Snow Plowing Services at the: ONALASKA NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY

The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs (DMA) is seeking bids for snow plowing services at the Onalaska National Guard Armory located at 910 Oak Forest Drive in Onalaska, Wisconsin. The procurement is for a seasonal contract covering snow removal services from November 1, 2018, through March 31, 2019, with potential three-year renewal options. Bidders must be commercial snow plowing companies with a minimum of two years of experience and able to provide two to four references from similar projects. The services require comprehensive snow removal, including plowing parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, and entryways, with specific performance requirements such as completing snow removal prior to 7:00 a.m. when two or more inches of snow is present, with preferred plowing times between 1:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. Evaluation will be based on lowest cost for submitted pricing across different snowfall depth categories (1" to 5.9", 6" to 9.9", and 10" or more), including separate pricing for on-call salting and sanding services. The bid submission deadline is September 18, 2018, at 2:00 p.m. CDT, with bids accepted via fax, email, U.S. Mail, or courier to the DMA Purchasing Unit.

The procurement offers a 5% bid preference for certified Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) and disabled veteran-owned businesses (DVB), both of which must be certified through the Wisconsin Department of Administration. Bidders are encouraged to register with VendorNet for future opportunities exceeding $50,000. Contractors must provide a Certificate of Insurance with minimum coverage limits from an AM Best A1-rated carrier and comply with American-made material requirements under Wisconsin Statutes. While no specific budget range is listed, the contract requires detailed pricing per snow event without hourly rates or fuel surcharges. Contractors must have backup equipment available and be responsible for any property damage, with repairs to be completed by May 1 following the contract season. The DMA reserves the right to modify service locations, terminate the contract with 10 days' notice for performance issues, or immediately terminate for health and safety concerns or insurance non-compliance.
