Snow Plowing Services - Citywide - 2

Solicitation CWB02227A is an Invitation to Bid issued by the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, for citywide snow plowing and sanding services. The scope of work involves the removal of snow and ice from city streets, including main snow streets and narrow roads, as well as city-owned parking lots and schools. Services will be ordered on an as-needed basis via standing orders. The city anticipates a requirement for 7ft to 12ft plows, with a mandate that smaller pickups must be equipped with four-wheel drive. Priority for contact will be given to contractors who possess both plows and sanders. The award process is based on unit price bids, though the city may consider logistic factors, lead time, equipment availability, and response times rather than relying solely on the lowest bid. Bidders must provide detailed vehicle information, including make, model, and size for up to five vehicles, and submit required certifications regarding good standing, equal opportunity, and non-collusion. Contractors are responsible for their own fuel and equipment maintenance. The city will maintain performance records on response and quality, and unsatisfactory performance may result in removal from the active call list. Contractors must provide a satisfactory Certificate of Insurance covering auto and general liability, with workers' compensation strongly recommended. The agreement includes a requirement for the contractor to indemnify the city against claims resulting from negligent acts and allows the city to terminate the agreement for any reason with seven days' written notice. All submissions must be made through the OpenGov procurement portal by the deadline of November 17, 2026.
