City seeking bids for snow and ice removal

City Hall in Mason City

MASON CITY – Written quotations are being taken at the office of the Neighborhood Services Manager, Third Floor, City Hall, 10 – 1st St. NW, Mason City, IA 50401 until 2 o’clock p.m. on Thursday the 25th day of October, 2012, for work involving:

Snow and ice removal from sidewalks in the City of Mason City, IA

Snow and ice shall be removed from the sidewalks within a 48-hour period of the end of the snowfall or blowing snow according to Section 5-1G-1 of the City Code. Upon failure to remove the snow/ice from the sidewalks, the city will remove the snow/ice and charge the property owner accordingly.

Snow removal from certain 2008 Flood Buy-out homes may be included at a later date.

A brief explanation of the process follows:

The contractor is notified of the snow/ice removal locations not before 48-hours after the end of the snowfall, ice or blowing snow event and is expected to clear the sidewalk with 48-hours of receiving the notice. The contractor will receive payment for only the sidewalks cleared and not for every notice received. If the sidewalk is cleared before the contractor arrives, the notice is to be marked “Already cleared” and no payment will be received. The City will be responsible for collection of all payments and the contractor will bill the City for services rendered. In an effort to ease collection of payments, the City will require the contractor to provide a before and after digital photograph of each sidewalk that has snow/ice removed. The City will provide the digital camera.

The Contractor shall furnish the City with proof of liability insurance for a minimum of $1,000,000.00,  property damage coverage of not less than $500,000, and automotive liability insurance for a minimum of $100,000.00 each person; $300,000.00 each occurrence and property damage liability of $25,000.00.

To pick up a packet, have one mailed to you, contact Kim Birling, Neighborhood Services Secretary, 641-421-3380. For more information concerning the work outlined above, contact Pat Otto, Neighborhood Services Manager, 641-421-3380 or potto@masoncity.net.
