Quotations_9-29-23.docx Page 1 of 9
CITY OF OSHKOSH REQUEST FOR QUOTATIONS
FOR SNOW AND ICE REMOVAL
Work Summary
The City of Oshkosh is soliciting Quotations for the periodic removal of snow and ice from
sidewalks and handicap ramps/crosswalks adjacent to private properties and over railroad
crossings within the municipal boundaries. The CITY is seeking a contractor for a one (1) winter
season commitment, starting immediately for the Winter 2022/2023 season. City Ordinances
require that property owners keep their public sidewalks clear of snow and ice. When property
owners fail to keep their public sidewalks clear of snow and ice, then the CITY is allowed to clear
these sidewalks for the property owners, at their expense, for the benefit of the public that may
use the sidewalks. Quotations are due to the City of Oshkosh’s Engineering Division by 10:00
A.M. on Tuesday, October 24, 2023.
Cleaning the public sidewalks adjacent to private properties will represent the majority
of snow and ice removal work pursuant to this Contract. Also included within this Contract is
the snow and ice removal on sidewalks at railroad crossings. The City of Oshkosh does not
guarantee any particular amount of work will be offered during the term of this contract. The
work required for this Contract depends on the weather and depends on the number of property
owners who fail to clear their sidewalk. For example, in the Winter 2012/2013 season, there were
over 950 snow shoveling jobs performed, including the sidewalks for 13 railroad crossings.
However, in the relatively mild Winter 2011/2012 season, there were only 213 snow shoveling
jobs and 13 railroad crossings. Last year, during the 2022/2023 winter season, there was a total of
302 snow shoveling jobs and 0 railroad crossings. The snow shoveling job examples included
repeated clearing of certain properties and other random properties that may have only been
cleared once.
Another important task for the successful contractor will be the ability to conduct
themselves in a positive and professional manner when interacting with property owners,
tenants, and other citizens. Contractors must be able to handle the occasional difficult situation
and/or a person who may be unhappy with the snow and ice removal work being performed by
the CONTRACTOR. Please note the requirements for when information must be submitted to
the City. The deadline is five (5) business days.
All documentation will be processed through the on-line software program developed by
the CITY. The software program can be demonstrated at the request of a prospective contractor.
Please contact Justin Gierach at (920)236-5065 to arrange for a demonstration of the software.

Prequalification
All contractors must be prequalified to quote. Prequalification for the snow and ice
removal contract shall be completed on the attached forms. Prequalification forms are due to
the City of Oshkosh’s Engineering Division by 4:00 P.M. on Thursday, October 19, 2023.
The CONTRACTOR must be qualified to furnish all labor, material, and equipment to
complete the required work. The CITY will review contractor qualifications based upon
experience, available equipment, and their ability to conduct themselves appropriately with the
public.
The CITY reserves the right to check references and to contact property owners who have
hired the CONTRACTOR in the past, whether or not those persons have been disclosed by the
CONTRACTOR. The CITY reserves the right to perform other background checks on the
CONTRACTOR, as allowed by law, to verify the ability of the CONTRACTOR to interact with
property owners, tenants, and other citizens in a professional manner.
If the CITY believes it is necessary, the CITY reserves the right to inspect the
CONTRACTOR’s equipment at any time. Inspection may be during the pre-qualification period,
when evaluating the CONTRACTOR’s quotation, and during the contract period. All equipment
shall have adequate safety features for working in the right-of-way and be in good operating
condition. All motorized equipment, except walk-behind equipment, must have amber flashing
light(s) visible from 360°.
The only equipment that can be used to clear any surface, such as sidewalks, handicap
ramps/crosswalks, and railroad crossings, are shovels or lightweight pieces of equipment that
will not crack or damage the surface from which the snow or ice is removed or other
property/surfaces. Snow removal equipment shall not disturb or go on private property. As an
example, a light-duty skid steer loader/small tractor and bucket that matches the width of the
sidewalk may be acceptable. Removing snow and/or ice where unusual conditions have occurred
from a site will generally require the use of a front-end loader and dump truck.
