The City of Burlington requires plowing and de-icing for various parking lots, designated walkways, entranceways, and pay-stations during the winter season. The work involves the continuous availability and supply of the necessary equipment and qualified operators.
De-icing Material Application: A salt or salt/sand mixture will be provided by the Citys Roads Parks and Forestry (RPF) Dept., and therefore de-icing product is not to be included in the unit prices. The use of salt versus the salt/sand mixture is determined by the City's Roads staff based on weather conditions. Wherever salt is mentioned, will refer to whichever material is dispensed by the City.
