C.1.1 Background: Melvern Lake and dam, is a flood control reservoir in Osage County KS, with a storage capacity of 363,000 acre-feet (an acre-foot = 325,000 gal.) Recreational development is extensive. Six parks and access areas, managed by or leased from the U.S.

Army Corps of Engineers, are conveniently located around the reservoir. Park areas at Melvern Lake offer a wide variety of recreation facilities including boat launching ramps, campground, a full-service marina, picnic areas, sand swimming beaches, multiple nature trails and a visitor center. Many routine maintenance items are contracted to the private sector.

Mowing, refuse collection and facility cleanup are just a few of the activities that are performed by private contractors for the Corps.

C.1.2 Scope of Work: The contractor shall provide all manpower, equipment, fuel, tools, supervision and other items and services necessary to provide Mowing and Trimming Services of public use areas at the Melvern Lake Project, near Melvern, Kansas as described in the attached performance work statement (PWS) and elsewhere in the contract.

C.1.3 Post-Award Conference: After award, but prior to commencement of work, the contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer’s Representative to arrange a mutually agreeable time to meet at the Melvern Project Office to review the requirements and details of the work.

C.1.5 Quality Control:

C.1.5.1 The contractor will develop a Quality Control Plan designed to demonstrate how the contractor will meet the needs of the project.

Complete records of all inspection work performed by the contractor must be maintained and made available to the government during contract performance.

Such disapproval will be given to the contractor by written notice and the Contracting Officer’s decision shall represent a final decision.

C.3 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED MATERIALS AND SUPPLIES: None

The Contractor shall assure that he has, or can obtain on short notice, sufficient backup equipment to continue the services a specified without interruption in the event of mechanical failure of his primary equipment.

C.4.1 Mowers shall be self-propelled, zero-turn, rotary type, capable of producing a smooth even cut, with a cutting height adjustable from 2 to 6 inches. Blades shall be sharpened and/or replaced often enough to assure a smooth grass cut. All mowers shall be constructed to distribute grass clipping evenly to prevent clumps or windrows.

C.4.2 Trimming equipment shall consist of power hand mowers, “weed eaters” or other type power trimmers, weed whips, and other equipment and tools as may be appropriate for the task.

C.5 Specific Tasks

C.5.1 All mowing and trimming shall be completed in an area prior to moving to another area.

Mowing shall be accomplished so that all turf areas are cut to a height between 3 and 5 inches, as directed by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer's representative. The Government reserves the right to designate the starting point (area or items to be mowed first) when ordering services under this contract. Many regular and miscellaneous mowing areas consist of rocky terrain and heavily wooded areas and will require an extensive amount of trimming and hand mowing where larger mowers cannot maneuver satisfactorily. Trimming shall include the removal of sprouts and heavily weeded growth. Prospective quoters are encouraged to visit and fully inspect all areas, accesses, locations, terrain, etc. prior to quoting. (see clause 52.237-1). Mowing and trimming operations around buildings and roadsides shall be performed so grass clippings are thrown away from buildings, sidewalks and away from the road whenever possible. There are several areas requiring service that remain wet for extended periods of time, especially during times of above average rainfall. There will be occasions when wet areas that are routinely mowed with a self-propelled machine will need to be trimmed by hand or even postponed until the next scheduled mowing in an effort, to eliminate rutting. At no time will turf damage resulting from poor judgment on the part of the Contractor, whereby he has tracked or rutted a wet area be permitted. If such an act occurs, the Contractor will be required to repair the damaged area to its original condition at his own expense. When wet conditions prohibit mowing in accordance with the mowing schedule and contract requirements, a modification to the schedule shall be coordinated with the Contracting Officer.
