Specifications include, but are not limited to: Upon notification by the Business Administrator of the Township of Old Bridge that their bid for emergency Snow Removal has been accepted, the vendor shall supply the department of Recreation with a list of phone numbers where the owner or his agent can be located at any time. Within one week after such notification the Recreation Supervisor will schedule a meeting with the contractor to provide street maps indicating Township walkways within Township. In a storm warning situation, the owner will make good effort to keep in touch with the Supervisor of the Recreation Department. Upon notification by the supervisor of the Department of Recreation the contractor shall proceed as directed to the point within the Township or Township owned property prepared to perform the work assigned. Contractor must clock in before beginning snow removal, clock out for breaks and at the end of the service. There is no exception to this requirement. Payments will be withheld if the contractor fails to clock in/out. Operating Times and Rates: Time worked shall be calculated from time the vehicle arrives at the point assigned, traveling time from employee’s home or contractor’s business not inclusive. The Contractor shall also be responsible for the enforcement of “Maggie’s Law” (A-1347, 2002) on their crews and not permit any driver to exceed 12 continuous hours without being given an opportunity for sleep (4 hour minimum). “Maggie’s Law” amends the State’s vehicular homicide statute at NJSA 2C:11-5, to now provide that proof that a driver fell asleep while driving or that the driver was driving after having been without sleep for a period in excess of 24 consecutive hours shall give rise to an inference that the driver was driving recklessly. In the event of an emergency, as declared by the Supervisor of the Recreation Department, the Contractor must establish a staggered work schedule which shall include mandated breaks for crew members.
