Redevelopment Snow Removal Proposal <br />John Martinez <br />Superintendent <br />jmartine0southbendin.gov <br />235 -7645 <br />Summary: To address the removal of snow on Redevelopment properties over the course <br />of a 14 week period during the winter months. Start date will be at the first significant <br />snow fall. The properties in question have been identified and provided by Redevelopment. <br />Properties added after the fact will be subject to independent billing beyond the original <br />agreement. If the winter months should last longer than the proposed 14 week budget, we <br />can bill individually for each additional week needed. <br />Statement of Need: Proposed cost covers the employee wages, supervision, vehicle cost, <br />repair, and gasoline costs incurred by the snow removal. Additionally we are including a <br />onetime startup cost of a snow thrower at $1,599.99 in order to facilitate snow removal. <br />See attached estimate. <br />Project Description: Snow will be removed on previously identified properties Monday <br />through Friday, SAM through 1PM, with a variety of tools including shovels, snow throwers, <br />and a 4x4 plow. Weekends will not be included as we do not bring employees in for <br />weekend snow removal. Properties will be cleaned on a priority basis in accordance to their <br />amount of foot traffic and we will log the individual dates and times the snow is removed. <br />This will help keep track of how often and when the walks and crossings get snow pushed <br />back onto them by street plowing. <br />Billing Details: An invoice for the amount of $18,600 will be generated by Parks and <br />submitted to Redevelopment Commission for payment. The billed amount covers the 14 <br />weeks of snow removal previously discussed in the summary as well as the afore mentioned <br />snow thrower. Additional properties added throughout the course of the year will be billed <br />at $29.93 an hour for removal efforts. This will be billed in .25 hour increments. If snow <br />removal is needed longer than the 14 week time frame, we can perform the removal on a <br />week by week basis, with a billed $1,197.25 per week. <br />
