Wallowa-Whitman Snow Park Snow Removal IDIQ

DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The work consists of removing snow, in accordance with 2. Maintenance Requirements for Snow Removal, below, from the following three State Snow Parks: Salt Creek Summit, Catherine Creek Summit and Clear Creek. See descriptions and locations below for each project area.

This contract consists of one base year and two optional years for each location. The Forest Service anticipates making multiple awards to different Offeror's based on each of the Snow Parks.

This work is funded in cooperation with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) with the U. S. Forest Service. These snow parks are designated winter recreation parking locations by the State, who provides a limited amount of snow removal funding through the Winter Snow Parking Permit program through ODOT. If ODOT fails to receive funding, appropriations, limitations or other expenditure authority which prohibits ODOT from reimbursing the Forest Service, then this contract may be terminated after minimum guarantees have been met.

Work shall be completed during the Winter Snow Park seasons of approximately November 1st through April 30th each year. Contractor shall regularly check snow depths on the roads and parking areas, and shall plow entire area when average snow depth at the parking area reaches or exceeds a trigger depth of 6" or snow accumulation. The Contractor shall contact COR for authorization prior to conducting maintenance on access roads when 6" snow depth trigger is not reached in parking areas (occurs infrequently; typically due to drifting caused by heavy wind). Snow removal shall typically avoid high traffic periods between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
