When there is an accumulation of two (2) inches or more of precipitation, or the contractor’s services are requested, the Contractor agrees to clear and sand designated areas without interruption. The parking lot will be reasonably cleared no later than 6:00 am. The employees of the facility are responsible for the shoveling of all entrances to the facility – Not the contractor. Priority of areas needing to be cleared shall be as follows: Main Entrance/Parking Area (45,517 sq.ft.) (See facility drawing, Snow Removal Plan). Gated Compound shall be on a Will Call Basis (The Building Manager (or POC) of the facility will notify the contractor), based on a 4" accumulation (33,247 sq.ft.). Plowing of the will call area will need to start no earlier than 6:30am and be completed by no later than 4:00pm Monday through Friday, excluding federal or state holidays. The compound is locked, and access is only available when the Guardsmen are there working. All gates to compound will be kept free of snow build up to allow ease of access. The contractor may have to return to plow and sand multiple times, depending on the severity and duration of the storm. Treatment of roadways and parking areas will be done at the time of plowing, as needed. The Contractor will use a sand salt mixture that meets Maine Department of Transportation’s specs.
