● Plowing snow from the District’s parking lots, driveway, and entrances by 6:00 a.m. whenever snow reaches the depth of two (2) inches as measured on the District premises or when drifting occurs. Questionable conditions need to be pre-approved by the Grounds Supervisor or designated District representative. ● Unless otherwise arranged, the Contractor will remove snow on building approaches anywhere that a plow can adequately travel. This includes removing snow on sidewalks. Contractors should generally clear the building approaches with no assumption that any District personnel will shovel the last few feet up to the doors. ● Salting will be performed by West Ottawa. We still would like unit pricing per the bid doc, if assistance with salting is needed. ● If snow must be removed from the District premises by a loader, the contractor will arrange for such service to be performed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to notify the Grounds Supervisor or designated representative at 616-786-2031 if snow removal is needed. ● If there is an additional charge for excessive snow amounts, the bidder must include the additional charge in the bid. ● The bidder will repair any damages caused by plowing. This includes lawn and landscaping. ● Plowing for daytime, evening, and weekend activities will be at the request of the District. ● Bid price shall be for the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 seasons. The District reserves the right to terminate the contract at any time due to the contractor’s failure to comply with the terms of the contract. The District will notify the contractor of termination ten (10) days prior to any action being instituted. The contractor will be permitted a rebuttal during this period.
