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

New Haven Public Schools is seeking on-call vendors for snow plowing 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. For Zone 1, contractors must provide a specific equipment fleet consisting of four trucks with plows, three dump trucks with salt spreaders, three snow blowers, and two Bobcats with brushes. All services must be completed by 6:00 a.m., and vendors are required to submit before and after photos of each site to validate completion. The city utilizes a tiered pricing structure based on snowfall accumulation as measured by the National Weather Service. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov portal by September 29, 2026, and must be divided into a separate Technical Proposal and Price Proposal to avoid disqualification. Evaluation is based on a weighted scoring system that considers safety plans, equipment compliance, and emergency response capabilities. Awardees must adhere to a 25 percent minority and women-owned small business participation goal and pay required EEOC fees. Performance for contracts over 25,000 dollars is monitored via a formal Vendor Performance Report, where low scores can trigger mandatory corrective action plans or impact future eligibility. Payment is managed through an electronic invoicing system under a strict no purchase order, no payment policy.
