1. Without advance approval from Virginia ABC, the Contractor shall immediately proceed with snow removal upon snowfall ceasing and at least three (3) inches of snow accumulation, or if a Virginia ABC Store Manager or designee requests snow removal before three (3) inches of snow has accumulated. Timing of the clearing shall be coordinated for employees to arrive at the location by 8:00 AM (EST) and leave as needed. 2. Contractor must be available and respond immediately upon notification from the Virginia ABC designee and Contractor must respond to requests to perform snow/ice removal within two (2) hours of contact. a. Parking lot grates and gutter drains shall not be blocked by piles of snow to allow for water to drain from the site when the snow or ice is melting. 3. The Virginia ABC designee may, at any time, notify the Contractor that snow and/or ice removal services are or are not required. The Virginia ABC designee will attempt to provide a minimum of two (2) hours’ notice when services are required. No additional fees shall be charged. 4. Reasonable attempts should be made to provide complete service in as few pushes as necessary (i.e. wait until snow ceases falling to provide services, unless the Virginia ABC location will be opening before the snow ceases and/or the Store Manager has requested services). 5. Hourly rate will commence at the time the operator begins snow and/or ice removal (i.e., truck plowing) on Virginia ABC premises. All accumulated hourly rates will be based on actual time worked, including night and weekend hours, and billed in 15-minute increments. Snow and ice removal services are required solely on an asneeded basis. No payment will be made if services are not required.
