, 2016. Only electronic bid responses will be accepted, and all interested vendors must be registered on the PA Supplier Portal (www.pasupplierportal.state.pa.us). Vendors are required to monitor the DGS website (www.emarketplace.state.pa.us) for any potential change notices to the Invitation for Bid (IFB).

This procurement is exclusively set aside for small businesses, mandating that all bidders must self-certify as a small business prior to the bid opening date through www.smallbusiness.pa.gov. Failure to obtain small business certification by the specified deadline will result in the bid being deemed unresponsive and automatically disqualified from consideration. The contract includes specific line items for snow removal services and a separate line for deicing material application, which is only to be used during icing events when plowing is not required. While no specific budget range or award value is explicitly stated, the multi-year contract duration and comprehensive service requirements suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity for qualified small businesses in the region. The procurement process emphasizes electronic submission, vendor registration, and strict compliance with certification and documentation requirements.
