Steps
Fetch chicago.gov/city/en/depts/cdot/supp_info/sidewalk_snow_removal.html for the current municipal requirement
Confirm snow falling between 7:00 am and 7:00 pm must be cleared by 10:00 pm the same day
Confirm snow falling between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am must be cleared by 10:00 am the next morning
Flag to the client that this differs from the simple 'clear within 24 hours' pattern used in cities like Saint Paul or St. Cloud
Build the contractor's route-scheduling logic around the specific 10pm/10am windows rather than a generic 24-hour SLA
Known gotchas
Applying a generic 24-hour rule (common in other cities) to a Chicago contract would misstate the actual deadline and could create a compliance/liability gap
The two windows are asymmetric in duration (up to 15 hours for daytime snow vs. up to 15 hours for nighttime snow measured differently) — read the exact city language rather than approximating
Confirm current code text directly on chicago.gov, since enforcement practices and code language can be updated between seasons
