Amesbury Winter 2025-2026 Snow Plowing Request for Contractors

The City of Amesbury is requesting contractors to assist with snow plowing and snow removal equipment.   Applications are available for pick up at 39 South Hunt Road, mailed upon request by calling 978-388-8116, or emailing sweeneymi@amesburyma.gov.  

Please be advised the focus of our winter operations over the last few years has been snow plowing; although it is New England and heavy snow producing winters still happen the need for actual snow removal and hauling equipment has become less frequent. We welcome interested parties to become city contractors for snow removal, please know the more common calls for available work are related to actual snow plowing.

Please be advised that changing staffing levels can mean that plowing assignments can change from past years.

Please be advised the current equipment pay rates will be increased 2% for the 2025-2026 season. As an incentive, contractors who get a completed application and all required documentation to the city (Amesbury DPW) by October 17, 2025, will be paid an additional thirty-five cents an hour to plow.

The City of Amesbury reserves the right to reject any application, waive any formalities in the application process or accept an application deemed to be in the best interest of the City.  The City is an Affirmative Action, Equal Opportunity Employer.
