Snow Removal Services

The DuPage County Health Department is seeking a contractor for snow removal services through Invitation to Bid #25-93 for the 2025/2026 snowplowing season. The procurement covers comprehensive snow plowing, snow relocation, and salting services across multiple office locations and residential group homes in Illinois communities including Lombard, Addison, Westmont, Bloomingdale, Glen Ellyn, Naperville, West Chicago, Wheaton, Villa Park, and Addison. Service requirements mandate snow removal commencing with one inch of accumulation, with completion by 6:30 am at office locations and 7:00 am and 2:30 pm at residential group homes. Bidders must participate in active apprenticeship programs registered with the U.S. Department of Labor and provide three project references from the past five years. The bid is due electronically through DemandStar by October 2, 2025, at 10:00 am CST, with a virtual bid opening via Microsoft Teams on the same date and time. Evaluation criteria include compliance with technical specifications, pricing structure, and submission of required documentation such as the Certification Form, Listing of Subcontractors, and Vendor Ethics Disclosure Statement.

The contract is subject to the Illinois Prevailing Wage Act and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are comprehensive, including commercial general liability ($2 million), business auto liability ($1 million), and workers' compensation coverage. The initial contract term is one year, with potential extensions for up to three additional one-year terms. Pricing will be calculated based on estimated snow event frequencies: approximately 70% for 1-4 inches, 20% for 4-7 inches, and 10% for 7+ inches of accumulation. Vendors must submit detailed monthly invoices and provide per-push snow removal and ice melt application pricing for each specified location, with additional snow relocation services charged at an hourly rate. While a specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the bid remains valid for 60 days following the solicitation opening, and no additional fees will be paid beyond the proposed rates. Prospective bidders must submit a comprehensive pricing structure that includes all costs related to service fulfillment.
