About this opportunity
The City of Rochester, located in Monroe County, New York, is seeking a competent contractor for snowplowing and de-icing services for city parking garages during the 2025-2026 winter season. The procurement involves snow removal and de-icing for three specific parking garages, including their rooftops and surfaces at 240 State Street, 28 N. Fitzhugh Street, and 83 Mortimer Street. Contractors must use only City-issued Mr. Magic Ice Melt for de-icing and provide well-maintained snow plowing equipment, specifically a 4X4 vehicle with a plow and de-ice spreader, which will be subject to a City-administered inspection. The pre-bid meeting is scheduled for Monday, July 28, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. via Zoom, with bid submissions due on Thursday, July 31, 2025, at 11:00 A.M. Key requirements include using City-specified de-icing products, maintaining appropriate equipment, and being prepared to perform snow removal primarily during weekday evening hours between 5:00 P.M. and 6:00 A.M.
The contract offers a non-exclusive arrangement, meaning the City is not obligated to use the contractor for all snow removal needs and retains the right to use its own equipment or alternative contractors. The bid includes a $2,000 bid security and performance security requirement, with unit prices to be provided per trip for each garage location. The City will provide a 5% price advantage to New York State certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MWBE), encouraging participation from diverse business entities. Contractors must provide comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, comprehensive general liability, and commercial automobile liability. The initial contract term is one year, with options to extend for up to three additional one-year periods. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the contract represents an opportunity for snow removal services with potential for multiple-year engagement, contingent on performance and city needs during winter seasons.
Opportunity text
It is the intention of the City of Rochester to enter into a contract with a competent and responsive contractor(s) for plowing snow from the City of Rochester Parking Garages, including the garage rooftops, and, if requested, City owned adjacent garage. This will include de-icing the garages and garage roofs and surface. City garages are listed in Appendix A. No salt can be used in City garages. The successful contractor will only apply City-issued Mr. Magic Ice Melt to de-ice the garages in accordance with City directions. In the event Mr. Magic becomes unavailable, the City will provide its own acceptable alternative product. The contractor must supply well-maintained snow plowing equipment (e.g. 4X4 with a plow, de-ice spreader) to adequately plow and de-ice the garages. All equipment intended for use under this contract will be subject to passing a City-administered inspection. By submitting a bid, the bidder accepts the responsibility for proving the ability to meet the contract requirements as specified. The need for this contract work cannot be predicted by the City, since it is totally dependent on the amount and frequency of snow storms during the winter. Over the last several winters, the City completed snowplowing and deice for City garages anticipates these will be needed during the term of this contract. This is a non-exclusive contract. The City reserves the right to remove snow, snowplow and deice for one or more City garage City-owned equipment. Award of this contract does not obligate the City to call the contractor for snow removal for any or all City garages. The contractor agrees to remove snow, snowplow, and deice for any of the garages and as requested by the City at the price offered for each garage. The decision as to when to snowplow and deice shall rest entirely with the City.
