The Southern United States is not normally accustomed to snow, hence why a couple of inches throws states like Georgia into disarray. This is quickly followed by a shutting down of schools and the promise of snow days that never live up to the hype. However, in states such as North Carolina, the threat of snow is one to pay attention to. Typically, only specific areas should be truly worried about snow, but some areas are more expectant than others.
One such area is Greensboro, North Carolina. Usually expecting moderate snowfall in winter months, especially February, snow in this region is not usually enough to shut things down, but is enough to cause annoyance. This is why the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) is seeking a contractor to provide snow removal services for departments Housing and Residence Life as well as Facilities Operations on their campus. Clearing the roads for these facilities is essential to the efficient running of the campus, and no student should have to suffer through the cold in a very preventable situation. The contractor is to provide all labor, materials, and equipment to perform snow removal for the residence halls and academic buildings specified, allowing for students and staff to comfortably focus on their tasks and their education.
Beyond simply allowing students to focus on learning, snow removal services are vital for the safety of everyone on campus. Slippery pathways, icy roads, and other snow related obstacles can lead to harm on students, or at the very least present a significant enough obstacle that deters them from attending class. In addition, snow removal can also preserve the functionality of campus buildings. Buildup of snow can impede internet connectivity, disrupt electrical appliances, and disturb heating, leaving many students unable to accomplish school work or comfortably live in the buildings they are paying for. In the worst case, snow buildup can cause living conditions unsuitable for any person, let alone a student under the care of a university. To avoid these issues and to protect the students, snow removal services in these winter months are absolutely essential.
