Troop N - lehighton station - snow removal

The Pennsylvania State Police, specifically Troop N located in Lehighton, Carbon County, is soliciting bids for on-call snow removal and deicing services at their station. The procurement opportunity requires a qualified vendor to perform snow plowing (60 hours per visit), sidewalk snow removal (30 hours per visit), and apply granular deicing materials in designated areas as specified by the station commander. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-bid conference on September 4, 2025, at 10:00 AM at the Troop N - Lehighton Station located at 9170 Lehighton, PA, with failure to attend resulting in automatic disqualification. All bids must be submitted electronically through the PA supplier portal by September 10, 2025, and must include several required documents: a completed cost matrix, a signed site visit form, Worker Protection and Investment form (BOP-2201), current proof of insurance listing PSP as certificate holder, and current PA small business certification. Vendors must submit written questions about the bid no later than September 5, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. to RA-SPPSBIDS@PA.GOV, and are responsible for monitoring the DGS eMartketplace website for any change notices.

This procurement opportunity is specifically designated as a Small Business Procurement Initiative under Executive Order 2011-09, which means only certified small businesses can submit bids. Vendors must be registered in the PA supplier portal and obtain a vendor number to participate. The contract appears to have an initial term with four potential one-year renewal options, subject to mutual agreement and written notice. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the cost matrix provides a framework for vendors to submit unit pricing for snow removal, sidewalk clearing, and deicing material application. The contract will likely be awarded based on responsiveness to specifications, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to reject any or all bids. Prospective bidders must schedule a site visit with Sergeant Mike Keating and complete a mandatory site visit form, which serves as a critical pre-qualification step to ensure vendors understand the work conditions and specifications. Compliance with Pennsylvania labor laws and workplace safety regulations is mandatory, as outlined in the Worker Protection and Investment Certification Form.
