SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT SCOPE OF WORK

  • Plow the driveway to the curb, one or more times per storm starting at approximately two inches, as conditions dictate, with a maximum of three (3) visits per calendar day.

SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT GENERAL CONDITIONS

Snow Management will commence when approximately two inches, or more, of snow accumulates as determined by the Contractor; irrespective of time of day or day of week and including all holidays.  Customer understands that snow accumulations may vary throughout the area, and that accumulations in one section of the area are not necessarily indicative of the accumulations at your Property.  In the event of snowfall of less than two inches of total accumulation or if blowing and drifting of snow occurs, please notify us as to the necessity of additional services. Public sidewalk services may not occur at the same time as driveway and porch services. 

SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT SPECIFICATIONS

1. Please keep plowing areas clear of vehicles, debris, newspapers, and various other items to ensure a thorough plowing.  It is the Contractor's policy to stay a minimum of (2) two feet away from all vehicles parked in the plowing area.  If a vehicle is blocking the area to be plowed, We will only plow the open portion of the plowing area.  If We are called back to plow the remainder of the area where vehicles or debris had been in the way, the Customer will be billed at a prorated amount.                                  

2. Marker stakes will be installed along Customer's pavement to help protect the lawn and other property from plow damage.

SNOW AND ICE MANAGEMENT TERMS

1. The Customer understands that plowing or ice management of a particular location may not clear the area to "bare pavement" and that slippery conditions may continue to prevail even after Snow or Ice Management services have occurred. The Customer understands that Alexis Property Management, LLC., its employees, subcontractors or consultants assumes no liability for this naturally occurring condition. The Customer is aware that weather conditions may change rapidly and without notice and that Contractor assumes no liability for such changes in conditions. During operations and after completion of operations, Customer agrees to indemnify and save harmless the Contractor, and its employees, against any and all claims by the Customer, its employees or third parties, their heirs, executors, administrators, successors, surrogates, or assignees, arising on account of death or injuries to persons or damage to property, arising out of use of, or traveling at, or onto, the Property, whether or not such claim, damage, injury or death results from the negligence of Customer, Contractor or others. Customer shall defend all suits and claims arising from or incidental to the work under the Agreement, without expense or annoyance to the Contractor or its employees. 

2.  Ice management / de-icing materials: If you have concerns for slippery or icy conditions which could result in damage, injury or death, an application of salt can be made for $16.00 per 100-lb. OR to help minimize the effects of de-icing chemicals to concrete sidewalks and surrounding vegetation, 50 lb. bags of Potassium Chloride can be applied at the rate of $50 per 50 pounds. Slippery conditions may continue to prevail even after ice control services have occurred.  Market Values and Shortages affect availability and pricing.

3. The Customer agrees to guard, and not alter, or remove plow stakes. Customer understands that these stakes are the only points of reference for plow operators and by moving or removing the stake, damage to Customer property may occur.  Customer agrees to notify Contractor if stakes are lost, damaged or altered.  Lost or damaged stakes will be charged at $2.00 per stake. 

4. It is understood that the Contractor is not responsible for incidental damages from plowing or deicing materials to ground cover, shrubbery, landscape lighting, parking curbs, paver bricks, hardscapes, blacktop surfaces, concrete, movement of gravel, and snow piling, etc.

5.   The Customer is responsible for any damage to obstacles that protrude from the surface of the pavement. This includes utilities such as water shut offs, sewer vents & clean outs and any other obstacles on or near the pavement. Customer understands that snow plowing, by its very nature, involves pushing a steel blade over the surface of the pavement. If your pavement is defective, deteriorated, weakened, frost heaved, or, was installed improperly, the results of this previous damage are more likely to appear after snow plowing. Contractor is not responsible for any damages to pavement or curbs unless Contractor has been negligent.

6.   If sidewalk snow maintenance is selected as an option: The Customer understands that the sidewalk crews may not work safely if temperature and wind conditions combined to make the wind-chill factor below (0) zero degrees Fahrenheit.  The Customer agrees and understands that the Contractor reserves the right to stop working in these severe conditions (without penalty), so as not to force unsafe conditions upon our employees.  7.   Contractor will reserve a time slot just for you. Thus, Contractor expects payment for that time slot each time approximately 2" or more snow falls and we send our trucks out to plow. If we get to your premises and it has already been cleared by someone other than Alexis Property Management, LLC., we will still charge the initial accumulation price for that time slot. 

8.   Service is effective between November 15, and April 15 of the Calendar Year. 

9.  Commercial Snow/Ice Maintenance on holidays will be charged at a 20 % premium. Holidays include: Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year’s Day and Easter.  Residential customers excluded from this clause. 

10.  Seasonal rates are based on a sixty-inch season total, as determined by the National Weather Service. 

11.   Contractor is not responsible for snow banks built up by municipal plows after service has been rendered, nor ice that forms caused by melting and refreezing after services were originally provided. 

12.   Terms are Net 10 with a 2% charge per month (24% per annum) on all balances 10 days past due. Customer agrees to pay all costs associated with collecting past due balances including, but not limited to, any and all attorney's or collection agency's fees.
