D. Roadside Mowing and Brushing –

Growth shall be cut as close to the ground surface as practical, normally not to exceed 6 inches high. Mow roadbed, cut-banks and fill-slopes to the full reach of the boom including the overhanging canopies. Mowing will include clearing around signs and appurtenances without damaging them.

All equipment proposed to be used for performance of the work shall be of the size, type, and in such condition to properly pursue the requirements of this contract.

Mower shall be either flat head or rotary cutter capable of cutting trees up to 4 inches diameter.

Rotary cutter shall be 5 feet diameter with two sets of blades (minimum).
