Snow Removal Services for BCHA

Boulder County Housing Authority is seeking a contractor to provide snow and ice removal services across all BCHA-owned and operated properties in Boulder County, Colorado, with proposals due September 16, 2026. Multiple contractors may be awarded under this procurement.

The scope covers comprehensive snow and ice removal at 39 BCHA properties located in Lafayette, Longmont, Lyons, Boulder, Niwot, Nederland, and Louisville throughout the 2026-2027 winter season. Services include snow shoveling, plowing, ice treatment, snow storage, and related operations on sidewalks, steps, stairs, entrance ramps, ADA-accessible areas, parking spaces, and main drive areas, with priority given to ADA-accessible routes. The contractor must respond to events during evenings, weekends, and holidays as needed to maintain safe and accessible conditions. Snow removal operations commence once one inch of accumulation is reached on designated areas; parking lot and drive plowing begins at two inches and must be completed within 24 hours with continued service every 6–12 hours during active storms. Pricing is structured as single events (1–11 inches), double events (12–20 inches), and triple events (exceeding 20 inches of accumulation).

The contractor must provide all management, supervision, labor, equipment, supplies, and materials, including plow trucks, skid steer tractors, snow blowers, and shovels. Ice-melt products must be environmentally friendly and CDOT and EPA compliant. Prior to commencing work, the contractor must attend a BCHA orientation meeting and obtain approval of all proposed equipment and products. The contractor shall maintain detailed records including snow depth measurements with photographs, time on site, completed work, and materials used, available for BCHA review upon request. Monthly invoices itemized by property location are due by the last working day of the month following service completion. BCHA retains sole discretion to determine work completion satisfaction and will not charge additional fees for re-work resulting from incomplete services or quality issues. Payment is processed within 30 days of receipt of acceptable invoices.
