How Office Sidewalk Clearing Works in Roy, WA
At an office building, the sidewalk work is mostly hand work. A crew member shovels the walks from the lot to the main entrance, clears the area around doors, and spreads ice melt where needed. Crew time is $110 per person-hour. Bagged ice melt is $45 per 50 lb bag.
Roy does not get snow often. The average is 6.2 in per season, and only 1.8 days a year bring 1 in or more. Just 1.1 days a year stay below freezing. But there are 42 freezing nights between October and April, and about 3.45 light-snow days a year need deicing. For an office, that means a thin frost or slick patch on a walk can matter as much as a big storm.
Big storms do happen. Since 2005, the largest were:
- Feb 11-15, 2021: 15.4 in total, 7.1 in on the biggest day
- Jan 15-19, 2012: 12.9 in total, 8.3 in on the biggest day
- Feb 9, 2019: 7.4 in total
- Nov 22-23, 2010: 7.3 in total, 5.8 in on the biggest day
If a storm leaves a large lot or long walks, we can add a compact track loader with operator (Kubota SCL1000) at $175 per hour. Most office sidewalks are handled by hand.
