This is a landscape maintenance requirements document for the Freeport Regional Water Authority (FRWA) Intake site located at 7760 Freeport Boulevard in California, prepared in support of the Sacramento County Water Agency's comprehensive landscaping services solicitation. The contractor shall perform weekly maintenance activities across the 7760 Freeport Boulevard facility, including litter and pet waste removal in all mapped areas including the public levee. Site-specific requirements include maintenance of approximately 44,200 square feet of Fescue turf along the levee, which shall not be mowed but requires weekly edge trimming at roadway boundaries and four annual applications of 16-6-8 fertilizer at five pounds per 1,000 square feet. Additional maintenance obligations encompass the Poetry Wall planter area (4,150 square feet) with seasonal pruning of Aloe Striata and Yucca Whipplei after blooming, cleaning of seating areas, care of 16 decorative pot planters with Ginko trees and Mexican Feather Grass including December fertilizer applications of 16 ounces of Osmocote per pot, and weed control in a fenced gravel yard area totaling approximately 78,000 square feet after deducting buildings, basins, roads, tanks, substations, and parking facilities.
The document specifies that all weed control in the Fescue turf shall be performed manually through hand removal for weeds reaching four inches or greater in height, with chemical spraying prohibited for weeds exceeding this threshold. Weeds in other landscaped and paved areas shall be controlled in accordance with specified maintenance bid items. Pre-emergent spray treatments of gravel and rock areas are required at least twice annually. Safety requirements include mandatory wear of safety glasses during seasonal pruning work to prevent eye injury. The requirements are based on a revised version dated August 11, 2021, and support broader Water Agency operations across multiple site types throughout Sacramento County.
