Ice build up on all landing gear from inbound flight. Every work group I spoke to noted the lack of guidance on the issue. The initial reaction from the first rampers I spoke to was 'call Maintenance' but other people would have been fine with just using the PCA. On calling Maintenance control they noted how stations are very inconsistent on this issue. Dispatch noted the same. Since about half the ramps reaction was to have Maintenance handle it; we took that path to not have half the ramp uncomfortable with the action. Large delay to wait on Contract Maintenance. No further info.Provide consistent guidance and procedures for all work groups on deriving landing gear.
Air carrier airport operations crew is confused on who to contact for a landing gear contaminated with snow/ice.
