The intent and purpose of this Invitation for Bid is to establish a firm price to obtain equipment with operators to provide emergency on-call snow and ice removal services ordered by the City of Petersburg, herein referred to as “City” during winter weather events. Winter weather events and the conditions are unpredictable, and the services required during these events are time sensitive and ever-changing. For these reasons, the City will order services under this contract on an as-needed basis, as determined by the City at its sole discretion. To be clear, this contract is for an indefinite quantity of services; the City does not agree to request any amount of snow removal services from the Contractor during the term of this contract. The City intends to award up to two (2) contracts for this service.
