July 2016 (Revised 15 SEP 2016)

1. The contractor shall furnish all plant, labor, equipment, and materials required to complete full removal of landscape materials as identified, and installation of all itemized trees, shrubs and plants. The contractor shall appropriately complete all prep work prior to installation and perform all work in strict accordance with plans, specifications, and terms of the contract. All measurements are estimates. It is recommended for contractor to verify and provide own quantities.

2. The work to be performed includes but is not limited to the following:

2.1 Landscape demolition to include removal of existing plant and mulching materials, weed barrier, edging, retaining block/concrete, and other foreign material from identified demolition areas. Demolition areas are to be fine graded and hydro-seeded according to the design plan.

2.2 Irrigation systems found in areas of demolition are to be cut, capped, and abandoned in place. Remove any sprinkler or bubbler heads. Notify the Contracting Officer when irrigation lines are discovered and capped.

2.3 Installation and tree removal to include all items specified on the design plan to include new vegetation, mulch, tree guying and guards. Exact trees for removal will be marked, and general locations are shown on the maps attached.

3. The contractor shall perform a pre-work inspection of the work area. Digging permits will be required at all sites, referenced in the drawing sheets, where landscaping is to be done. An individual digging permit will be required for each drawing sheet.

3.1 Digging Permit: AF Form 103, Base Civil Engineering Work Clearance Request, commonly referred to as a “Digging Permit”. The contractor shall initiate, prepare, and hand carry for signatures an AF Form 103, Work Clearance Request, 14-28 calendar days prior to any work (especially excavation) activities. Base Civil Engineering will assist the contractor by providing points of contact; however, the responsibility for executing and tracking status of the work clearance request and coordinating utility markings with the Base Civil Engineer shops and/or other utility companies is solely that of the contractor. The contractor shall compose and provide sketches/drawings/ and dimensioning details showing the specific location of the intended area of work (especially excavation) when requesting an AF 103.

The contractor shall physically stake, flag, or demarcate (in accordance with base civil engineer work clearance manager) to define the boundaries of all required utility locates at the location of proposed work. The contractor should allow 10-20 days for processing the work clearance request between the various activities that must coordinate on the request. The contractor shall submit to the CO and provide the Construction Representative with a copy of the completed AF Form 103 with all attached record utility drawings, and shall comply with all instructions for hand excavation and other methods of safeguarding the buried utilities prior to on-site work. The contractor shall take caution within the area 3 feet to either side of a utility pre-identified to the contractor. If the contractor damages any utility within this six-foot boundary, the contractor is responsible for restoring the utility to its original working condition. Work to repair the damaged utility will commence immediately and will continue uninterrupted until the utility is restored. If the contractor damages a utility that was not identified or is not within the 6-foot boundary of the utility marking, the contractor shall notify the CO and Construction Representative to determine the method of repair (i.e., in-house or by contract). If the damaged utility requires repair by an outside source or someone not in the contractor’s employ (e.g., someone to repair specialty lines) and the contractor is responsible for the damage; the contractor shall coordinate and schedule such persons making the repairs and shall furnish prompt payment for the work to such persons.

4. The work is to be completed within 120 days. The landscaping material removed from landscaping areas becomes the property of the contractor for disposal or other use.

4.1 Winter exclusion will be 15 October 2016 through 15 April 2017.

5. The location and general design is shown in the spreadsheet attachments.
