The purpose of this Snow Removal Equipment Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is to obtain equipment with operators to provide emergency snow and ice removal services as ordered by the Virginia Department of Transportation (“Department “or “VDOT”) during winter weather events. Winter weather events and the conditions they produce are unpredictable, and the services required during these events are time sensitive and ever-changing. For these reasons, VDOT will order services under this Agreement on an as-needed basis, as determined by VDOT in its sole discretion. To be clear, this Agreement is for an indefinite quantity of services; VDOT does not agree to any amount of snow removal services from the Contractor during the term of this Agreement.
