Doylestown Township is soliciting bids for supplemental snow plowing services for the 2026-2027 season under solicitation number 2026-27SR. The contract requires the provision of qualified operators and equipment, including various classes of six-wheel dump trucks and 4x4 pickup trucks, to plow township roads, parking facilities, and rights-of-way on an on-call basis.

Administrative requirements include submitting monthly progress payment requests on the first Friday of each month, subject to approval by the Road Superintendent. Awardees must also comply with non-discrimination and equal opportunity standards, provide a non-collusion affidavit, and adhere to a drug and alcohol testing program.
