Specifications include, but are not limited to: furnish all equipment, personnel, and other materials necessary to provide such snow removal and deicing services. Services include but are not limited to snow removal in parking lots, sidewalks, and walkways when snow levels reach 2” (two inches) in depth, according to reliable weather forecasts. After the lots, walkways, and sidewalks have been cleared of snow, all areas must then have snow/ice melting compound applied. The contractor(s) must start clearing properties within 2 hours once the snow levels reach 2” (two inches) in depth. Under icing conditions and failing temperatures, the contractor will apply ice melting compounds to all sidewalks, walkways, and parking lots. Such materials will be used sparingly and not as the sole means of snow removal. Labor and equipment costs to apply snow/ice melting compound and anti-skid materials are to be included in your minimum price for each property. It is important to note that the parking lots will not be empty, and the selected company will need to remove the snow and apply snow/ice melting compound around and in between these vehicles. The contractor will clear around fire hydrants and postal mailboxes located within our property rights-of-way. This also includes sidewalks and walkways at these locations.
