Additional information in response to potential bidder’s questions.

Bayfield Office and Vallecito Work Center snow removal – FY 2024.

When should snow removal start after 1/2", 1", please advise?

Bayfield office – after 4 inches have accumulated, snow plowing will proceed automatically (without the COR having to call the contractor) in the early morning hours before 7 a.m. Preferably between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m., but anytime during the night is okay if there is not more accumulation before 7 a.m. the following day. Early morning hour plowing will go around all parked vehicles.

The Vallecito Work Center location will be call-as-needed. Our employees will be able to do some plowing themselves, but if the snow level is too much for their equipment or no one is available, the COR or POC will contact the contractor for snow removal.
