Specifications include, but are not limited to: annual road maintenance, road system improvements, and disaster response and recovery for the road system. Work shall be performed on an “as requested” basis, at the direction of the City Administrator or Road Maintenance Point of Contact (POC).; Importantly, this work will include a broader array of services within a single contract, compared to previous years. In addition to road grading and related road surface maintenance including ditch management, and culvert repair/installation/replacement, potential work will include snowplowing, roadside brushing, land clearing and civil work along roads or at City facilities. Additionally, the work may include road-related emergency repairs and restoration that may be needed to ameliorate damage from storms or other catastrophic events.; The roadway surface shall be cleared of snow from roadway shoulder to roadway shoulder each time it is plowed. Contractor shall plow snow evenly to both sides of the road such that berms along both sides are approximately equal throughout the winter—unless otherwise agreed by the Road Committee. The cleared width shall not be allowed to narrow as consecutive plowings occur. Snow berms shall be winged back at road intersection radii to a maximum height of 30 inches measured from the roadway centerline. If the contractor has to push snow berms back during winter to maintain roadway width, this work shall not be paid.; Gravel shall not be plowed off the road surface. It is acceptable to leave up to two inches of snow or hard pack on the road surface over the gravel. If the Contractor plows substantial amounts of gravel off the road, such that gravel, sand, and/or rocks from the road are deposited beyond the ditch or beyond the constructed back slope of the road embankment, the Contractor will be debarred from performing road maintenance for the City of Gustavus for three years.; The Contractor shall be responsible for all damages he causes to the roadway surface and damages to any facilities, public or private, located in or along the roadway.; Traffic surfaces of special areas such as City driveways and parking lots and the boat harbor uplands shall be cleared of snow and the snow shall be piled at locations designated by the Road POC.; All snow plowing shall commence within 12 hours from the time the Contractor is called out by the Road POC unless otherwise arranged with the POC. The Road POC shall designate to the Contractor the name(s) of person(s) with authority to call out the snow plowing.
