<strong>Shaker</strong> <strong>Heights</strong> Police Department<strong>Snow</strong> <strong>Plow</strong> <strong>Operator</strong> Permits2012/2013 SeasonPublic <strong>List</strong>ing(<strong>See</strong> <strong>Snow</strong> <strong>Plow</strong> <strong>Operator</strong> <strong>List</strong> <strong>Below</strong>)Tips from Better Business Bureau about Choosing a Contractor:Get Written Estimates - Do not just pick the first company that leaves a flyer atyour door. Compare the services <strong>of</strong>fered by several companies as well as the prices– the lowest price is not always the best deal. Ask what back up plan the companyhas if a truck breaks down during a heavy snowfall. Get customer references andcall them to see if the company was reliable.Choose a Reputable Company – Check the company’s BBB Reliability Report atbbb.org or by phone at (216) 241-7678.Get a Written Contract – When you’ve selected a company, be sure your contractincludes the company’s address and, preferably, two telephone numbers to reachthem. The contract should define the length <strong>of</strong> the service. It should be morespecific than just “winter”. Beginning and ending dates should be clearly stated.Some contracts may be for a certain number <strong>of</strong> snow removals or “pushes”. Thecontract should also specify when removal will occur (e.g. accumulations <strong>of</strong> 2 inchesor more). Find out what happens if we get a late season snowfall after your contracthas ended – what will you be charged for additional pushes?Insurance – Is the company fully insured in case <strong>of</strong> damage to property? Be sure toget it in writing on your contract.Spring Cleanup – Do not assume the company will return in the spring to repairany damage to your lawn or other property – get it in writing.Payment Terms - If you pay the full price <strong>of</strong> the contract and the plowing servicedoes not show, you will be out <strong>of</strong> luck. Check to see if you can pay monthly, by the“push” or other terms.Remember to put stakes or other markers around the boundaries <strong>of</strong> your driveway tominimize damage to your yard or landscape decorations.November 16, 2012drm
