County snow removal agreement approved

A Centreville-based company has been awarded the job of snow removal from county property.
During last week’s county commission meeting, an independent-contractor agreement was approved with Adams Excavating, continuing a relationship between the two parties that dates several years.
The task centers on the courthouse parking lot, the parks building and animal-control parking lot, and the sheriff’s department/central dispatch parking lot.
Adams will provide snow-clearing services when accumulation has reached two inches or more and will be required to have lots cleared by 7:30 a.m. in the event of overnight snow.
Adams will be paid $575 per snow-clearing/plowing incident.
The contract is in effect through April 15.
