PM signed awful snow contract
Hey all, I want to ask if you would sign this contract.
PM has a snow vendor who comes out to shovel if it snows more than 2". They charge us $250 per "push". Since we have 2 buildings (right next to each) the total is $500. So far this winter they've been "deployed" 3 times. Is this a fair price for snow removal? They don't cover parking spaces. Also, if you're familiar with Chicago, it's your standard 6-unit building, so imagine the sidewalk surrounding it.
As if you needed more reason, the PM doesn't even verify they do the work. They just pay the invoices. We have had tenants shoveling snow the snow all along.
What are some of your thoughts?

@Jordan Laney Asking what others pay for snow removal and comparing your yearly spend to past years is not productive. Weather differs depending on where properties are located and even snow accumulation within the same geographic area will vary year to year. Slip and falls are a leading liability concern a property owner should be aware of and snow removal is not something to cheap out on.
