for SOUTH BEND CA PRA R A PARKS & RECREATION g ACCRED DEPARTMENT 11/20/2014 Redevelopment Snow Removal Proposal John Martinez a Superintendent jmartine @southbendin.gov 235-7645 Summary: To address the removal of snow on Redevelopment properties over the course of a 14 week period during the winter months. Start date will be at the first significant snow fall. The properties in question have been identified and provided by Redevelopment. Properties added after the fact will be subject to independent billing beyond the original agreement. If the winter months should last longer than the proposed 14 week budget, we can bill individually for each additional week needed. Statement of Need: Proposed cost covers the employee wages, supervision, vehicle cost, repair, and gasoline costs incurred by the snow removal. Project Description: Snow will be removed on previously identified properties Monday through Friday, 5AM through 1PM, with a variety of tools including shovels, snow throwers, and a 4x4 plow. Properties will be cleaned on a priority basis in accordance to their amount of foot traffic and we will log the individual dates and times the snow is removed. This will help keep track of how often and when the walks and crossings get snow pushed back onto them by street plowing. Billing Details: An invoice for the amount of $17,000 will be generated by Parks and submitted to Redevelopment Commission for payment. The billed amount covers the 14 weeks of snow removal previously discussed in the summary. Additional properties added throughout the course of the year will be billed at $29.93 an hour for removal efforts. This will be billed in .25 hour increments. If snow removal is needed longer than the 14 week time frame, we can perform the removal on a week by week basis, with a billed $1,197.25 per week.
