Winter Snow Removal Plan

Developing a winter snow removal plan :

Every municipality must have a game plan on how it plans to deal with winter storms. Our consultants will help alleviate the confusion by developing a solid snow removal plan that will be uniquely suited to your requirements. Our consultants will apply their expertise in snow removal to identify potential hazards and problem areas and devise a snowstorm management roadmap that will see you through the winter. We analyze your unique situation and recommend the best course of action to help your municipality stay ahead through the worst winter weather.

When developing a snow or ice removal plan for your municipality, we will take into account factors. These factors include public safety, the environmental impact of those plans, the need to keep the transport system working throughout the winter storm, the need to keep emergency services running and accessible, and how to protect both public and private property. We also factor in the personnel and equipment you have available for the task and resource allocation for the snow removal plan.

We Pinpoint Your Snow and Ice Removal Priorities:

One of the many reasons why many municipalities get overwhelmed during winter storms is that they fail to identify the main priority areas during snowstorms. Public Works Consultants can help you zone in some of the key priority areas, such as how to make the roads safe and passable during the worst winter weather. Passable roads are a key priority as they enable emergency vehicles to respond to problems promptly. We can offer you a snow removal plan that will help keep your arterial roads open so you can keep your municipality running even in the worst snowstorms.

Some of the top priority areas during snowstorms are the high-volume arterial roads, bus routes, the steep grade roads in the municipality as well as how to keep access to emergency services open. There are also secondary priority areas during snowstorms, such as the secondary roads that serve the residential areas in the city, including routes to schools as well as the long-term care facilities. The last priority areas are usually the other roads that do not fall under the above categories. PWC can offer you a solid plan on how to implement these priorities systematically to keep your city running.

Operational Planning:

To be successful in your snow removal or winter storm clearance plans, it is necessary to have precise planning as well as an understanding of the process. While the vendor will ultimately have the responsibility of delivering prompt and professional services when it comes to snow removal, it is crucial to be in the driver’s seat to help steer the vendor towards the critical priorities in your municipality. Comprehensive operational planning will help streamline the vendor’s work. As experts in the snow removal business, PWC can put together high-quality operational plans that will help you get the best outcomes with your available resources and keep your municipality running even in the worst winter storms.  

Vendor Selection:

Public Works Consultants can assist your team with the vendor selection process. Choosing the right vendor will go a long way to ensuring the success of your winter storm or snow removal process. We help you ask the right questions and undertake vendor research and qualification to enable you to make the best decisions during the selection process. We can assist your municipality in drafting winter storm or snow removal RFQs that will be crucial in streamlining the bidding process. We can be involved at various levels of the vendor selection process to ensure that you have the best vendor by your side at this critical juncture.

Winter Snow Removal Plan

Implementation of the winter snow removal plan:

Public Works Consultants can put into effect the operational plans developed for the snow and ice removal when the weather conditions take a turn for the worst. We can help you with the early preparations for the snowstorms, including advice on the servicing of the snow equipment and the acquisition and stockpiling of a sufficient amount of de-icing materials to cater for the coming winter storm and what de-icing methods would work best.

Personnel Optimization:

For your municipal snow and ice control plan to work efficiently during storms, it is essential to have a clear chain of command that will enable the winter maintenance plan to be deployed into clear and practical sets of actions that alleviate the environmental problem. The final actions that your snow crews will undertake will flow from the general policies and procedures that have been developed and operationalized at the very top. At Public Works Consultants, we can assist your municipality with all aspects of personnel management and deployment during snowstorms to help you maximize the impact of your snow removal efforts. We can create an ice and snow removal plan that successfully coordinates the efforts of the snowplow operators, crew supervisors, and the management into one cohesive effort.
