Secondary Snow Plow Operators with Vehicles for Snow & Ice Control

The City of Toledo's Transportation/Road and Bridge Maintenance Department is seeking to contract additional snow plow operators with vehicles for snow and ice control services. This contract does not guarantee that the contractor will be requested to perform plowing services; rather, it establishes an available pool of operators to be called upon as needed. Interested vendors must submit bids by February 10, 2026, including all required city forms and documentation. These include acknowledgment and acceptance of contract conditions, municipal income tax compliance, utility compliance, minority business enterprise (MBE) good faith efforts, equal employment opportunity forms, primary and subcontractor information, and debarment certifications, alongside additional required submissions such as insurance certificates naming the City of Toledo as an additional insured and current worker’s compensation certificates. The bid does not require a bid bond and mandates submission of a signed contract by the vendor’s CEO or president, a child support affidavit, and adherence to best bid criteria. The solicitation emphasizes compliance with city policies and thorough submission of paperwork to demonstrate responsibility and capability. Questions regarding the bid must be submitted through the designated Q&A portal, and the contract represents a secondary or backup resource for snow and ice control rather than a guaranteed service contract. This approach enables the city to maintain readiness for snow events by having additional operators and equipment on standby for deployment as necessary.
