1. The streets are to be swept quarterly, except when there are climatic conditions present or forecast that would make such an operation ineffectual or dangerous. The climatic conditions include, but are not limited to heavy rain, fog, snow, ice, sleet, and high winds. The Contractor will clean an area at least seven-feet (7’) wide (actual width of sweeper vehicle when both side brooms are extended) from the curb, barrier, or paved shoulder edge. The total number of miles to be swept quarterly is 291.258 miles, at date of RFP. Miles may change when new roads are added (see General Specifications #8.) Duplex Rd, Beechcroft Rd and private roads are not to be swept. These streets are to be swept using truck mounted sweeping equipment with a factory installed dust suppression system, Tymco 600 or equal. 2. The Contractor shall provide the City with a Street Cleaning Schedule (route list) for all scheduled cleaning. The street cleaning schedule shall be submitted to the Public Works Assistant Director (Chris Dugan) for prior approval. This schedule shall include: a. A list of the Contractor’s proposed cleaning routes for a completed quarterly cycle of cleaning with identification of all streets to be cleaned on each route in sequence and divided by day of week. b. The mileage for each street on each route must be identified on the contractor’s daily route sheets that are emailed to the City daily after each shift is complete. 3. All cleaning operations shall be performed between the daytime hours of 0730 and 1800 hours (7:30 a.m. and 6:00 p.m.) Monday through Friday Main thoroughfares are to be avoided during periods of rush hour traffic conditions. 4. Each day, the Contractor shall email completed route sheets or daily reports to the Public Works Assistant Director Chris Dugan. These route sheets should include the date, name of street swept, and number of right-hand or left-hand curb miles swept for each street. Routes will be inspected by City personnel. 5. From time to time, the City may call upon the Contractor to respond to “on-call emergency sweeping.” The Contractor must respond to emergencies within three (3) hours from the time of notification. On-call emergency sweeping may be requested by the City for streets other than those scheduled and for areas other than streets. On-call emergency sweeping will be performed at the hourly rate quoted on the Proposal Form not including waste disposal. If a minimum number of hours apply to on-call non-emergency sweeping, the Contractor shall indicate the number of minimum billable hours on the Proposal Form. Waste disposal for on-call services will not be the responsibility of the Contractor.
