This contract awards the Columbia Public School District’s snow‑removal services to two local vendors. The scope covers providing equipment (front‑end loaders, skid loaders, snow‑plow trucks, backhoes/tractors, and ancillary gear), qualified operators for each piece of equipment, manual labor, and ice‑control material applied by spreaders. Both vendors submit hourly rates for equipment plus operators, and a per‑pound rate for ice‑control chemicals. Salter Lawn Service LLC’s total hourly rates range from $150 to $300, while Columbia Landcare’s rates range from $140 to $190. The district will pay based on actual hours of equipment use and pounds of material applied; no overall contract ceiling is disclosed.
• Scope: Snow removal, ice‑control, equipment provision, and labor for all district properties.
• Pricing: Hourly equipment + operator rates plus per‑pound ice‑control material; effectively a labor‑hour (time‑and‑materials) structure.
• Award: Two vendors – Salter Lawn Service LLC and Columbia Landcare – were selected; the contract is already awarded, with no further bidding window.