As part of their prequalification, the CONTRACTOR must describe the snow and ice
removal equipment they own or can confirm they have available and intend to use to perform
these jobs. At a minimum, the CITY believes contractors should have the following equipment
available through ownership or leasing to successfully carry out the requirements of this work:
a) Tractor/skid steer loader with appropriate snow removal attachments;
b) Shovels and snowblower(s);
c) End loader;
d) Dump truck;
e) Digital camera (s) with capability to date stamp photos; and
f) Computer with internet access and Microsoft Internet Explorer 11.

tasks:
1. Remove all snow and/or ice at a single location/lot with 0 to 100 feet of sidewalk
(including rock salt/sand application, if necessary).
This includes the removal of all snow and ice at a single location or single lot.
Snow and ice cannot be placed in the street. CONTRACTOR shall not pile snow
higher than thirty inches (30”) above the sidewalk in the intersection and for a
distance of thirty feet (30’) from the intersection. This price should be calculated
with the understanding this base point location or lot may contain anywhere from
zero feet (0’) to one hundred feet (100’) of sidewalk. This price should also be
calculated with the understanding rock salt and/or sand may need to be applied
at any time. The CITY will pay for one (1) trip to the location or lot. Additional
trips to the location or lot because of salting, sanding, or further cleaning will not
be reimbursed by the CITY. The snow and ice from both the initial storm event
and also from street plowing operations must be removed. Before and after
condition photos are required.
2. Additional footage beyond 100 feet at same location/lot (including rock

placed in the street. CONTRACTOR shall not pile snow higher than thirty inches
(30”) above the sidewalk in the intersection and for a distance of thirty feet (30’)
from the intersection. This price should be calculated for each additional foot of
sidewalk. This price should also be calculated with the understanding rock salt
and/or sand may need to be applied to each additional foot at any time. The CITY
will pay for one (1) trip to the location or lot. Additional trips to the location or lot
because of salting, sanding, or further cleaning will not be reimbursed by the CITY.
The snow and ice from both the initial storm event and also from street plowing
operations must be removed. Before and after condition photos are required.
3. Apply rock salt/sand only to 0 to 100 feet of sidewalk at a single location/lot.
For those instances when snow and/or ice can be removed to the CITY’s
satisfaction without shovels or mechanical means, the price shall include the
application of rock salt and/or sand only at a single location or single lot. This price
should be calculated with the understanding this base point location or lot may
contain anywhere from zero feet (0’) to one hundred feet (100’) of sidewalk. The
CITY will pay for one (1) trip to the location or lot. Additional trips to the location
or lot for further salting, sanding, or cleaning will not be reimbursed by the CITY.
Before and after condition photos are required.
4. Apply rock salt/sand only to additional footage beyond 100 feet at same
location/lot.
For those instances when snow and/or ice can be removed to the CITY’s
satisfaction without shovels or mechanical means, the price shall include
application of rock salt and/or sand only at a single location or single lot. This
price should be calculated for each additional foot of sidewalk beyond the base
point distance of one hundred feet (100’). The CITY will pay for one (1) trip to the
location or lot. Additional trips to the location or lot for further salting, sanding,
or cleaning will not be reimbursed by the CITY. Before and after condition photos
are required.
5. Remove all snow and/or ice from all pavement in the handicap ramp/crosswalk
quadrant (including rock salt/sand application if necessary).
This includes the removal of all snow and ice from all of the hard surfaces in
handicap ramps and adjacent pavement, which are typically in the crosswalk
quadrant of street intersections. Snow and ice cannot be placed in the street or be
piled to create a vision obstruction at the corner. CONTRACTOR shall not pile
snow higher than thirty inches (30”) above the sidewalk in the intersection and for
a distance of thirty feet (30’) from the intersection. This price should also be
calculated with the understanding rock salt and/or sand may need to be applied
at any time. This price should be calculated for each sidewalk quadrant (corner)
of a street intersection, regardless of how many ramps or access points are at a
quadrant. This task requires clearing sidewalk and ramp areas leading from the

Quotations_9-29-23.docx Page 5 of 9
sidewalk to the street. The required result is clear sidewalk access to and from the
street. This task will usually require the CONTRACTOR to remove snow from the
street to achieve the required result. Therefore, the CONTRACTOR is responsible
for snow and ice removal up to four feet (4’) into the street beyond the face of curb.
