Damage to surfaced portions of roads caused by defective equipment or neglect of the Contractor and damage to culverts, bridges, posts, fences, signs, guardrails, utilities, private property or like objects because of snow removal maintenance by the Contractor shall be the liability of the Contractor.

Any ice/snow in excess of maximum allowed within the traveled portion of the road width is the responsibility of the snow removal contractor (bare shoulder to bare shoulder) and should be removed by the contractor under the contract agreement. This will include snow melt, snow fall, slush, ice, and snow slides. The Contractor shall maintain the following general work standards in performance of the snow removal maintenance:

· Beginning each November 15th through each April 15th, snow shall be removed from the roads Monday-Sunday between 4:00am and 9:00pm upon an accumulation of 3” for as many times as necessary during the day, to permit safe, public vehicular travel and school bus travel; and, when instructed to do so by the COR, when a hazardous condition exists.

· Streets to be serviced by the contractor:

· N Main St, E Third St, Little School Rd & Budge Ln (connected loop), Mill St, Easy St, Shortcut St

· Initial performance must be completed by 7:00am Monday through Friday to ensure safe travel to and from Kelly Elementary School.

· Snow shall be removed from the full width of the traveled portion and/or surface portion of the roads and shall be fully removed from all cul-de-sacs or turn arounds so as to permit use of the full areas of the same for turning around by all vehicles.

· A snow floor up to a maximum depth of three (3) inches will be allowed on all roads, except that during winter thaws, mild weather conditions or extremely rough surface, said snow floor shall be bladed down with a grader to within one inch of road surfaces for the full width of the road. Ice, snow, or slush cut from roadway shall be removed from travel lanes by either blade or rotary.

· To the extent deemed necessary by Contractor and the COR. Contractor shall supply snow stakes, which the Contractor shall set out before the ground freezes.

The expense of this work will be deducted from the Contractor’s next month payment.

· Safety is of the foremost importance. To avoid a head-on collision and minimize damage in other accidents, plowing is to be done in the normal direction of travel, except when extreme conditions indicate otherwise and then only with use of adequate traffic control measures which will allow plowing against traffic and ensure the safety of the travelling public.
