Invitation to Bid: 2026–2027 Snow Removal and Salting/Sanding Contracts

The Ellsworth School Department is soliciting seasonal snow‑removal and salting/sanding services for its elementary/middle school, high school, and bus garage for the 2026‑27 winter season. The contractor must supply all equipment, perform work early each morning before the first bus departure, and provide separate pricing for each site and for removal versus de‑icing. Bids are evaluated separately per location, with payment in two installments (December and April). • Scope includes plowing, sidewalk clearing, and application of salt/sand at three school sites. • Contractors must submit sealed bids with $1 M liability insurance and detail equipment contingency plans. • Separate line‑item quotes are required for each location and for each service type (removal vs. salting/sanding). • Bids are due by 3 PM on October 5, 2026; no pre‑bid meeting or site visit is indicated.
