The scope spans plowing and related services at Yale Acres, Scattered Sites (26 Welles Terrace and multiple Wall Street addresses), Hanover Place, Community Towers, 143 West Main Street, 88-92 West Main Street, and MHA Office locations at 22 and 16 Church Street. Bidders may submit prices for plowing only, sidewalk only, or both services. Pricing must be structured by snowfall accumulation ranges (0"–4", 4.1"–8", 8.1"–12", and over 12") on a per-storm basis, with separate pricing for snow relocation (per hour) and de-icing material applications. Snow removal is triggered upon three inches of accumulation or immediately for storms under three inches; de-icing materials must be concrete-friendly for sidewalks.

Contractors must carry commercial general liability insurance with minimum combined single limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, umbrella/excess liability of $1,000,000, and auto liability of $1,000,000. The contract awards for an initial one-year term with an option for one additional one-year renewal at the MHA's discretion. The Housing Authority may award contracts to one or multiple vendors and reserves the right to accept or reject any or all proposals.
