This agreement shall be entered into with the City Council of the City of Ramsey, administered by the Director of Public Works and under the direct operation supervision of the Public Works Street Supervisor or designated representative. d. Municipal Parking Ramp Snow Removal The City's snow removal policy requires that the ramp, ramp entrance road, perimeter sidewalks associated with the ramp and internal exposed stairwells and crossover walkways will be cleared of all snow by 5:00 am on all levels of the parking ramp. Sidewalks and stairwells must be treated for ice as needed. Normal plowing operations for the City of Ramsey begin with the accumulation of two (2) or more inches of snow. For the purposes of the Parking Ramp and Municipal Center snow removal operations will begin with the accumulation of 1 /2" or more. Snow is to be removed from the site and deposited at a location provided by the city. The dumpsite will be located within a one mile radius of the Municipal Center. It is the intention of the CITY to retain the services of the CONTRACTOR for each snow fall requiring removal under the CITY'S current Snow Removal Policy. It will remain city staff's responsibility to respond to snowfalls and icy conditions that arise during the business day. Historically, Ramsey averages approximately 44 inches of snow per year requiring 6 - 10 separate snow removal operations. Snow removal operations should be completed in approximately 2 -4 hours. www.nws.noaa.gov will be the official website for snowfall amounts for the 55303 zip code. Municipal Surface Parking Lots and Sidewalks The City's snow removal policy requires that all surface parking lots and sidewalks contained within the Municipal Center Campus will be cleared of snow and treated for ice by 7:00 am. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to supply a list of de -icing chemicals and their operating characteristics for approval by the city. Again the snow is to be removed from the site and deposited in a location provided by the city. No snow from the parking lots or sidewalks may be pushed or deposited on any city street, sidewalk or adjacent property. 4
