Q&A for Snow Removal Services, Newark, DE

Question #1: Should the slab areas be included in bid item snow removal or side walks?

Answer: They should be in bid item snow removal-

Question #2: Sidewalks are to be cleared at 4" intervals, in large snow storms that require multiple side walk clearances will the contractor be compensated for such?

Answer: Yes-They usually do not clear anything if it’s a storm it is all done when the storm stops.

Question #3: Since there is a separate item 0005 for sidewalks, do items 0001 -0004 only include paved areas?

Answer: Yes they should-I put separate line in for sidewalks.

Question #4: The diagram indicates areas described as “slab areas”. Should these areas be included in bid items 0001-0004 or with sidewalks 0006?

Answer: Same answer as # 1.

Question #5: Should Items 0001 through 0005 include a one-time application of salt/sand or will the contractor be compensated a combination of items 0001-0005 & 0006 to apply the sand/salt?

Answer: Items 0001 through 0005 are for snow removal only. If he uses sand/salt he will be paid for that also. We don’t always have snow here a lot we are just sanding/salting for ice.

Question #6: Paragraph 5.1.8 indicates sidewalks to be cleared in 4” intervals.

Will bid item 0005 be compensated on 4” intervals.

Example of a 12” snow, will the contractor be compensated 3 times the bid item 0006.

Answer: Same answer as # 5-he is paid for what he applies.

Question #6: Please can you tell me what the previous contract award was.
