• Meet equipment specs: ≥ 11‑ft plow, ≥ 40‑in high, manual‑hydraulic spreader optional; AVL devices must be installed on all dump‑truck and 4×4 units.
• Maintain 24 × 7 availability, submit daily work logs, and comply with insurance (minimum $1 M/$3 M GL, $1 M automotive).
• Pay structure includes pre‑season retainers, hourly operator rates (e.g., $275/hr for tri‑axle trucks), and minimum seasonal guarantees; post‑season retainers are paid after invoicing.
