Specifications include, but are not limited to: · Snow Plowing includes driveways, parking lots, school drop-off/pick-up aprons, paved playground areas, any other areas of pavement and a few gravel areas on the school properties. Sidewalks and pedestrian walkways including public sidewalks will be executed by the District. · Snow Plowing is to occur automatically at 1 inch of snowfall without receiving a call from the district on school days. Contractor is responsible to contact a designee of the Buildings and Grounds Department for direction if the snowfall amount is border‑line to this automatic 1 inch guideline. At certain periods chosen by the District, snow plowing will sometimes be on an as-needed basis. In these instances, the contractor will receive a call from a designee of the Buildings and Grounds Department for a list of locations to plow or not plow before a predicted snowfall. Not all snowfalls and locations will need to be covered every single time. The use of the contractor will be evaluated on a snowfall-by-snowfall basis. ● The 1 inch automatic guideline is defined as the amount of snowfall required to trigger automatic snow removal services and NOT the interval which defines the per push rate. As an example, 3” of snowfall DOES NOT necessarily constitute 3 pushes. ● The contractor is expected to minimize the number of pushes used and to perform the snow removal as efficiently as possible. ● Weekends, holidays, or school breaks typically still require servicing; however, approvals and changes shall be modified by direction from a district supervisor ● Any discrepancies on the number of pushes will be addressed as needed to the favor of the district ● The cost for snow removal PER PUSH is defined as completely plowing the entire property of all snow. Daytime snow removal requirements (typically only drive aisles, aprons, and elementary playgrounds) will be invoiced at ⅓ of a complete push. ● It is the responsibility of the contractor to contact a designee of the Buildings and Grounds Department after each snow removal occurrence with the total number of pushes. This is critical in order to reconcile services provided.
