Snow and Ice Maintenance Services

Washington County, Oregon is seeking a contractor for Snow and Ice Maintenance Services through a competitive bidding process (Bid No. 2025.074-ITQ) for a five-year contract period. The procurement involves comprehensive winter weather maintenance for county facilities, with services including snow plowing, shoveling, snow blowing, applying ice melt products, and removing accumulated snow from parking areas, sidewalks, steps, and ADA ramps across 30 different county buildings and locations in Hillsboro and Beaverton. The bid requires contractors to maintain appropriate licenses, permits, and certifications, and will evaluate respondents based on qualifications, past performance, and ability to meet contractual obligations. Key dates include a question submission deadline of September 15, 2025, and a final response deadline of September 18, 2025, at 2:00 pm. The county intends to award the contract to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder, with pricing structured around unit costs for various snow and ice maintenance activities, including two-hour minimum plowing rates, liquid de-icer application, granular ice melt, and gravel spreading.

The contract does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Contractors must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including maintaining Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), Professional Liability ($1,000,000/$2,000,000), and Workers' Compensation Insurance. Additional optional coverages include Pollution/Asbestos Liability, Cyber Liability, and Physical Abuse and Molestation Insurance. While specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the detailed pricing table and five-year contract duration suggest a potentially significant investment in snow and ice maintenance services. The county will require a waiver of subrogation, additional insured endorsements, and certificates of insurance prior to contract commencement. Bidders should note that the quantities listed in the pricing table are for bidding purposes only and do not represent guaranteed service volumes, and the county reserves the right to evaluate and select contractors based on comprehensive qualitative and quantitative criteria.
