Snow Operations Study - RFQual

The City of Toledo’s Division of Road & Bridge Maintenance is seeking a qualified consulting firm to perform a comparative snow‑operations study. The consultant will benchmark Toledo’s snow‑removal practices against up to ten peer U.S. municipalities, evaluate staffing, equipment, routing, technology, and communications, and deliver a final report with actionable recommendations, cost estimates, and a tiered “good‑better‑best” implementation plan. The study must be completed by 31 December 2026. • Conduct data‑collection pilot with two cities, then expand to a total of ≤ 10 peer cities. • Analyze current Toledo snow‑control procedures, shift structures, fleet utilization, brine/salt management, and public‑information practices. • Produce a draft and final PDF report plus an in‑person presentation to City staff and stakeholders.
