Emergency Sidewalk Snow and Ice Removal

The State of Delaware Department of Transportation is seeking vendors to provide emergency sidewalk snow and ice removal services statewide. The contract will be awarded on a time‑and‑material basis with defined hourly labor rates, daily equipment rental rates, a mandatory truck‑mounted attenuator, de‑icing material application, and a mobilization bonus for rapid response. Multiple vendors may be awarded, and no subcontractors are permitted. The work is triggered when snowfall reaches three inches on sidewalks, and vendors must submit daily work logs and maintain required insurance throughout the five‑year contract term. • Provide rental snow‑removal equipment (e.g., skid‑steer, pickup with plow, dump trucks) **with operators**. • Apply Department‑approved de‑icing material and ensure “bare pavement” sidewalk clearance. • Manage a $1,000 daily TMA, maintain daily logs, and bear liability for any property damage. • Compensation includes $90/hr labor, equipment daily rates, material bag rates, a mobilization bonus (up to $3,000 per event), and a 5 % overhead markup.
