RFQ-2020-29 - Snow Clearing of District-Owned Parking Lots

The District requires a Contractor to promptly clear snow from municipal parking lots. Snow clearing is on an as-needed basis depending on weather conditions. The Contractor shall supply necessary equipment and operators to remove and stockpile snow in the designated snow storage areas at each of the locations identified below (“Snow Clearing Locations”). Snow clearing is required to take place seven days a week and must be completed prior to 7:00am, with the exception the Electrical Utility Division Pole yard which must be completed by 7:30am and the Summerland Landfill site which must be completed before 8:00am. Snow removal locations near the downtown core identified as areas 1-14 must be completed by equipment with bucket attachment or plough trucks assisted by equipment with bucket attachment to ensure proper stockpiling. During periods of heavy snowfall the Contractor may be required to provide additional snow clearing services later in the day. Only when District forces are unable to do so, and upon request by the District, the Contractor may be required to load stockpiled snow and haul and dispose of the snow at the designated snow dump area located at 8240 Peach Orchard Road, approximately 240 metres east of the underpass.
