Town of Kennard - Request for Sealed Bids

The Town of Kennard is accepting sealed bids for snow removal services and to install new door closers on the USPS entrance and the main Town Hall door. Received bids will be opened at the September Town Council meeting on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, at 7:00 PM.

Snow Removal Services

Scope of Work

  • Remove snow from Town streets and alleys as needed during the winter season.
  • A snowfall of two inches (2") or more will automatically require snow removal service.
  • The Town may also request snow removal at other times by phone call or text from an authorized Town representative.
  • The contractor must provide snow removal as a priority service because public health and safety depend on safe streets.
  • Beginning with the 2026 season and forward, the service area includes Brandon Drive and Lake Drive at Kennard Lake Estates, in addition to Town streets and alleys.

Bid Details

  • Bids should include the proposed cost per snow removal occurrence.
  • Bidders may include separate pricing for salting or other treatment services, if offered.
  • The contractor must provide the truck, plow blade, equipment, materials, labor, and any other items needed to complete the work.

Insurance and Responsibility

  • The selected contractor must provide proof of liability insurance covering damage to public and private property during snow removal work.
  • The Town of Kennard must be named as an additional insured on the contractor's liability insurance policy.
  • The contractor must agree to indemnify and hold the Town harmless from any loss or claim resulting from the contractor's negligent conduct.
