Specifications include, but are not limited to: • The City of Shoreline uses chloride-based anti-icing and de-icing chemicals on road, parking, and sidewalk surfaces. These products can impact developed infrastructure and the natural environment adjacent to these hard surfaces including, soil and vegetation, ground and surface water, and aquatic and terrestrial plants and animals. The City is seeking recommendations and strategies to reduce its impact to the developed and natural environment through elimination or reduction in chloride-based snow and ice control chemicals in general, and specifically near sensitive infrastructure and waterways. • The City is designing a new operations facility that will house, among other operations, equipment and materials for snow and ice control operations. The facility design is expected to be completed in 2020 and constructed in 2021. A snow and ice control equipment evaluation is required to develop recommendations and associated costs to be used by the design team to determine how much of the facility will be required for the operations and the equipment to be used for the operations; i.e. pumps, tanks, valves, electrical controls, and operator interface panel. • The City’s 2017 Snow Removal and Ice Control Plan discusses the impacts of snow and ice control chemical usage in broad terms. This evaluation will review and update the 2017 Plan. As part of the update, a Chemical Management Plan (CMP) will be developed. The CMP will embrace best management practices and operational procedures for the City to follow when conducting snow and ice control operations. The goal being to minimize chemical usage and adverse impacts to the developed and natural environments. The CMP will become an Appendix to the City’s Snow Removal and Ice Control Plan.
