2026-15 VACUUM TRUCK SWEEPING

The Road Commission of Kalamazoo County (RCKC) is soliciting proposals for curb and bridge deck vacuum truck sweeping services for the 2027 season. The scope of work includes scheduled sweeping of approximately 380 curb miles and 50 bridge decks, as well as unscheduled call-out services for accidents, material spills, and construction clean-up. The first complete sweeping cycle must be finished within 45 days of the start date. All equipment must be dual-controlled with right and left gutter brooms, flashing traffic control arrows, and rotating amber lights. Collected debris must be disposed of at an EGLE-approved Class II landfill in compliance with state and federal regulations. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Bid Express by November 20, 2026. Bidders are required to provide an equipment list, a history of similar work for other public agencies, and a disclosure of any sub-vendors. Pricing must be structured per curb mile, per bridge structure, and on an hourly basis for unscheduled work. The contract will be awarded to the responsible vendor whose proposal is most advantageous to the RCKC, with potential interviews to verify qualifications. Invoices must be submitted electronically every two weeks and include specific purchase order details, with payments processed within 30 days of authorization.
