BACKGROUND
Kingsbury General Improvement District’s skilled employees,
management staff and Board of Trustees, working as a team, are
committed to provide water and sewer, and maintain roads and drainage
systems in an efficient, courteous, and accountable manner, for the
long-term benefit of our customers, in accordance with standards set
for public health, safety and the environment. Snow removal services
are provided to district customers as a contracted service of the agency.
The district provides limited augmentation of the snow removal effort by
application of saline solution in advance of icing condition.
The district seeks qualified vendors to balance the road plowing
(public safety), costs, and environmental impact with the minimal
application of deicing material applied at rates appropriate for site
specific and weather conditions. During evolving weather events, solid
judgements and reliable communications between the district and
contractor are mandatory.

October to 31 May each year. During light snow periods, the Contractor

provided for in this contract.
The District will furnish to the Contractor maps of the district for use
by Contractor’s drivers. Maps will designate roads to be plowed, primary
sanding routes and secondary sanding routes.
