Areas adjacent to facilities must be trimmed using other types of equipment such as string trimmers. Trimming shall be accomplished around all vertical objects such as against buildings, guard posts, fences, tables, trash receptacles, electrical outlets, water fountains, cookers, water risers, etc.

Edging and trimming shall be accomplished each time mowing is performed. Edging shall be accomplished with an edger, capable of making vertical cuts a minimum of one-half inch below adjacent concrete/impact material/wood levels along all walkways, impact areas, and curbs.

All grass, dirt, etc. caused by edging shall be removed from concrete slabs, sidewalks, etc., with a broom, air blowing, etc. All sidewalks, concrete pads and all sides of the delineation timbers within the mowing area shall be trimmed or edged. All sidewalks connecting mowed facilities, connected to a mowed facility or contiguous to a mowed facility, shall be edged or trimmed. No grass shall extend onto the sidewalk or concrete pad. Care shall be taken so that grass is not blown onto sidewalks, parking pads, picnic table pads or any other part of any facility. If grass is blown onto or into the facilities as a result of trimming, the grass shall be swept or blown off the facility. Care shall be exercised when trimming and edging around shrubbery and trees to avoid damage to the plants and trees. All trees, pedestals (water, electric and sewer), delineation, dump stations etc. within the area around the facilities, shall be trimmed on all sides, to meet the above specifications. All fences and fence posts included in the mowing specifications shall be trimmed. Trimming and edging may be accomplished with hand tools, edger or “weed eaters”. All trimming shall be completed in conjunction with the mowing service. If any of the mowed, trimmed, or edged area, i.e., campsite, picnic site, toilet, bathhouse, group shelter, entrance sign, water building, dumpster, water tower, etc. does not meet the above specifications, that area will be deemed "not done”. The Contractor will be required to perform trimming around buildings. All grass and turf areas shall not be trimmed lower than two (2) inches. Trees shall be trimmed in such a manner that no limbs or branches shall hang below eight (8) feet above ground level. After each mowing service, all trash, litter, debris, tree clippings, shrub clippings and grass clippings shall be removed from the facility and disposed of off Government property. All work shall be accomplished in a manner that will preserve and encourage the growth of grass. Chopping vegetation at or below ground level will not be permitted. The Contractor will be required to repair or replace any damaged saplings/trees/shrubs as described in this section. The Government reserves the right at any time to plant additional trees and/or shrubs in or around the facility, which will require trimming as described above at no additional charge to the Government. Trimming and edging shall be performed in accordance with the mowing schedule.

5.2.3 Vegetation in Riprap: The Contractor shall trim with small power equipment and/or hand tools all vegetation within the specified riprap. Vegetation shall be trimmed to the same height as the existing riprap and or totally removed, at the discretion of the Contractor, and without damage to or movement of the riprap. At the discretion and approval of the COR, herbicides may be applied to these to inhibit grass, weed and tree growth. If the Contractor chooses to apply herbicides to these areas, application of such herbicides may only be performed by a licensed applicator that meets all government regulations pertaining to herbicide application, at no extra cost to the government. The licensed applicator shall present a copy of their license and required material safety data sheets (MSDS) of all herbicides to be used to the COR before approval for application will be given.

All vegetation growing within the following specified rip-rap areas, where such is utilized, shall be trimmed back and/or removed at each mowing. The upstream edge of the riprap shall be trimmed for a distance of three (3) feet from the edge of the roadway for the entire length of the riprap. At the discretion and approval of the COR, herbicides may be applied to these to inhibit grass, weed and tree growth. If the Contractor chooses to apply herbicides to these areas, application of such herbicides may only be performed by a licensed applicator that meets all government regulations pertaining to herbicide application, at no extra cost to the government.
