6. For snow removal page 8 (iv) says that an individual occurrence of snow removal begins when the contractor is notified by the COR to start snow removal operations. Can the cemetery give a maximum depth they will require for this service to begin? For example, will the cemetery alert the contractor when the depth reaches 3 inches, or will they wait until the depth reaches a much higher amount? Prices can vary depending on how much snow has fallen before we are notified to begin.

Answer: On business days, we would like the contractor to begin snow removal at 2 inches and/or when snow accumulation ceases (whichever is least).

Answer: On weekends and federal holidays, we would like the contractor to begin snow removal when snow accumulation ceases.

Answer: COR is authorized to make exceptions to either (in case there is a scheduled event, or a major snow event precludes waiting until snow ceases).
