Commissioners renew Glenwood Springs snow‑plow contract with $69,000 not‑to‑exceed cap
Summary
Board approved renewal with Gunsite Holdings (DBA Daily Property Services) for snow plowing, shoveling and hauling in Glenwood Springs, with a $69,000 not‑to‑exceed amount that staff said is a reduction from the prior term and billed hourly.
The Garfield County Board of County Commissioners approved a renewal contract with Gunsite Holdings, doing business as Daily Property Services, to provide snow‑plowing, ice‑removal, sidewalk shoveling and snow hauling services in Glenwood Springs.
Commissioners asked for detail about the $69,000 not‑to‑exceed amount for the contract. Staff said the amount is a reduction from the prior term (about $8,000 less), covers county parking lots, the sheriff’s office and other county facilities within Glenwood Springs, and also compensates the contractor for hauling snow to storage at the Road and Bridge site because the county lacks an on‑site snow storage area.
The nut graf: staff emphasized this is a not‑to‑exceed hourly contract — the county pays only for hours worked — and that if there is little snow the county will not spend the full $69,000; conversely, severe storms could cause the final bill to exceed the budgeted cap if additional authorization is needed.
A commissioner asked whether the contract included Rifle; staff replied it does not. Commissioners moved to approve item 6 on the consent agenda (the snow‑plowing contract) and the motion passed by voice vote.
The contract will be executed by staff and the county will monitor use and hourly charges during snow events.
