Work description

DETAILED STATEMENT OF TEMPORARY NEED 2026-2027 Dates of Need for H-2B SNOW REMOVAL WORKER will be 11/15/2026 to 4/15/2027 MARKS PRO SERVICES, LLC is a family owned and operated Landscape Contractor which provides total landscape solutions for both commercial and residential clients. MARKS PRO SERVICES, LLC provides services including any combination of laying sod, mowing lawns, trimming bushes, planting, and similar tasks. We also perform full service snow removal . This is seasonal outdoor work which is generally performed from fall through subsequent spring. Additionally , we provide snow plowing and snow removal services in the colder months. We have been in business since 2015 and our date of need for H-2B workers is the regularly recurring annual business cycle customary to the landscaping industry in our geographic area. Temporary Need To assist in the determination of whether our companys need is consistent with USCIS definition of temporary need, we are including the following information: Work Duties will be consistent with those stated on the USDOL ETA Form 9142B and the USCIS I 129 Petition for Nonimmigrant Worker. These duties are evidenced in our 2026-2027 contracts. Duties requested workers would be performing are consistent with those described in the US Department of Labor ETA Form 9141 Prevailing Wage Determination SOC 37-3011 for Snow Removal Workers. Based on the careful analysis described later in this document, our need for 2 temporary H-2B workers is fully supported by our companys projected workload for the 2026-2027 season, and our workload analysis substantiates the need for the requested workers throughout the entire period of proposed employment, i.e., at stated hourly wage and number of hours each week. Operations Our typical schedule of operations each year begins with cleaning up and removing debris from job sites. Then, perennial plant cutbacks and irrigation winterization in preparation for the cold weather and snow/ice. Workers will then pretreat surfaces with salt, cinders, sand, and other pavement treatments in anticipation of upcoming snow and ice events. Next, workers begin loading trucks with needed products and equipment, including ice-melt products and snow removal equipment. In order for our company to meet its contractual demands, we need to supplement our workforce during this demand. Tasks include snow removal by hand shoveling, snow removal by power-driven devices, snow plowing, salt spreading by hand. In other words, tasks will include pushing, shoveling, moving, and cleaning snow and ice from sidewalks, driveways, building entrances, and parking lots. Workers will apply sand and salt to concrete. Workers will also clean up and load debris and refuse onto trucks and haul it away for disposal, and clean and perform routine maintenance and/or minor repairs on equipment and tools when not in use to ensure proper functioning. This work begins in mid NOVEMBER and continues on an ongoing basis throughout the winter through early spring months. In order for our company to meet its contractual demands, we need to supplement our workforce during this demand. When the summer comes bringing warmer weather, we no longer require the H-2B workers and our permanent workforce is able to manage the drastically reduced customer demand. Seasonal Need Our temporary seasonal need for H-2B workers is based upon our company experiencing a seasonal need throughout the period of proposed employment. The below weather-related information demonstrates the fact that our ability to provide most snow removal services is weather dependent and tied to the non-winter seasons of the year. While we regularly employ permanent workers who perform the requested labor at our place of employment, based on customer demand and the lack of available local legal workers, we must supplement our permanent staff to meet the seasonal demand we will experience in the coming season.
