ii. Snow shall be pushed beyond the edge of pavement

iii. Upon completion of plowing all pavement shall be neatly scraped clean, leaving no measurable snow.

iv. Snow shall not be pushed against garage doors, entrance doors, fenced gates, dumpsters, or culverts.

i. Snow shoveling is required with each plowing service.

ii. The Contractor shall shovel snow at all building entry and garage doors, walkways, stairs, oil and propane fill pipes, culverts, and dumpsters as shown in Figures 1 - 6.

iii. Areas to be shoveled shall be clear to the existing pavement or concrete. If the areas are icy upon completion of shoveling, walkway salt/sand mix shall be spread to melt existing ice and prevent additional icing or hazardous conditions.

iv. Snow may not be placed against any building or be piled in front of garage bays, doorways, gates, or other access points.

c. Task 3: Sanding and Salting. The contractor shall sand plowed surfaces and shoveled areas as needed or as directed by the Technical Point of Contact.
