RE: Approve Agreement with Foust Excavating, Inc. for 2020/2021 Sidewalk Snow and Ice
Removal
BACKGROUND
The City of Oshkosh's (City) Municipal Code, Section 25-68, requires residents to remove snow and ice
from sidewalk and curb ramps abutting their property within twenty four (24) hours of cessation of
snowfall. Municipal Code Section 25-69 allows the City to remove the snow or ice and bill the
property owner for the cost of removal. Each year, the Department of Public Works requests quotes for
performing this work for the upcoming winter season.
ANALYSIS
The Department of Public Works advertised for quotations for performing 2020/2021 snow and ice
removal services for the City. A quote was received from one (1) firm. The quote was received from
Foust Excavating,Inc., who has performed these services for the City for the past three(3)years).
FISCAL IMPACT
The fees that will be charged by the contractor for snow and ice removal for each property are billed to
the individual property owner, resulting in no fiscal impact to the City. Property owners are charged
for the work performed. The base price includes snow and ice removal for up to one hundred (100)
feet. Additional fees are charged for longer distances,handicap ramps, and other special services. As a
matter of reference, the charge for snow and ice removal for a lot with one hundred (100) feet of
frontage will be$99. This includes an administrative fee.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The Department of Public Works recommends the Council award this agreement to Foust Excavating,
Inc.
Approved,
Mark A. Rohloff
City Manager
