Snow Removal Services

St. Louis Community College is requesting bids for snow removal services across three campus locations with bids due September 23, 2026. Services include clearing and salting doorways, steps, and sidewalks; plowing and salting parking lots at three locations: Corporate College (Bridgeton), South County Education and University Center, and William J. Harrison Education Center (St. Louis). The third location is noted as potentially optional, and the College reserves the right to remove any location from scope at any time.

The contract term runs October 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027, with College retention of annual renewal options on a July 1 through June 30 basis. All campus buildings must be safely accessible by 6:00 a.m. Contractors must maintain cell phone communication with College facilities representatives for service authorization and scheduling. Bidders are not obligated to submit proposals for all three locations; evaluation occurs on a per-campus basis.

Unit pricing is required for five service categories: calcium chloride salting of doorways, steps, and sidewalks; sidewalk clearing for 2–3 inch and 3–4 inch accumulations; bulk salt application to parking lots; and plowing services for 2–3 inch and 3–4 inch accumulations. All bids must include labor rates per hour for each service type. No escalation provision applies during the initial contract period.

Evaluation allocates 90 points to pricing and 10 points to company profile and references. Insurance requirements include Workers' Compensation at statutory limits, Employers' Liability of $500,000, Commercial General Liability of $2,000,000 combined single limits per occurrence with $3,000,000 annual aggregate, and Comprehensive Automobile Liability of $500,000. Contractors must comply with federal work authorization requirements, including E-Verify enrollment, and submit detailed monthly invoices with weather reports and work summaries. Payment is due within 30 days of invoice receipt; the College reserves the right to withhold payment for incomplete or unsatisfactory work. Site plans are available for contractor examination prior to bidding.
