There is not a guaranteed minimum number of calls under this contract. Response time will be within one hour of notification or as agreed to on a case-by-case basis.

Bidders may propose alternative response times in their quotation. The most desirable time to plow is between midnight and 6 a.m.

and before the snow depth exceeds 6 inches. This is due to the possibility of vehicles being parked in the lots after 6 a.m.

Equipment Requirements: Equipment must be capable of removing eight inches of snow or more. The Contractor may be able to store their equipment at one of the recreation sites along the Crest Highway.
