MEMORANDUM

FROM: Steven M. Gohde, Assistant Director of Public Works SN"i
DATE: November 9, 2017
RE: Agreement with Foust Excavating, Inc. for 2017/2018 Snow and Ice Removal
BACKGROUND
The City's Municipal Code, Section 25-68, requires residents to remove snow and ice from sidewalk and
curb ramps abutting their property within 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 requested quotes for performing 2017/2018 snow and ice removal
services for the City of Oshkosh. Quotes were received from two firms. After review of both quotes, it
was determined the lowest responsible quote was received from Foust Excavating, Inc.
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 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 100 feet of frontage will be $100. 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
