Snow and Ice Removal for Chesterfield County and Chesterfield County Schools

Chesterfield County is soliciting bids for a requirements contract to provide as-needed snow and ice removal services for the county and Chesterfield County Public Schools. The scope is divided into two lots: Lot 1 covers nine community homes and two intermediate care homes, while Lot 2 provides supplemental services for county facilities, including schools, libraries, and the county airport. The contract term runs from the date of award through October 31, 2027. Award decisions will be based on the lowest responsive and responsible bidder per lot or grand total, with the county reserving the right to award to multiple vendors. Bidders must confirm specific response times, such as returning calls within one hour for intermediate care homes and arriving on-site within eight hours for group homes, to avoid being deemed non-responsive. The contractor is responsible for providing all labor, equipment, and materials, including salt, sand, and non-corrosive ice melt. Safety requirements mandate that all trucks be equipped with flashing amber or emergency strobe lights. Payment is primarily handled through the ePayables program, with standard terms of thirty days after receipt of an accurate invoice. The contract includes a non-appropriation clause, meaning it will automatically terminate if funds are not allocated. Additionally, the county may apply preferences for Virginia residents or local Chesterfield County businesses in the event of a tie bid. Bidders must submit their proposals by November 23, 2026, via the electronic procurement system or as a sealed hard copy.
