Troop M Trevose Snow Removal

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, specifically the Pennsylvania State Police Troop M in Bucks County, is soliciting bids for snow removal and deicing services at the Trevose location. The procurement covers snow removal, plowing, sidewalk clearing, and application of granular deicing material from January 1, 2024, through March 31, 2028, with four potential one-year renewal options. Vendors must complete a comprehensive cost matrix, provide appropriate equipment for efficient snow removal, and register arrival and departure times along with material usage quantities. A mandatory site visit is required, and bidders must submit a signed Proof of Visit Form completed by the Station Commander. Bidders must also complete and submit a BOP-2201 Worker Protection form, undergo criminal background checks, and maintain appropriate insurance coverage. All bids must be submitted electronically through the PA Supplier Portal by November 17, 2023, with questions regarding the bid due by the same date. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder based on the completed cost matrix and compliance with all specified requirements.

This procurement is specifically designated as a restricted small business opportunity, meaning only vendors certified as small businesses through the Department of General Services' self-certification process are eligible to submit bids. Contractors must certify compliance with various state labor and workforce safety laws, including the Construction Workplace Misclassification Act, Minimum Wage Act, and Prevailing Wage Act. The Commonwealth may impose penalties for false certifications, including contract termination and a three-year prohibition from bidding on state contracts. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the contract includes estimated quantities for various snow removal and deicing services across multiple potential contract years. Vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive snow removal services on an on-call basis, with pricing fixed for the initial contract term and potential renewal periods. The procurement emphasizes local workforce protection, small business participation, and competitive pricing for essential winter maintenance services.
