Snow Plowing and Removal

Services are required at Bloomingdale High School, Bloomingdale Middle School, Bloomingdale Elementary, Bloomingdale Bus Garage, Bloomingdale storage building lot, and Pullman Elementary Building and Bus Garage.

The contractor must plow student and staff parking lots, entrance drives, fire lanes, service drives, and sidewalks at each location. A front-end loader must be maintained on site for snow removal operations. The contractor is responsible for all spring cleanup work resulting from plowing damage, including grass restoration, gravel removal, and curb repair, at no cost to the district by March 31 of each contract year.

Pricing must be submitted on a per-job basis for each plowing operation and must include an hourly rate for additional contracted work. Bidders must provide proof of Public Liability and Property Damage insurance, including Automobile and Comprehensive General Liability coverage, with their bid submission. Invoices must document plowing service dates and include details and hours for any extra work performed.

Bidders may request a meeting with the Transportation Office at (269) 521-3906 to review specific plowing areas. Sealed bids must be received by mail or email to Chris Serdel at cserdel@bdalecards.org. Bloomingdale Public Schools Board of Education reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals and retains the option to perform plowing services in-house if feasible.
