Snow Clearing Services for Lewistown Readiness Center

The State of Montana Department of Military Affairs is seeking a contractor to perform comprehensive snow clearing services for the Lewistown Readiness Center located in Garfield County. The solicitation is an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for multiple snow removal services, including parking lot and driving lane snow clearing, drift removal, storage removal, and optional services such as sand, de-icer, and salt application. A mandatory pre-bid walkthrough is required, and only vendors who attend will have their bids considered for award. The bid was opened on August 1, 2023, at 3:00 PM MDT and will close on August 21, 2023, at 2:00 PM MDT, with a contract term spanning from October 1, 2023, to September 30, 2024. The solicitation includes six service line items to be priced on an all-inclusive cost per event basis, with payment terms of Net 30. Bidders must complete several prerequisites, including signing a Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services Representation form and providing a Federal Tax ID. Vendors are encouraged to submit questions through the Q&A Board and can contact Rebecca Gregg at rebecca.k.gregg2.naf@army.mil or +1 406-324-3620 for additional information.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the bid requires vendors to meet specific qualifications and submission requirements. The state has provided a worksheet to help vendors develop competitive pricing for each service type, though submission of this worksheet is not mandatory. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate capability in snow removal services and have the necessary equipment and resources to handle multiple snow clearing tasks at the Lewistown Readiness Center. The solicitation does not specify an exact budget range or award value, but vendors will be expected to submit competitive per-event pricing for the various snow clearing services. Payment will be processed through standard government procurement channels with Net 30 terms. No information was provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements, suggesting this may be a new or rebid contract for snow clearing services.
