Collegewide Snow and Ice Removal

Delaware Technical and Community College is soliciting competitive sealed proposals under solicitation DTCC2712-SNOW for collegewide snow and ice removal services across eleven campus locations, including sites in Georgetown, Dover, Newark, Middletown, New Castle, and Wilmington. The scope of work involves plowing and salting lots, as well as shoveling and applying ice melt to walks. Services are priced per snow event, which is defined as snowfall up to 8 inches. The college may award contracts to multiple vendors based on operational capacity, geographic coverage, and the need for continuity of service. Proposals are due by 1:00 PM local time on November 18, 2026, and must include four paper copies and one electronic copy on a USB drive. The selected vendor must maintain firm pricing for an initial three-year term and submit electronic monthly usage reports by the 15th of each month. Award decisions will be based on the most responsible and responsive vendor, with evaluations considering financial resources, performance records, and legal qualifications. While bid and performance bonds have been waived, vendors must provide necessary business licenses and insurance certificates. Additionally, the contract requires compliance with diversity supplier reporting for MBE, WBE, VOBE, or SDVOBE participation and strict adherence to accessibility standards to ensure primary entrances and emergency routes remain clear during storm events. Payment will be processed monthly within 30 days, with a preference for Purchase Card or Single Use Account transactions.
