Snow Removal Contract Price Increases in Massachusetts: Escalators, CPI & Wage Pass-Throughs

Snow Removal contractors in Massachusetts face rising salt, fuel and equipment. Most commercial agreements include some form of seasonal renewal increases and material surcharges. When those increases don't reach the invoice, the loss compounds every month.

What to check in Massachusetts

• Changes to the state or local minimum wage, and the dates they take effect, against any wage pass-through clause.
• The right BLS CPI series: a regional series for Massachusetts's metro areas, or the U.S. City Average, whichever the contract names.
• Notice delivery requirements in your contracts (certified mail, email, portal).
