Attachment 19.xlsx

This is a grounds maintenance standards and task frequency schedule for DoDEA facilities in the Pacific South District. The document outlines comprehensive facility grounds maintenance requirements across multiple service categories, including grass care, fencing, sweeping, plant bed maintenance, tree maintenance, storm cleanup, grounds raking, shrub maintenance, sports field maintenance, and running track maintenance. Each task specifies required frequency (as needed, weekly, every two weeks, monthly, or annually), with detailed performance standards and safety requirements referenced to PWS Section 2.3.

Grass care maintenance requires mowing to maintain heights between two to four inches on improved grounds with clipping removal, fertilization, aeration, and trimming around obstacles performed as needed. Weed abatement must occur at least every two weeks, with contractors required to hold necessary certifications for herbicide application. Plant bed maintenance includes removal of grass and weeds with four to six-inch-deep edge cuts, pruning up to twice annually, and mulch maintenance. Tree maintenance encompasses trimming dead or diseased branches up to ten feet above ground level, pruning twice yearly, palm tree trimming using local best practices, and removal of diseased trees creating safety hazards. Sports field maintenance includes artificial turf combing every 40 hours of use with monthly pellet redistribution, natural grass field heights of four to eight centimeters with irrigation and aeration as needed, and track maintenance requiring quarterly washing, standing water removal within 48 hours, and lane re-marking. All work requires contractor coordination with the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and Facilities Operations Supervisor for inspections, deficiency reporting, and authorization of additional work orders.
