The State of Iowa is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ) for snow and ice removal services at the 6200 Park Ave., Des Moines, IA. 50321 Facility. The duration of this contract will be for five (5) months. The 6200 Park location houses the following agencies: The Iowa Board of Nursing, Iowa Board of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing, and The Iowa Board of Medicine. The facility has a parking lot and various walkways that encircle the building.
Snow Event
A Snow Event is a single accumulation of snow that begins and ends without a two-hour break and needs removal. The snowfall amount for any snow event will be determined by readings made by the National Weather Service Snowfall Analysis site (https://www.weather.gov/crh/snowfall). This source will be required by the contractor to recognize the accumulation resource for invoicing.
An example of a Snow Event is:
Snowfall begins at 3:00AM and accumulates for 4 ½ hours. Whatever the snowfall total is in inches, would be the event pricing.
If a new snowfall begins within 1 hour and 59 minutes of the end of the original snowfall, the Snow Event would be considered one event.
If a second snowfall begins 2 or more hours after the first snowfall ends, this would be considered a “new event” and would be billed as a separate event based on the above snowfall amount in inches of the new event.
In the event snow falls or continues to fall throughout the day, the contractor must be available to do driving lanes, driveways, or full site cleanup if called to do so. If this is needed, the Agency will contact the contractor.
Vendors are to provide pricing for snow removal, excluding salting, per snow event definition note above, using a one-inch (1”) trigger, for the following events:
1”- 3”
3.1”- 6”
6.1”- 9”
9.1”+
Drifting Event
A drifting event results from widen-driven snow accumulation occurring outside of a snow event. This will be priced on an hourly rate event and not a measurable snow event.
