BACKGROUND:
The Department of Public Works utilizes local contractors to remove snow from the over 600 cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets throughout the City after excessive snowfalls. The Department of Public Works solicits annual snow removal rates from local contractors prior to the winter season. When the snow accumulation is expected to exceed four inches for an upcoming storm, the selected contractors are alerted to have equipment on a standby basis for snow removal.
On November 29th through November 30th, approximately 8.5 inches of snow fell, followed by a drop in temperature. It was determined that it would be necessary to call out contractors to assist with snow removal in the City’s cul-de-sacs.
The Department of Public Works, in conjunction with the Roadways Division, requested four (4) local contractors to remove snow from various cul-de-sacs throughout the City for this storm.
The Public Service Committee will review this matter.
CONCLUSION:
The Department of Public Works requested the services of four (4) contractors to remove snow from the over 600 cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets throughout the City for the November 29th - November 30th, 2025 snowstorm. The following is the breakdown of costs associated with this removal:
