Contractor will make all reasonable efforts to have the parking lots and sidewalks cleared by 7:00 am. Parking lots and walkways must be passable and safe before school starts.
3. Contractor will begin plowing at the property as soon as the snow or ice reaches a depth of 3 inches, regardless of the time day or night or the day of the week. If it snows 3 inches or less, Contractor will salt hard surfaces including the sidewalk, stairs and parking lot.
4. For snowfalls of 3"- 6" depth, all snow shall be plowed away from the buildings and pushed to the farthest end of the parking lot. No snow shall be piled up and stacked around light posts, or onto islands or landscaping.
