Title
Snow Services - Bid Award
History
Traditionally, the Natural Resources and Facilities (NRF) and Parks Departments have been responsible for snow removal and salting in municipal parking lots and on sidewalks and paths throughout the Village. In order to provide a higher level of snow clearing services for Orland Park residents, these CDL crews need to be reallocated to help Public Works focus on clearing primary and secondary roadways, by forming two (2) fully staffed teams working together. Contractor support will be responsible for maintaining the parking lots, sidewalks, and bike paths at a zero snow fall tolerance, meaning the contractor will have staff available from the start of a snow event until the snow event has ended and all facilities are completely cleared and salted.
Contractor support for snow removal and salting operations will be performed at the locations listed on Exhibit A.
Contractors will also be used in cul-de-sacs when snow fall is greater than two (2) inches. This contractor support has been consistently used the past twelve to fifteen (12-15) years, which allows Public Works to focus on the primary and secondary routes in heavier snow events.
