The City of Worcester solicited sealed‑bid offers to provide ordinance‑enforced sidewalk snow‑removal and sand‑treatment services for a two‑year period (Dec 2021‑Dec 2023). The contract is awarded to two landscaping firms who will be paid on a per‑linear‑foot basis, with rates varying by snow‑depth band and a flat fee for large‑equipment usage. Service requests must be responded to within 10–16 hours depending on snowfall, and invoicing is required within 7 days of completion. The city may optionally renew the contract for a third year, with any price increase limited to a blank‑percentage (effectively 0 %).
