The City of Columbus, Department of Public Service, seeks to engage independent contractors on an on-call, as-needed basis for snow and ice control services to supplement City crews during inclement weather from December 1, 2025, through April 30, 2026. While it is anticipated that only residential streets will be plowed by contractors, other street types may also be plowed by contractors if the City has a need for assistance and the contractor is willing to do so. Residential streets generally have speed limits of 25 miles-per-hour, carry little to no through movement, have lower traffic volumes, and have a primary purpose of providing access to abutting property. Companies/individuals contracted to provide this service must provide their own equipment. Training and instruction will be provided by the Department of Public Service. Contractors will be called as-needed with a guaranteed minimum payment as part of the contract.
