Sidewalk Snow Removal

The Village of Wampsville is soliciting sealed bids for sidewalk and parking-lot snow removal from October 1, 2026, through April 30, 2027, with bids due September 1, 2026. The contract is awarded to the lowest responsible bidder and carries a prevailing wage requirement under New York State Department of Labor rates (PRC# 2025900923).

Snow removal is triggered when accumulation reaches 3 inches deep. Sidewalks must be cleared by 7:00 a.m. the following day and plowed at the beginning and end of school days when the 3-inch threshold is met. The scope includes village sidewalks, stairs, and handicapped ramp; village hall parking lot; and fire department parking lot with back-blading at garage doors to prevent ice buildup. Snow must be pushed to the back right side of the parking lot with no piling near signage, handicapped ramps, or garbage receptacles. The contractor must provide all equipment, vehicles, tools, and labor at their own expense and maintain a backup unit for mechanical failures.

Bidders must submit sealed bids with pricing stated in both figures and words, complete contractor qualifications documentation, and a non-collusive bidding certification. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation coverage and comprehensive general liability with minimum limits of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate. The Village Board will notify the successful bidder within forty-five days of bid opening; the awardee must execute the contract and provide proof of insurance within seven days of notification or forfeit bid security. The incumbent contractor, Dereck Fields, has held this contract from 2015 to present. Monthly invoices are submitted after the third Monday of each month, with payment on the first Tuesday of the following month. The Village reserves the right to withhold payment for unsatisfactory performance and may terminate the contract upon ten days' written notice.
