Snow Plowing Services at the: TOMAHAWK NATIONAL GUARD ARMORY

The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs (DMA) is seeking bids for snow plowing services at the Tomahawk National Guard Armory, located at 215 Armory Road in Tomahawk, Wisconsin. The contract requires a commercial snow plowing company with at least two years of experience to provide comprehensive snow removal services for the facility's lots, sidewalks, and entryways. Services must be performed annually from November 1 through March 31, with the initial contract period running from November 1, 2017, through March 31, 2018, and potential for three additional one-year renewals. Snow plowing must be completed before 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. Bidders are required to submit a signed bid cover sheet, Vendor Information Sheet, and References Sheet by the October 17, 2017 deadline. The evaluation criteria focus on selecting the lowest cost responsible and responsive bidder, with pricing to be submitted on a per-snowfall basis for different snow depth ranges. A pre-bid site visit is strongly recommended, and a pre-season meeting with the Area Buildings and Grounds Superintendent is mandatory before the contract's November start.

The procurement offers a 5% price preference for state-certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBEs) and Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (DVBs). Bidders must provide a Certificate of Insurance with specified minimum coverage limits from a Wisconsin-licensed insurance company with a minimum AM Best rating of A1. Contractors are responsible for all property damage resulting from snow plowing operations and must complete repairs by May 1 following each contract season. The solicitation includes provisions for vendors to declare various certifications, including Minority Business Enterprise, Disabled Veteran-Owned Business, Veteran-Owned Business, and Small Business status. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the pricing structure requires quotes for lot plowing and sidewalk maintenance across three snowfall ranges (2" to 5.9", 6" to 9.9", and 10" or more), with additional pricing for on-call salting and sanding services. The DMA reserves the right to terminate the contract with 10 days' written notice or immediately if service performance threatens health and safety or insurance requirements are not maintained.
