Fiscal Impact
The proposed FY 2016 budget is requesting $175,000 in total for the fiscal year to salt and plow the Village-owned/leased parking lots in Parking Services General Contractual and split between the on-street and off-street programs based upon parking stalls for the plowing and salting of Village owned/leased lots. In addition, sidewalk shoveling is budgeted in the General Fund account #1001-43740-765-530667 in the amount of $15,000.
Background
The Village owns or leases approximately one hundred-nineteen (110) parking lots and is responsible for salting and snow removal in these parking lots and adjacent sidewalks. In addition the Village provides other sidewalk snow removal services.
On September 11, 2014, the Village issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) to seek qualified contractors for snow plowing and salting of Village owned / leased parking lots and sidewalks for the 2014-2015 winter season. The lots are to be salted by the contractor(s) when a snowfall is less than two (2) inches. The lots are to be plowed by the contractor(s) when snowfall is more than two (2) inches.
On October 20, 2014 the Village approved a resolution for a one year agreement with G.A. Paving Construction, Inc, for Snow-Ice Removal from Public Parking Lots and Sidewalks. Staff is recommending that the Village enter into a second one-year agreement with G.A. Paving Construction Co. Inc. to provide these services for the 2015-2016 snow season.
Alternatives
The alternative would be to purchase additional snow removal equipment to complete the work with in-house crews. This would add a considerable amount of hours to the snow removal process.
