Westwood Snow Removal Services

The Westwood Community School District, in partnership with the Michigan Association of Counties (MAC) CoPro+ Program, has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Snow Removal Services. The RFP seeks qualified contractors to provide snow removal services for various Westwood Community School District properties, including parking lots, entrances, sidewalks, and other areas, within the jurisdictions of Wayne County and Dearborn City, Michigan. The resulting contract will be a Statewide Cooperative Contract, allowing other public municipalities, non-profit organizations, and schools to "piggyback" and purchase services on an "as needed" basis from the awarded contractor(s). Bidders must provide detailed pricing information, including per-push rates for snow removal based on accumulation levels, per-application rates for salting, and hourly rates for snow relocation. Evaluation criteria focus on the bidder's ability to meet the technical requirements, references, and adherence to the terms and conditions. The pre-proposal meeting is scheduled for October 24, 2023, and proposals are due by November 13, 2023. The resulting contract will have an initial term of three (3) years with two (2) one-year renewal options.

The RFP requires bidders to confirm their understanding of the 2% administrative fee that will be remitted to the CoPro+ program on a quarterly basis. The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The provided documents do not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor do they indicate any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not provide any information on the possible award values or budget ranges.
