Top Ten Items To Review On Your Snow Services Estimate
Gasaway believes in well negotiated snow removal contracts that are a win-win for everyone. We do not believe in hidden costs, “gotcha” pricing, or unethical billing. So we have included a few things for you to consider when negotiating your upcoming contracts with your snow removal vendor.
What type of contract are you considering for your commercial property – per push or seasonal?
Is the expectation of acceptable response time from your service provider specified in your contract?
What is the trigger depth specified on your contract – zero tolerance, 1” or 2” tolerance? In other words, when do you expect your service contractor to be there and are your expectations the same as what is specified in your contract?
What type of service do you expect during your normal business hours, and does it correlate with your shift changes if applicable?
If you do have a seasonal contract does it include deicing and/or salting, or is that an additional charge?
Are you getting charged extra for over-time on weekends, evenings or holidays?
Have you provided a site plan to your service provider of your facility? Have you outlined “critical” areas? Are there areas that snow can be piled and stored? Are there any specific safety concerns that need to be addressed?
How will your contractor handle blizzards or heavy snowfalls? Does he have the right equipment for the job, and of the equipment provided what is company owned and what is provided by sub-contractors?
Are building tenants aware of above mentioned contract specifics, and whose responsibility is it to contact the snow removal service provider?
Is the service provider adequately insured?
