Snowplowing Services RFP

Comstock Park Public Schools in Michigan is seeking snowplowing services through a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the 2019-2020 fiscal year, covering multiple district facilities including the Bus Garage, High School, Mill Creek Middle School, Central Office, Pine Island Elementary School, and Stoney Creek Elementary School. The procurement requires snow removal services when snowfall exceeds 1 inch of heavy snow or 2 inches of light snow, with specific completion deadlines ranging from 5:15 AM to 7:00 AM depending on the facility location. Vendors must submit pricing on both per-occurrence and seasonal cost bases for individual facilities and have the option to provide district-wide pricing. Mandatory qualifications include providing a list of current snow removal customers, detailed equipment inventory with make/model/year information, and three professional references. The proposal submission deadline is September 30, 2019, at 3:00 PM EST, with a contract term of one year and potential renewals contingent on pricing and service performance. Evaluation criteria will likely include pricing, equipment capabilities, customer references, and demonstrated snow removal expertise.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Insurance requirements are stringent, mandating $1,000,000 in general liability coverage, $1,000,000 in automobile liability, and $500,000 in workers' compensation insurance. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, vendors must be prepared to service multiple facilities with varied snow removal needs. The district will handle sidewalk and playground snow removal and parking lot salting internally, though vendors may be called upon for emergency services outside the RFP's primary scope. The procurement covers Kent County and specifically targets the Columbiaville Village area, with comprehensive site maps included to delineate exact snow removal zones. Potential contractors should be equipped with appropriate snow removal equipment and capable of servicing multiple locations efficiently and within specified time constraints.
