a. Mowing Requirements: Cut and power mow grass to a height of not more than three and one-half (3-1/2) inches or less than two and one-half (2-1/2) inches in each area around each facility. Mowing shall be uniform with no uncut or uneven areas resulting from mowing, overlap, wheel rollover, etc. At the end of each mowing, there shall be no clumps or piles of mown grass. Mowing shall produce a finely mulched product. Mowing shall be conducted in such a manner so there is no wheel damage to the turf or any damage to concrete edges, signs, fences, or trees. Mowing shall not take place close enough to facilities to cause damage.

Mowing with heavy tractors will not be permitted when the ground is so wet or boggy that the mowing operations will cause wheel rutting. Mowing under these conditions shall be accomplished by use of smaller mowing equipment as mentioned above.

b. Trimming Requirements: Trim grass to a height of not more than three and one-half (3-1/2) inches or less than two and one-half (2-1/2) inches in the area around each facility.

Trimming shall be accomplished around all vertical objects such as against buildings, guard posts, fences, tables, trash receptacles, electrical pedestals, water fountains, hose bibs, cookers/grills, etc. Trimming shall be done at a minimum each time mowing is performed. The Technical Point of Contact may determine that area/facility trimming is required in conjunction with maintenance work and that mowing services are not required.

c. Grounds Cleaning: Grounds cleaning will be performed in conjunction with scheduled mowing services, in order to leave the mowing area with an overall neat and clean appearance. The grounds cleaning shall remove all obvious and noticeable trash and litter from the mowing limits which are designated as the mowing boundaries.

No work will take place when the soil is excessively wet or during a period of rain. Ground speed of equipment will be properly calibrated to prevent excessive bouncing of equipment, damage to the lawn area, and to assure adequate aeration results. Soil plugs will be left on the ground surface. All aeration tubes on equipment will be operational and checked periodically for operability during the aeration process. Damaged or non-functional tubes will be replaced as soon as problems are noted to prevent missed spots on lawn areas. Small walk behind equipment will be used around picnic tables, pads, trees and shrubs, driveway edges, etc.

ii. Lawn Fertilization: The Contractor will supply and apply a typical residential lawn fertilizer in the ratio and quantity recommended by the manufacturer to cover approximately 3.7 acres of fine lawn.

Within a 20 ft strip around all ditches, structures and water, the material shall be applied by using a hand spreader. This will keep all material off the buildings.

Efforts will be taken to ensure fertilizer does not come in contact with any body of water. Fertilizer will be applied when there is no dew or moisture on the turf to prevent burning of foliage. All work will be completed to the satisfaction of the Technical Point of Contact.

NOTE: The Project mowing areas are part of a flood control facility. As such, the amount of debris can vary greatly from one year to the next and can be severe due to prolonged inundations or storms.

Mowing shall be uniform with no uncut or uneven areas resulting from mowing, overlap, wheel rollover, etc. Mowing shall be conducted in such a manner so there is no wheel damage to the turf or any damage to concrete edges, signs, fences, or trees. Mowing will extend to the border of an area, whether that is a tree line, the water’s edge, or an embankment. Mowing shall not take place close enough to facilities to cause damage. Mowing with heavy tractors will not be permitted when the ground is so wet or boggy that the mowing operations will cause wheel rutting. Mowing under these conditions shall be accomplished by use of smaller mowing equipment as mentioned above. Any damage from mowing equipment to government property will be the responsibility of the contractor to repair. These areas are designated in light blue on the attached Informational Maps.
