Parkway Leaf Collection Services

Contractor will collect loose leaves placed in the public parkway using vacuum collection equipment and rakers beginning in the middle of October and ending in early December (7 to 9 weeks). Approximately 12,000 cubic yards of leaf material will be collected during this time with as much as 5,000 cubic yards of that total collected in a two-week period at the height of the season. The Village’s Leaf Collection Program divides the community into five geographic areas (exhibit C). Collection begins in Area 1 and continues in order through Area 5. Once a full cycle is complete the process starts over in Area 1. As leaf volume increases, the number of vacuum trucks collecting leaves increases, up to a maximum of (4) vacuum trucks at the height of leaf season. Bidders should anticipate operating (4) vacuum trucks for four weeks of the seven-to-nine-week program. Selected Contractor must provide sufficient labor and equipment to maintain a continuous collection effort and provide no less than eight (8) passes through the entire Village.
