About this file
This document is Addendum #1 containing Questions and Answers for IFB 6100066979, issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) for District 6-0 Snow Removal services. The contract covers snow and ice removal and deicing services for the PennDOT District 6-0 Office Building, including treatment of walkways, paved parking lots, roads, and a concrete parking garage. The addendum addresses three key clarifications regarding pay items and pricing structure for the snow removal operation.
The Questions and Answers clarify that equipment operators are included in the hourly rates for Items 1, 3, 4, and 5, with no separate billing under Item 2 (Laborer). Deicing chemical material costs, including calcium chloride and salt, are to be included within the hourly rates rather than billed as separate pay items. Additionally, a 6.5 horsepower or larger two-stage snowblower machine is required under Item 2 (Laborer), with the cost of the equipment incorporated into the laborer pricing. These clarifications ensure that all labor, equipment operation, materials, and equipment costs are consolidated within the hourly rate structure rather than itemized separately.
