Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
The Division of Transportation is responsible for snow and ice removal and control and for maintaining the City's roadway system. To accomplish this mission, the Division requires ten snow plows and ten salt spreaders. These plows and spreaders will be installed on 10 1-ton pick-up trucks, already existing in the division's fleet. As a part of the 2007/2008 Snow and Ice Removal Plan, the Public Service Department identified the need for more snow and ice removal equipment that can be utilized to clear residential streets. These plow and spreader-equipped pick-up vehicles will allow the City to raise the service standard for snow removal in neighborhoods after each snow event. This plow and spreader purchase is consistent with the division's fleet replacement program and snow and ice removal plan.
