Quarters A / VPR - Site Specific Work

Quarters A is the 12-acre fence line of the Vice President’s Residence (VPR) Grounds. It is site specific due to a staff of Residence Civil Service Gardeners providing primary grounds maintenance effort.

In general, this SOW includes a turf program (fertilizing, over seeding, aeration, undesirable vegetation control), hedge maintenance, tree maintenance, pest management, and mulching.

1. VPR Grounds:

Mowing and trimming

Not required.

Edging

Not required.

Beds

Any work required amongst the VPR Grounds beds will be identified and accomplished through a separate non-recurring work task order.

Hedges

The few hedges surrounding the former greenhouse plot of land are the only trimming requirements for hedges. The Leyland hedges are 85 feet in length and approximately 24 feet in height. It will require specialized equipment and a lift truck. The holly hedges are approximately 100 feet in length each; there are three of them making 300 lineal feet in total. The height of the holly hedges ranges between 10 and

15 feet.

Tree Maintenance / Pest Management

All tree work with be completed under the supervision of an ISA certified Arborist. Tree work includes fertilization, pruning, and pest control.

Tree pruning will be performed in accordance with Prestige Area – COL 1 maintenance standards.

Structural pruning will be performed and includes removal of crossing branches, or those not consistent with standard form, general thinning for good light penetration and air circulation, elevation of lower branches to achieve consistency between the trees and to maintain safe passage of pedestrians and vehicles. Removal of dead branches will be done where it can be identified; however, this is often not detectible in the dormant season. All pruning cuts shall be made to the lateral branches, buds, or flush with the trunk. Stubbing will not be permitted. All debris will be removed from the site. Throughout the growing season, pruning of suckers, water sprouts and low‐hanging branches will be performed during regular visits. Pruning dead branches from trees during the growing season is not included in the scope of this contract. This is an unpredictable task and is considered a rejuvenate service. This service can be provided at an additional cost. The contractor shall brace, cable, or guy to keep trees in vertical position.

The contractor shall adjust wires, cables, and straps as required. Remove all guy wires, cables, straps, and stakes, when roots are established and trees remain vertical. All clippings and trimmings shall be removed.

The program must include pest-breeding deterrents. This is primarily focused on pests that will negatively affect an event on the grounds. Most commonly, this refers to mosquitos and gnats. The intent of the program is to keep the grounds hospitable to holding events, while not hindering the growth and development of necessary plants and insects. This information is also included in the Turf Program section of this SOW because the programs overlap and it is expected the IPM program will be an all-encompassing approach to pest and turf management.

Below is a sample tree maintenance program that may require slight adjustment over the years, but has proven to be effective. If additional services are required as part of that adjustment it would be made on a Task Order basis.

March visit:

Apply foliar spray to Pin Oaks and evergreens using Horticultural Oil to help suppress overwintering insects and mites.

Include insect and disease sampling and soil analysis diagnostic reports as part of the program.

The trees that will be treated for Bleeding Canker are as follows:

o 8,13,15,20,34,104,108,109,111,112,113,114,124, 125, 142, 154, 170, 183, 195, 200 and

208.

Inspect for Bacterial Leaf Scorch for treatment in the following year.

Soil Management:

In early March, subsurface fertilize trees and shrubs with Mycorrhizae augment.

Perform soil analysis in three (3) locations throughout the grounds and provide results to Facilities

Office.

Tree and stump removals will be identified and accomplished through a separate IDIQ task order.

Turf Program

The VPR Grounds turf program is inclusive of fertilizer, herbicides and pesticides to complete a year round program managed to follow the base Pest Management Plan.

The program must include pest-breeding deterrents. This is primarily focused on pests that will negatively affect an event on the grounds. Most commonly, this refers to mosquitos and gnats. The intent of the program is to keep the grounds hospitable to holding events, while not hindering the growth and development of necessary plants and insects. This information is also included in the Pest

Management section of this SOW because the programs overlap and it is expected the IPM program will be an all-encompassing approach to pest and turf management.

Sample program that has proven affective at the VPR Grounds and should be followed unless otherwise directed:

Pre-Emergent control for crabgrass with 0-0-7 fertilizer @ .21% active ingredient, applied Mid-

April

Post Emergent control using Confront for broadleaf, chickweed, clover, wild violet etc., applied

Mid-April

Post Emergent control using Confront or Momentum for broadleaf, clover, wild violet, ground ivy, speedwell etc., applied Mid May

Pre-Emergent control for crabgrass with 0-0-7 fertilizer @ .21% active ingredient, applied Mid-

June

Merit with 14-0-14 fertilizer applied in early June for preventative grub and insect control

Post Emergent control using Drive or Tenacity for broadleaf, crabgrass and early nutsedge, applied Mid-June

Six fungicide application using Chipco 26019, Banner Maxx, and Disarm for brown patch, summer patch, leaf spot, dollar spot control beginning around Memorial Day and continuing thru Labor Day. Fungicide applications are every 14-21 days and will be applied at high label rate. 6 acres of property will be treated.

Core Aeration Using John Deere Aercore 2000 or like equipment

Seeding 4 - 6 lbs. per 1000 sq. ft.

Core pulverization

Fertilization with 20-0-5 30% methylene urea and Iron in September (analysis may vary)

Fertilization with 18-0-18 with 50% slow release in early mid-November (analysis may vary)

SedgeHammer, confront Tenacity or Drive used during summer months to spot treat for nimblewill, nutsedge, crabgrass etc.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

The contractor shall be responsible for the detection, monitoring and control of plant damaging insects.

The contractor shall be aware of the potential pests and shall make regular inspections of the plant material and treat as necessary. These principles will be practiced under an Integrated Pest Management

(IPM) program. Our goal in implementing an IPM program is to maintain insect and disease problems at acceptable levels. This benefits the client by insuring more frequent inspections by on‐site personnel and a safer environment through the use of less pesticide. Pesticides will be applied under the supervision of a certified applicator. Spraying operations will cover all material up to a height of 25 feet. Trees exceeding this height can be serviced under a separate agreement. Dormant oil shall be applied in early

March to all plants susceptible to over‐wintering insects, to include needled Evergreens, Junipers, Euonymus, Hollies, Cherries, Oaks and Maples. Applications of pesticide shall not be done as calendar scheduled or general cover sprays.

Pesticides shall only be applied as needed, when pests are detected through regular inspections. There are several species of insects, i.e., scale, pine bark beetle, Japanese beetle, mites and borers that require an extensive control program. It may take several seasons to achieve control. Disease of ornamental plant material will be treated on a curative basis as needed. Wildlife such as deer, geese and ducks may cause damage to plant material and turf in certain landscapes. Application of repellents can be performed at an additional charge.

Mulching

The contractor will provide and place in locations within the VPR Grounds as directed:

150 CY of mulch, double shredded

50 CY of pine fines

50 CY of Leafgro or other compost material

This delivery will occur in the spring, likely in March or April.

Misc.

- All landscape should be under a replacement warranty for the duration of the contract if it is decided that the plant was not ruined by neglect.

- Flexibility in scheduled or unscheduled maintenance. Due to the principals’ and event schedules, regular scheduled maintenance visits may need to be scheduled or rescheduled on very short notice. In order for the employees to gain access, they must provide the United States Secret Service, through the Facilities Office, their full name, date of birth, and social security number. Protection of personally identifiable information will be on a strict need to know basis, but is part of the access requirement.
