Ifb - Muni Lots Snow Removal

The City of Boston has issued an Invitation for Bids to secure snow removal services for municipal parking lots and surrounding sidewalks, with the solicitation identified as EV00016494. The contract, valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000, requires contractors to provide comprehensive snow plowing, salting, and sidewalk cleaning at designated parking facilities throughout the city. Bidders must submit sealed proposals electronically via the City’s Supplier Portal by September 25, 2025, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for September 10, 2025, at 400 Frontage Rd, Boston. The bid opening will occur virtually at 1:00 PM on the same day as the submission deadline. The scope emphasizes providing all labor, tools, and supplies necessary to perform snow removal as directed by city officials, but no specific technical standards, inspection procedures, or detailed performance criteria are included in the available documents. The procurement process appears to follow a standard sealed bid approach, likely awarding to the lowest responsible bidder, although explicit evaluation criteria or award methodology are not detailed. Administrative contacts include Dean Thomas for procurement questions and Maria McDonald for technical support, with all communication and bid submissions managed through the City’s online portal. The contract does not specify particular clauses, regulations, or references to FAR provisions, nor does it include attachments, detailed specifications, or packaging and marking requirements. The documents also lack explicit references to representations, certifications, or security requirements, focusing instead on the scope, timeline, and procedural instructions necessary for interested contractors to participate effectively.
