Daily street sweeping will occur between April 1 and December 31, within the operating hours of 8:00 AM–12:00 PM Monday through Friday, excluding City of Somerville Holidays. Please see Attachment B for a list of City of Somerville Holidays. The City currently requires three (3) mechanical street sweepers with operators and one (1) dump truck with operator per four (4) hour work day. Additional seasonal debris in Spring and Fall should be anticipated. – The Contractor may recommend, or the DPW Commissioner or Designee may request, the use of a second dump truck to accommodate high volumes of seasonal debris. The Contractor will not dispatch a second dump truck without prior written authorization from the DPW Commissioner or Designee. It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to ensure street sweeping services are still completed within the operational hours of 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on the days when any needed equipment is out of service. A sweeping foreman must be on the street during daily street sweeping operations. Operators must have hand broom/shovel on hand to clear debris that the sweeper cannot remove, such as around catch basins, bump outs, parked cars, etc. Contractor must have sufficient SpeediDry or equivalent on site at all times to address any leaks or spills.
