Abstract:

Many states and localities subcontract part or all of their winter operations. DBi Services has three contracts with the Virginia Department of Transportation (DOT) that include winter operations. Each of these contracts is distinctly different in the manner in which winter work is managed, performed and paid for by Virginia DOT. The Woodrow Wilson Bridge contract is a full asset maintenance contract with the entire responsibility of management and operations of winter work resting with DBi Services. Payment for snow and ice operations is included in the lump sum monthly fee for all maintenance of this section of Interstate. The Northern Virginia Interstate 66 winter operations contract is a line item contract managed by Virginia DOT. DBi Services is paid by the hour for each piece of equipment that it provides and operates at the direction of Virginia DOT. The Staunton North Turnkey Asset Maintenance contract is a hybrid contract for winter operations work. DBi Services is completely responsible for winter operations up to a specific snowfall amount. Above that amount Virginia DOT reimburses DBi Services per inch of snowfall over 6 in. as measured at specific sites along the project corridor. The purpose of this paper is to describe each of these contract methods and compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of each. This information will assist those agencies currently contracting winter maintenance looking for additional options as well as agencies considering contracting winter operations in determining which method would be most beneficial for their particular application.
