a. Depth of Application:

Pine straw should be applied at a uniform depth of 2 to 3.5 inches. This depth is measured after the pine straw has settled.

For areas with existing mulch or previous pine straw layers, ensure the total depth does not exceed 4 inches to avoid suffocating plant roots.

b. Coverage:

Pine straw bales typically cover approximately 25 to 30 square feet at a depth of 2 to 3 inches.

Ensure that the pine straw is evenly distributed across the designated area, with no bare spots or overly thick layers.

c. Application Technique:

Spread pine straw evenly by hand, ensuring consistent coverage around plants and other landscaping features.

Tuck the edges of the pine straw along the borders of beds and walkways to create a clean, defined edge.

Designated Areas to be Serviced at Lakepoint State Park, consistent with attached Exhibit A:

Welcome Center, Park Entrance, Upper Cabins, Lower Cabins, Lakeside Cottages, Lodge, Marina, and 3rd Street Boulevard.

2. PRESSURE AND SOFT WASHING:

a. Technique:

Sidewalks and Parking Lots: Use a pressure setting of 2,000 to 3,500 PSI to remove dirt, grime, oil stains, and other contaminants from concrete surfaces.

Building Exteriors (Durable Surfaces): Use a pressure setting of 1,500 to 2,500 PSI for brick, stone, and other durable building materials. Ensure a lower pressure for painted surfaces to avoid damage.

Maintain a consistent distance of 12 to 18 inches from the surface being cleaned to prevent etching or damage.

Use overlapping strokes to ensure even cleaning without streaks or missed spots.

Pay special attention to drainage to prevent the pooling of water that could cause slips or erosion.

b. Cleaning Agents:

Use biodegradable detergents specifically designed for pressure washing. Avoid harsh chemicals that can harm the environment or damage surfaces.

Pre-treat areas with heavy oil or grease stains using an appropriate degreaser before pressure washing.

c. Park Areas:

Welcome Center, Upper Cabins, Lower Cabin, Lodge, Lakeside Cottages, ORV Building, Campground Building, Pool Deck/Restroom building, Boat Launch Restroom, Day-Use Restrooms, and Marina.

3. STATE-WIDE SERVICES:

If a Contractor can provide service in multiple locations and/or statewide, please document the areas for which you can provide services. If and when needed in other areas, the ADCNR representative will contact the Contractor(s) and request a quote to perform said services. See Exhibit B for locations of Alabama State Parks as examples.

Contractor(s) Work Must Enable and Support the Objectives Below:

WELCOME CENTER & ENTRANCE

During the growing season, mowing will be done weekly. Weeding and spraying the beds, removing limb debris, removing litter, string trim work, and blowing all hardscape areas will be done weekly. The entrance sign has landscaping under it and the bed edge will need to be soft-edged every other week. All hard edging will be done every other week. We are going for a pasture look with the field on the right. However, we would like to keep a mowed edge. The HWY 431 is mowed just behind the Bradford Pear Trees and the Old HWY 165 is mowed about twenty (20’) feet from the edge of the street. The parking lot should be clear of all weeds and crack-grass.

During the off-season mowing/leaf removal will be done every other week as well as hard and soft edging, and string trimming. Weeding and spraying the beds, removing limb debris, removing litter, and blowing all hardscape areas will be done weekly.
