Snow Removal Worker

Work description

Please see the attached full Statement of Temporary Need as it exceeds the character limit of this section. **Introduction:** Acacia Facility Services LLC is located in Coatesville, PA. The report to worksite (Coatesville, Chester County, PA) is located in the Northeast Region of the United States (Source: NOAA NCEI, U.S. Climate Regions, https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/reference-maps/us-climate-regions). The Northeast Region has four well-defined seasons with warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters. Autumn is famous for vibrant foliage, while spring brings mild weather and rain. The region experiences nor'easters, blizzards, hurricanes, and occasional heatwaves. Acacia Facility Services LLC has a temporary seasonal need for 3 workers from January 1, 2027 through March 31, 2027. **Job Description:** The duties workers will be performing at the place of employment during the requested dates of need include the following: Remove snow and ice from properties using pickup trucks equipped with snowplows, skid steers, loaders, snow blowers, shovels, and other snow removal equipment. Spread salt, sand, and de-icing materials and maintain safe winter conditions at customer properties & other related Snow Removal Worker activities as per SOC/OES 47-4051 (onetonline.org). **Temporary Need Justification:** Acacia Facility Services LLC has a seasonal need for Snow Removal Workers tied directly to the winter weather pattern of Coatesville, Chester County, Pennsylvania. This region experiences four well-defined seasons, including cold, snowy winters marked by nor'easters, blizzards, and recurring accumulating snow and ice events. The company's need for snow removal workers arises only during the cold-weather months, when snowfall and freezing conditions create demand for snow and ice management at customer properties, and it does not arise during the warm, humid summer or the milder spring and autumn months when measurable snow does not accumulate. During November through March, the workers remove snow and ice from customer properties using pickup trucks equipped with snowplows, skid steers, loaders, snow blowers, and shovels, and they spread salt, sand, and de-icing materials to maintain safe winter conditions. These duties can only be performed when snow and ice are present, which in this area is concentrated in the heart of winter. November through March consistently represents the period of coldest temperatures and the most frequent accumulating snow and ice events in the region, making it the portion of the winter season for which the company is certifying this need. Outside of this window, as temperatures warm through spring and into summer, snow and ice no longer accumulate, the described duties cannot be performed, and the employer's need for these workers ceases until the following winter season. **Worker Justification:** This is a first-time application submitted by Acacia Facility Services. The attached sampling of signed 2026/2027 contracts demonstrates a bona fide need for labor to complete the contracted work during the 2026/2027 snow removal season. The total volume of contracted work significantly exceeds the capacity of Acacia Facility Services workforce, creating a clear need for additional temporary workers. Attached is a sampling of the 30+ snow removal contracts acquired for the 2026/2027 snow removal season. As you can see on the Lincoln Financial Field Football stadium, this contract alone requires a dedicated staff of 11 snow removal workers. Also attached is a contract for the Glovis Pier parking areas which encompasses over 300 acres of parking that must be plowed and maintained. The request for 3 snow removal workers reflects Acacia Facility Services analysis of historical invoicing, established crew sizes, client expectations, size of client projects, and the volume of work required to fulfill 2026/2027 contractual obligations.
