Helpful Info

 What information should I provide when scheduling a sweep?
 - The most important information is the exact location of the job, and the type of work needing performed  (lot, road, milling, spill, etc. clean up).
     -The name of your company or association, your name, and a telephone number where you can be reached.
     -Information regarding prevailing wage requirements, MDOT contract numbers
     - If the job is large, an arranged site to dump sweepings, and refill water for dust control is helpful and will save you money in added job time costs.
     -City ordinances.  Commercial areas can generally be swept at any time of day, however residential areas must generally be swept during daytime hours, due to noise.
