Operations / EQUIPMENT / CONTIGENCY PLANS
BSI knows that the Treasure Valley can have weather that changes in the blink of an eye. This is why we keep all types of equipment and materials on hand to combat all types of winter storm events.
Plow trucks, spreaders, sprayers and skid loaders are just a few of the types of equipment that BSI can provide to clear your lot efficiently and effectively.
Rock salt, Calcium Chloride, and Magnesium Chloride in liquid and/or granular forms are the commonly used deicers at our disposal. However we focus on using liquid Calcium Chloride and liquid salt brine on parking lots and granular product on sidewalks.
At Boise Snow & Ice, we know that sometimes things happen. That's why we are fully insured with a 2 Million general liability insurance policy in the unlikely event of accident or injury.
We also carry workers compensation as well as our auto policy.
Invoices will be provided to clients after each service. Client's contracts are built for each unique client and can be adapted to fit the needs of the client including per occurrence, and flat-rate all-inclusive seasonal priced contracts.
Our trucks are logged each time they service your property, this information is then retained for at least 5 years in case you need it for future reference. In addition, these logs will provide accurate information for you such as type of precipitation, temperature and service provided.
Prior to the start of our winter operations, we will go through our properties and do a preseason site inspection. This is to make note of any prior damage or any changes to the parking lot or walks. We will also flag the lot if needed so that when there is snow on the ground, we have a clear understanding of where the parking lot is located. This ensures less damage to your property and better results. BSI monitors the weather 24/7 to ensure that we are providing the best
service to our customers.
BSI is equipped with state of the art technology such as GPS and special weather apps to provide accurate up to the date weather information so that we can battle each winter event with greatest effectiveness.
BSI watches the weather several days in advance so that our plan for each winter event can change as the weather changes. In the case of the "larger than normal" storms, we make sure we have a contingency plan in place so that we are able to keep each property open even during the roughest of storms as well as keeping our drivers and shovel crews well rested.
After the winter weather is over for the year, we will do a post inspection and remove our flags/equipment that may be on the property.
