Snow Removal Services

The Town of Plainfield is requesting sealed proposals for snow removal services to supplement its municipal fleet during the 2026-2027 winter season, with proposals due October 29, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at Plainfield Town Hall.

The scope includes snow plowing at five fire stations (Atwood, Central Village, Moosup, and Plainfield), the Police Department, Aldrich Library, and Moosup Little League facilities. Bidders must submit a single total season price covering all listed locations. The Town will provide sand and salt; the contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, fuel, and maintenance. Bidders are responsible for familiarizing themselves with all sites and conditions before submission and must coordinate with authorized Town personnel throughout the contract period through June 30, 2027.

The season price shall remain firm throughout the contract period and must include all labor, equipment, fuel, maintenance, and associated costs with no additional charges. Payment will be made in four equal installments of 25 percent each in November 2026, December 2026, January 2027, and February 2027.

Award is based on a 100-point evaluation system: total season price (40 points), references and past performance (20 points), relevant experience and qualifications (15 points), equipment and staffing capacity (15 points), and service approach and availability (10 points). The Town is not obligated to award to the lowest-priced bidder and reserves the right to reject any or all bids.

Bidders must provide at least three references for comparable municipal or commercial snow removal services, disclose all equipment and backup resources, be qualified and insured, and obtain insurance certification before beginning work. Public opening and reading of bids will occur immediately following the 4:00 p.m. deadline on October 29, 2026.
