Snow Removal Proposal Tips

  1. 1

    Spell out your trigger depth in writing. 'We plow when it snows' creates arguments. 'We plow when accumulation reaches 2 inches at the service address' does not. Put the trigger in the proposal so every client is on the same standard.

  2. 2

    Quote per-push and seasonal pricing side by side. Clients who see both numbers do the math themselves — and many choose seasonal once they realize three heavy storms cover the difference. Make the comparison easy and let them decide.

  3. 3

    Itemize salt and sand application separately. De-icing is not plowing. Some lots need two salt runs per storm; some need none. Breaking it out keeps your costs covered and lets clients opt in or out based on their budget and liability exposure.

  4. 4

    Clarify commercial lot priorities in the proposal. Entrances, fire lanes, handicapped spaces, and loading docks need to be clear before customers or employees arrive. Name the sequence in the contract so there's no debate at 5am when you're deciding where to push first.

  5. 5

    Add a subcontractor disclosure if you use one. If a storm dumps 18 inches overnight and you bring in a second truck, clients should know in advance. A single sentence — 'work may be performed by licensed subcontractors operating under this agreement' — prevents the call you don't want to be answering mid-storm.