Multiple ramps in one (1) corner will only be allowed one (1) charge. The snow
and ice from both the initial storm event and also from street plowing
operations must be removed. Before and after condition photos are required.
This Item only occurs where the ramp/crosswalk is leading to a crossing of a public
right of way/street. Item does not apply to driveways/private entrances crossing
the area where the sidewalk/pedestrian walkway exists.
6. Remove and dispose of snow and/or ice from locations where unusual
conditions have occurred.
The CONTRACTOR shall designate a rate for removal and disposal of snow and
ice where unusual conditions have occurred, i.e. large piles of snow stockpiled by
property owners that intrudes onto public sidewalks or ice build-up from sump
pumps. Snow and ice are to be disposed of at CONTRACTOR’s own dump site.
This price shall be a flat rate to mobilize/demobilize equipment to the site, an
hourly equipment/labor rate to load and haul snow, and/or an hourly
equipment/labor rate to remove ice from sump pump discharge. CONTRACTOR
will not be paid for drive time to or from the site. Hourly loading rate will be paid
for time actually loading snow. Hourly removal rate will be paid for time actually
removing ice. In the event multiple loads must be hauled, CONTRACTOR shall
provide an hourly rate for hauling snow. Only actual time for loading and hauling
snow and ice removal will be paid. Idle time waiting will not be paid. Final load
disposal shall be part of mobilization/demobilization. CONTRACTOR will also
be paid for Proposal Items 1, 2, and/or 5, if snow pile was over sidewalk and/or
handicap ramp and work performed complies with Proposal Items 1, 2, and/or 5.
CONTRACTOR shall not pile snow higher than thirty inches (30”) above the
sidewalk in the intersection and for a distance of thirty feet (30’) from the
intersection. Before and after condition photos are required. This Proposal Item
shall only be used at the discretion of the CITY.
Time Requirements
Snow and ice removal for the CITY must be given priority. The CONTRACTOR will be
e-mailed a snow and ice removal list from the CITY. For lists sent up to 11:00 a.m. of any day,
work must begin within four (4) hours (i.e. by 3:00 p.m. that day). Lists sent at or after 11:01 a.m.
may be started immediately, if sufficient sunlight remains for proper documentation; work must
begin by 8:00 am of the following day. All snow and ice removal required by the CITY for each
list must be completed within twenty-four (24) hours after the CITY sends the list to the
CONTRACTOR or for lists sent at or after 11:01 a.m., by 10:00 p.m. of the following day. TIME
IS OF THE ESSENCE, ALL TIME PERIODS SHALL BE STRICTLY ENFORCED. The

I:\Engineering\SNOW SHOVELING FOLDERS\Snow Removal Contracts\2023\Request for
Quotations_9-29-23.docx Page 6 of 9
CONTRACTOR shall always be ready for immediate snow and ice removal with all equipment
in good working condition. The CITY will limit the maximum number of properties due on any
day to fifty (50), unless the CONTRACTOR requests additional properties and the CITY has
documented properties which require snow removal. Snow and ice removal can only occur
between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. The CONTRACTOR will be expected to work weekends to
complete the work required by the CITY. The only exception to the 24-hour completion
requirements is that the CONTRACTOR will not be expected to perform snow and ice removal
for the CITY on December 24th, 25th, and January 1st. The information for each list must be
entered into the City of Oshkosh software program within five (5) business days of receipt of
the list. In the event of new snowfall or ice accumulation, prior to the CONTRACTOR
completing removal of snow/ice from a location/lot, CONTRACTOR shall notify CITY within
twenty four (24) hours of the start of the new snowfall which locations/lots need to be
rechecked by CITY and placed on new list, if appropriate.
