5. Weather conditions Sweeping operations will be conducted when weather conditions permit. Factors that may delay sweeping operations include: temperatures below 32 °, wind, rain, snow, and frozen gutter lines. 6. Work schedule Sweeping operations are performed in conjunction with and can be impacted by other maintenance operations. Sweeping operations will normally be conducted Monday - Friday, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Extended workdays and shift changes may be utilized for spring cleanup or emergency sweeping to provide maximum efficiency. For safety reasons, no operator shall work more than a twelve -hour shift in any twenty -four hour period. 7. Sidewalks and Trails The city will sweep trails and sidewalks on collector and arterial streets once in the spring as needed after the risk of snow has passed and they are clear of snow and ice. Additional sweeping will be performed on an as- needed basis. The City will use a skid -steer or other utility vehicle with a broom attachment to sweep sidewalks and trails. 8. Safety Sand, sealcoat rock, or other dirt and debris on the street can create a potentially dangerous condition for vehicles, motorcyclists, bicyclists, and pedestrians. It would not be practical or effective to sign all streets for potential dangerous conditions. During sealcoat or milling operations, warning signs indicating loose rock will be placed on each end of collector and arterial streets or other appropriate areas where needed. These signs will remain in place until the street has been swept. Employees will follow all work rules, OSHA regulations, and Federal and State laws to ensure a safe sweeping operation. 3 4
