Best Practices in Snow Service Procurement: 52-Week Visual Timeline
The Best Practices in Snow Service Procurement Timeline was created to help facilities and property managers, snow service providers, and snow industry suppliers align on a general schedule to streamline the RFP and contract negotiation process to ensure sites are ready before winter begins.
The timeline contains a master timeline that illustrates both sides of the procurement process, more specific timelines for buyers and snow service providers, and a risk meter, which highlights the benefits and associated risks tied to the timing of contract award dates.
Before you access the page to download the timeline, please fill out the fields below and agree to the terms of use. Please email any questions to
