Southington Police Snow Removal

The Town of Southington Police Department is requesting proposals for snow plowing and ice control services at its 24-hour emergency operations facility at 69 Lazy Lane, Southington, Connecticut, with proposals due September 30, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. and bid opening September 24, 2026 at 12:00 p.m.

The scope covers parking lot and drive-lane plowing, sidewalk and pedestrian-area clearing, and ice control applications at a facility requiring one-hour response time to weather events. Snow plowing commences at approximately one inch of accumulation; salt application occurs during icing conditions with or without snow. The contract term runs October 1, 2026 through April 1, 2027, with an option for renewal for additional winter seasons by mutual written agreement at agreed-upon rates, contingent on satisfactory performance and Town approval.

Pricing is structured on a per-event basis with tiered rates based on total snowfall accumulation: 0.1" to 2.0", 2.1" to 6.0", 6.1" to 12.0", and over 12.0" with per-inch charges. Bidders may alternatively submit optional seasonal pricing covering all snow and ice control services for the contract duration. Additional pricing is available for ice-only salt applications and dedicated or continuous storm coverage.

Bidders must submit an equipment and capacity form identifying all plow vehicles, salt-spreading equipment, sidewalk clearing equipment, backup resources, operator availability, and salt supply plans, plus references for similar work and proof of insurance. Required insurance includes Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability with limits not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, and Automobile Liability with limits not less than $2,000,000 combined single limit. A non-collusion affidavit is required. Site inspections are strongly encouraged. The Town reserves the right to reject any or all bids and is not obligated to award to the lowest bidder if the respondent is not determined to be responsible, qualified, or capable of meeting operational requirements.
