Snow Plowing Services at the HAYWARD NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY, 10691 MAIN STREET and the HAYWARD FIELD MAINTENANCE SHOP

The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs (DMA) is soliciting bids for snow plowing services at two specific locations in Hayward, Wisconsin: the Hayward National Guard Armory at 10691 Main Street and the Hayward Field Maintenance Shop #12 at 9745 North Boys Camp Road. The contract requires a commercial snow plowing company with a minimum of two years' experience to provide comprehensive snow removal services, including plowing, snow blowing, shoveling, and snow piling across designated parking areas, sidewalks, and entryways. The initial contract period runs from November 1, 2018, through March 31, 2019, with potential for two additional one-year renewals based on mutual agreement. Bidders must submit completed bid documents, including a Bid Cover Sheet, Vendor Information Sheet, and References Sheet by September 18, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. CDT. Evaluation criteria include being the lowest cost responsible and responsive bidder, with a required submission of two to four references from similar-sized projects completed within the past two years. Questions and clarifications were required to be submitted by October 16, 2018, with contact points including Dana Casey and Jimmy Richardson at 608-242-3366.

The solicitation includes a 5% price preference for state-certified Minority-Owned Businesses (MBEs), Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (DVBs), and veteran-owned businesses, with additional consideration for small businesses with less than $1.5 million in gross annual sales. Contractors must maintain a Certificate of Insurance with specified minimum liability limits and are responsible for all property damage during service performance. The bid requires pricing on a per-snowfall basis, with separate rates for snowfall ranges of 1"-5.9", 6"-9.9", and 10" or more, plus on-call salting and sanding services. Subcontracting requires pre-approval from DMA, and the department reserves the right to terminate the contract with ten days' written notice or immediately if service performance threatens health and safety or insurance requirements are not maintained. Bidders must also indicate whether services will be performed in the United States and if materials are American-made. While no specific budget range was explicitly stated, the detailed site maps for both locations provide comprehensive area measurements that would help contractors develop accurate cost estimates for the snow removal services.