Required Work
The CONTRACTOR will be furnished, by e-mail, a list of sidewalks, or other areas, to be
cleared of snow and/or ice to the bare pavement. Sidewalks and handicap ramps/crosswalks
must be cleared of all snow and ice, for the entire width of the walk. In the event the sidewalk
abuts the street curb, CONTRACTOR shall clear a minimum width of five feet (5’) when the walk
is wider than five feet (5’) and a minimum width of four feet (4’) or full width of sidewalk, if
sidewalk is five feet (5’) or less in width. If the CONTRACTOR cannot clear snow/ice to the bare
pavement, the CONTRACTOR shall apply rock salt and/or sand material to make it safe for
pedestrian traffic. The CONTRACTOR shall return within twenty four (24) hours after the salt
or sand is applied to remove the snow or ice. In the event the snow/ice cannot be removed during
the second trip, CONTRACTOR shall return at least once every twenty four (24) hours until
snow/ice is removed. These subsequent trips cannot be charged to the CITY; they are covered
under the original trip. Additional snow/ice accumulation on areas still undergoing snow/ice
removal cannot be charged to the CITY as an additional trip; this additional snow/ice removal
will be included in the original trip. Before and after photos must also be taken immediately
before and immediately after the work is performed for all trips.
Each return trip must be documented with before and after condition photos with correct
date and time reference. Failure to provide photo documentation of return trips shall result in
non-payment for work.
A doorhanger, supplied by the CITY, must be placed on the front door of every property
cleared by the CONTRACTOR.
The CONTRACTOR must complete an entire work list before commencing to a new work
list; however, the need for return trips will not prevent the CONTRACTOR from proceeding to
the next list.
In the event the CONTRACTOR is unsure if they should perform work at a property on
the list, the CONTRACTOR must notify the CITY via a phone call message to (920)236-5065
DocuSign Envelope ID: F9D0F56B-DE5E-4ACE-A151-E95BB171F781

within four (4) hours of the original site trip. The CITY will review the property and give
direction to the CONTRACTOR. The work may be kept as part of the original list or removed
from the list. The CONTRACTOR must document the original site visit with proper photo
documentation.
The CONTRACTOR shall take all necessary precautions to protect passersby, the public
right-of-way, and neighboring property from damage and injury. The CONTRACTOR will be
held responsible for damages to sidewalks, trees, structures, grass areas, and any other items due
to their operations.
Salt and chemicals applied on or near railroad crossings can reduce the resistant
properties of timber and ballast. The CONTRACTOR shall limit the use of salt or chemicals on
or near railroad crossings.
Requirements Before Invoices will be Paid
The CONTRACTOR will not be paid for sidewalks cleared that are not on the list
provided by the CITY. The CONTRACTOR must complete an entire work list before
commencing to a new work list. Within five (5) business days of receipt of a work list, the
following information must be entered into the CITY software program for each property:
a. Date and exact time of snow and/or ice removal;
b. Date and exact time rock salt/sand was applied;
c. Approximate length of walk cleared at each location;
d. Before and after condition photos (in digital format) of work performed at each
location are required. Photos shall clearly identify the location of the property with
landmark features in the background (multiple photos may be required). Camera
must place correct date stamp on photos. Before and after photos must be taken
immediately before and immediately after the work is performed;
e. Date, time, location, and photos of any return trips;
f. Any comments (for example: return trip required, already cleared, homeowner
came out to shovel, etc.).
To process proper payment, required information on each property shoveled must be
submitted to the Department of Public Works. All photographs taken must clearly show the
before and after condition of the sidewalk and be taken with adequate light. The cost of the
internet access and photos is considered to be included as part of the pertinent Bid Items. The
CONTRACTOR will not be paid for work that is not properly documented or incomplete as per
conditions of the Contract. Also, the CONTRACTOR will not be paid for work completed after
the 24-hour time limitation has expired, excluding return trips.
