Snow Plowing Services

Croswell-Lexington Community Schools is requesting proposals for snow plowing services across seven facilities for the 2026-2027 school year with a possible one-year extension and two additional optional extension years, with proposals due by 11:00 A.M. on October 2, 2026.

The scope encompasses snow plowing at Geiger Center, Frostick Elementary, Croswell-Lexington High School, Middle School, Meyer School, Senior Center, and Bus Garage, including sidewalks, building entrances, parking lots, and designated pathways. Snow removal must commence upon accumulation of two or more inches and be completed by 6:30 A.M. on school days. Pricing must be submitted on a per-occurrence basis for each of the seven sites, differentiated by three snow volume categories: greater than 2.0 inches but less than 4.0 inches, greater than 4.0 inches but less than 8.0 inches, and greater than 8.0 inches. Bidders must propose contract price increases for the 2027-28 and 2028-29 extension years if exercised.

Contractors must maintain comprehensive insurance including workers' compensation ($500,000 minimum), general liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate), and automobile liability ($1,000,000 per person / $2,000,000 per occurrence), with certificates of insurance required before service commencement. Proposals must include three professional references, authorized representative signatures, year and make of equipment specifications, familial disclosure certifications, conflict of interest certifications, and Iran Economic Sanctions Act affidavits.

The district will award based on "best value by the lowest responsible bidder," evaluating contractor capability to meet or exceed specifications and prudent stewardship of public funds beyond price alone. Proposals must remain valid for 45 days. Bid opening occurs immediately following the 11:00 A.M. deadline. Site visits with Gary Bennett, Director of Operations, are encouraged and can be scheduled at (810)-679-1025.
