RFQ 140P4321Q0026/Amendment 2
Questions and Answers
For Plowing
Q1) Since the parks are open from sunrise to sunset is it seems like overkill to plow snow when no one is on the property. It would be more cost effective to plow the snow by no later than 6am. Would that be acceptable?
Answer: Snow plowing needs to commence when there is 1" of snow or frozen precipitation.
This requirement ensures safety for park employees who are housed in park housing units, additionally this requirement ensures emergency vehicles can access housing units and park leased properties in the event of an emergency.
Q2) The contract does not specify if the snow must be removed from the site or just moved to the edges of the parking, pathways and driveways. Can you please clarify if the snow is to be removed from the property each time?
Answer: The snow does not need to be removed from the site however the park does require that snow is plowed and placed so as not interfere with access to park walkways, entrances, accessibility spaces, and exits of the parking area . Snow shall be placed as to allow the most efficient use of the parking area by visitors and staff.
