Services acquired under this solicitation will include sidewalk and parking lot snow removal, and may include any/all facilities owned by Sedgwick County (all facilities are located within Sedgwick County). The following are minimum requirements for work under this contract. All costs associated with such requirements shall be included in rates quoted. 1. Vendor shall clear identified project area of all current accumulation of snow/ice. Areas may include but are not limited to entrances, ADA ramps, crosswalks, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots. 2. De-icing materials shall be applied to all pedestrian access/egress points, walking, crosswalks, steps, sidewalks and ADA ramps during or immediately after snow removal. De-icing products must be environmentally friendly and approved for safe use on concrete and asphalt surfaces. De-icing product shall not be sand, unless specifically requested by county staff. De-icing materials are not required for parking areas. 3. Vendor shall place cleared snow/ice in a safe location, onsite, not blocking foot traffic, handicap or other parking located directly in front of facility, or any location where damage to structure may occur. 4. Vendor shall provide appropriate staffing and equipment to meet or exceed industry standards based on project size and depth of snow/ice. Vendor shall not use equipment that will cause damage to surface. 5. Vendor shall notify requesting department immediately upon completion and remain on site until project completion satisfaction is met, or authority is provided by county staff to leave premises after hours. 6. Vendor shall be responsible for using equipment and labor necessary for removal according to industry standards and best practices. Snowfall accumulation in addition to safety of employees and constituents depending on the office will determine whether or not services are requested. Historically, sidewalks and other pedestrian areas are cleared as soon as snow/ice accumulates. The clearing of parking lots by large equipment is generally not required until snow accumulations exceed 6”; however, experience and industry standards, should guide the use of equipment/materials.
