There are three shift changes per day: 8:00 AM, 4:00 PM, and 12:00 Midnight. The majority of people work M-F 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The Facilities Building is open M-F 6:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The Inflation Building is open twice a day 1:00 AM and 1:00 PM. This will require the contractor to permit access to the building at these times. When possible, the plowing should be done before the normal work day M-F 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM or after shift changes. This will help to minimize the number of cars obstructing the parking lot. PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITY / TECHNICAL POINT OF CONTACT: Onsite: Bob Hopkins Meteorologist-in-Charge (MIC) Phone: 907.266.5120 Robin Radlein Hydrologist-in-Charge 907.266.5151 Debbie Brown Administrative Support Assistant 907.266.5142 Offsite: Brandi Taylor-Kelly ARH Contracting & Procurement Phone: 907.271.5124 PURPOSE: The contractor shall furnish all management, supervision, labor, materials, supplies and equipment (including heavy equipment and snow shovels) to provide efficient snow and ice removal services at the National Weather Service Forecast Office located at 6930 Sand Lake Road, Anchorage, AK. The contractor shall remove snow and ice by plowing, blowing, brushing, sweeping, shoveling, or other suitable means not harmful to the traffic surface as necessary in order to produce and maintain safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles. The contractor shall apply sand, ice melt, etc., as necessary to treat existing or developing unsafe conditions to produce safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS: Before the first snowfall, the contractor will install snow poles to define the edges of the parking lot, roads and fire hydrant. The snow poles will be removed in spring after the last snow has melted. Snow poles and attaching fasteners will be provided by the National Weather Service. Snow removal is expected after a 3 inch accumulation of snowfall or if authorized personnel call for additional snow removal or for an icing problem. Snow and ice removal services will be considered "automatic" and "on-call". It shall be the contractor's responsibility to monitor weather forecasts and conditions and automatically initiate removal services unless an authorized person calls for additional services. All doorways and sidewalks (the full width) will be kept clear of snow and ice. This includes: the sidewalks on the North and West sides of the WFO main building, the sidewalk attached to the main entrance, the sidewalk that connects the WFO main building to the facilities building, and the sidewalk that encircles the generator room. Ice melt will be used to keep the sidewalks from getting slippery from ice or compacted snow. The parking lots, work areas and roadways will be kept free of snow. These areas will also be sanded when they become slippery due to ice or compacted snow. The path to the flagpole needs to be shoveled and kept clear of snow and ice. The dumpster entrance must be kept clear of snow and ice for easy access. The fire hydrant will be kept clear of snow for ease of access. The work area located on the south and west sides of the facilities building will have the snow removed from all of the level area. The level area extends approximately 45 feet out from the building. The snow will also be cleared from the doorways of the two hazardous material storage sheds located on the west side of the facilities building. The inflation building has doors on all four sides of the building which need to be kept clear of ice and snow. Two of the doors are roll-up types, one is a standard entrance door and the fourth door is a double door. The level ground around the inflation building needs to be kept clear of snow. The level ground extends in a radius approximately 45 feet around the building. The road to the inflation building and the inflation building doors need to be plowed and cleared before 1:00 am and 1:00pm. This can be done independently of clearing the other areas. The small gravel road to the NOAA Weather Radio should be cleared of snow. Snow staking will be at the discretion of the snow removal company when/if the snow storage areas require such. After the last snowfall has melted in the spring all sand will be swept from the asphalt portions of the parking lots and all sidewalks. Special Conditions: 1) The door that exists on the south side of the building does not have a sidewalk that leads to the parking lot. If the snow depth exceeds 24 inches - upon special request a path will need to be cleared to the parking lot from this door. The Vendor will be held harmless as to any damage that may occur to the lawn underneath this path. It just needs to be walkable. It does not have to be cleared down to the grass. 2) Whenever the snow begins to melt, a puddle forms on the driveway near the entrance/exit to Sand Lake Road. Extra work is required to keep the south side of the driveway free from ice-damming so proper draining can occur. 3) All doorways and entrance walkways for the WFO main building and facilities building will be kept clear of snow and ice. 4) Snow removal services may include but are not limited to: hand shoveling, hand sweeping, snowplowing by truck, sanding, loader use, snow storage, and application of approved ice melt. DELIVERABLE SCHEDULE: November 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012 Base Plus Four Option Years which will begin October 1 through April 30. INVOICING The vendor will bill on a monthly basis in arrears.
