This is a Scope of Work document for ski slope clearing services issued by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) for the E-124 project. The document outlines snow and ice removal requirements for ski slope access roads during winter months, with services including plowing, sanding, and maintenance to ensure safe passage. The project encompasses clearing operations on specified mountain corridors, with equipment and labor specifications detailed for both routine maintenance and emergency response situations. Bidders are required to submit responses according to the specified deadline, with site visits available for interested contractors to assess terrain, weather conditions, and operational challenges. The contract term extends through the winter season with potential renewal options for subsequent years based on performance and budgetary availability.

Pricing for this contract is structured on a unit-price basis with compensation allocated per mile cleared, per application of sand or de-icing materials, and hourly rates for emergency response operations. The contract includes a preference for incumbent contractors demonstrating successful prior performance, though new bidders meeting qualification requirements are encouraged to compete. Funding is provided through CDOT's winter maintenance budget, with allocations sourced from state transportation revenues. Key considerations include equipment specifications for winter conditions, driver qualifications and certifications, and mandatory insurance and bonding requirements. The scope emphasizes responsiveness to weather conditions and public safety as primary objectives, with performance metrics tied to road accessibility and surface conditions during peak winter operations.
