RFP Q&A:
This revised Q&A is to help clarify "Completion Times":
Contractor Question: Could you please clarify if work should begin after the snowfall has completely stopped? For example, if a storm accumulates one (1) inch by 2:00AM and an additional three (3) inches by 7:00AM, do we have until 7:00AM the following day to complete the work (when the snow has fully stopped)? Or, do we need to finish by 2:00am when the snow reached one (1) inch?
HHA Response: Removal of snow 24 hours after a snowfall has stopped is a city code requirement of the City of Helena. All HHA sites will need to be cleared of snow no later than 24 hours after a snowfall has ceased to meet this standard. So, in the situation described above, this would mean that the Contractor would have until 7:00AM the following day (24 hours after snowfall ceases) to complete the work. HHA would expect vendors to clear snow as soon as possible after a snowfall ceases. We would ask vendors to specify generally in their proposal what timeline they would be following in regards to their general snow removal workplan and practices.
