Submit all questions to Scott Noonan snoonan@lucasmha.org QUESTION SUBMITTAL DEADLINE October 19, 2023 at 12:00 PM ET The Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority (LMH) is seeking bids from qualified, licensed, and bonded entities to provide Snow Removal and Salting services for LMH and its affiliates. Contractors will submit bids to enter into a one (1) year agreement with LMH (the Agreement) with an option by LMH to extend for four (4) subsequent one-year agreement(s). Scope of Services: General: Snow is to be removed from parking areas, aprons, curb cut parking spaces, streets and sidewalks managed by LMH. Snow is also to be removed around trash can containment areas and dumpster holding areas. Snow and ice shall be removed from all locations and taken off-site for specific properties or placed on the grass at other areas in an area that will not block resident entrances, streets, drives, sidewalks, parking areas, aprons, curb cut, trash containers, dumpsters, gas meters, vehicles, mailboxes, fire hydrants or any utility access, or drainage routes found on-site. The Contractor shall not pile snow on landscaping in a manner that would impede the drainage of melting snow or rain run-off, or the piling of additional snow from future plowing. Snow must be placed in an area that is as far away from the residents or office locations as possible. Some apartment communities have special requirements in regard to plowing or complete snow removal as stated below. Sidewalk and Walkway Snow Removal: LMH Community properties will have two types of pathways that will require snow removal and rock salt, Public Sidewalks and Tenant Walkways. Public Sidewalks: The Contractor shall ensure that all sidewalks are free of snow and rock salt is applied as needed to impede ice accumulation. Contractors shall ensure that snow is not piled on sidewalks at any LMH location. City sidewalk snow must be removed within 24 hours of the snow event to be in compliance with the City of Toledo requirements. Tenant Walkways: The Contractor shall ensure that all tenant walkways, including stoops, steps, etc., from the sidewalk to the door of the residence are free of snow, and rock salt is applied as needed to impede ice accumulation. Both types of pathways shall have snow shoveled and salted unless other arrangements are made with the LMH Maintenance Supervisor and/or Property Manager.
