T0777 Attachment 4 - Snow Plow Guide.pdf

This is a Snow Plowing Guide issued by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) that establishes operational standards and best practices for snow plowing services on state roadways. The guide provides standardized procedures for various highway configurations and traffic patterns to ensure consistent, efficient snow removal operations across New Jersey's transportation network.

The guide details plowing standards for multiple highway types, including two-lane two-direction highways, three-lane two-direction highways, four-lane undivided highways, and multi-lane divided highways with both raised medians without drainage and depressed medians with drainage. For each configuration, the document specifies truck sequencing, spacing intervals, overlap requirements, and directional procedures. Key operational standards include: Truck #1 guides on the centerline with the plow extending into adjacent lanes; Truck #2 follows approximately 100-500 feet behind with 2-foot overlaps; Truck #3 maintains 100-foot spacing with additional overlap coverage; and additional trucks maintain 100-foot spacing intervals with 2-foot area overlaps as needed. The guide also addresses specialized scenarios such as jughandles and switch-back curve ramps, with specific instructions for equipment deployment and snow placement to maximize traffic safety and operational efficiency. No pricing information, contract amounts, or renewal terms are specified in this operational guidance document.
