The successful bidder shall supply all materials and perform all labor necessary to complete the project based on the specifications listed below. All pricing shall be listed and submitted on the Bid Submission Form. Only one contractor will be selected to provide services for both campuses. • Snow Event: For the purpose of this RFP, a Snow Event is an accumulation of snow that requires the entire property to be plowed, shoveled and salted so all areas are cleaned of snow and ice. • Ice Event: For the purpose of this RFP, an Ice Event is an accumulation of precipitation that cannot be removed by plowing, blowing, or shoveling, without first applying salt or an ice melt. An Ice Event is typically handled by applying salt and/or ice melt only. If the use of plow equipment needs to be incorporated to remove the accumulations after salting, the hourly rate for the plow trucks will be added to the base price of the salting price for invoicing purposes.
