The City of Bridgeport is soliciting bids from qualified contractors to provide snow plowing, sanding, and hauling services on city streets, municipal parking lots, and possibly school properties during the 2026‑2027 winter season. The contract will be awarded on a unit‑price basis, creating a pre‑approved on‑call list of local vendors. Bidders must submit hourly rates for various vehicle classes (tri‑axle, 6‑wheel, loader, dump, etc.) and for overtime, evenings, weekends, and holidays. All vendors must be licensed in Connecticut, carry the required insurance, possess valid SAM/DUNS/Tax IDs, and provide certificates of insurance and a non‑collusion affidavit. The award will be based on best‑value considerations, not solely on lowest price, and the City may issue purchase orders on an as‑needed basis throughout the winter.
