FY 26-27 New Haven Public Schools Snow Removal/Control and Ice Treatment/Control - Zone 1

New Haven Public Schools (NHPS) is soliciting on-call vendors for snow removal and ice treatment services for the 2026-2027 season, specifically for Zone 1. The contract period runs from October 15, 2026, to April 30, 2027, covering various schools, offices, and storage facilities. Selected vendors must provide specific equipment for Zone 1, including four trucks with plows, three dump trucks with salt spreaders, three snow blowers, and two Bobcats with brushes. Performance is measured by a 6:00 a.m. completion deadline, the use of environmentally friendly ice melt, and the submission of before-and-after photos for each site. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by September 29, 2026, and must be divided into a Technical Proposal and a separate Price Proposal. The pricing follows a tiered structure based on National Weather Service snowfall readings. Evaluation is based on a weighted scoring system, and contracts exceeding $25,000 are subject to a formal Vendor Performance Report. Key compliance requirements include a 25% minority and women-owned business participation goal, a detailed equipment list in Appendix A, a safety plan with hospital mapping, and the payment of required EEOC fees. Bid security of 5% is mandatory for bids exceeding $100,000.
