Part 2 Equipment & Service

1. Equipment

a. Condition of Equipment

All equipment used to perform work under this contract must be in good operating and mechanical condition and comply with EM 385-1-1, Army Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements. A regular schedule of preventive maintenance must be followed on all equipment as identified by equipment manufacturer. All vehicles utilized under this contract will be presentable, serviceable, and shall comply with safety standards.

b. Type of Equipment

i. Mowers shall be rotary type and equipped with suitable protective devices to prevent flying objects from injuring people or damaging property. Mowers must have slides or wheels, which will prevent tearing or plowing into the turf. The Contractor will be held responsible for re-turfing if equipment causes gouging or plowing. In areas where it is not possible to use a tractor-mounted mower the Contractor shall use small mowing equipment such as lawn and garden tractors; push mowers, weed eaters and other small power-mowing equipment, and/or manual mowing tools.

ii. String trimmers may be gasoline or electrically operated. The use of steel blades, steel cable or other type of cord that will cause damage to trees, shrubs, etc., will not be allowed in string trimmers. Powered string trimmers will not be used to trim around saplings that are less than three (3) inches diameter at 4-1/2 feet above ground level.

Trimming around said saplings shall be accomplished using hand-operated trimmers.

Contractor will be required to replace any saplings/trees/shrubs damaged by the Contractors operation.

iii. Blowers will be used to remove any debris from paved surfaces after trimming has been completed. Blowers may be gas or electrically operated, backpack, handheld or walk-behind models are acceptable and will be kept in good working order per manufacturer’s specifications.

c. Equipment Storage No Government space or facilities shall be provided under this contract.

2. Service Requirements The Contractor shall survey the park or area and report all damage or vandalism to the Technical Point of Contact prior to commencement of mowing in each area. Any damage found thereafter by the Government’s inspector that has not been previously reported by the Contractor shall be assumed to be damage caused by the Contract’s operation, and shall be repaired, replaced, or deducted from the invoice, as determined by the Technical Point of Contact, at no cost to the Government. The Contractor shall police the area to be mowed for any loose trash and dispose of it properly before it goes through the mower.

a. Mowing Requirements

Cut and power mow grass to a height of not more than three and one-half (3 ½) inches or less than two and one-half (2 ½) inches in each area around each facility.

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 shall not take place close enough to facilities to cause damage. Mowing with heavy tractors will not be permitted when the ground is too 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 ½”) inches or less than two and one-half (2 ½”) inches in the area around each facility. Trimming, edging shall be conducted in such a manner so there is no damage to the turf or any damage to concrete edges, signs, fences, or trees. Areas adjacent to facilities must be trimmed using other types of equipment such as string trimmers. Trimming shall be accomplished around all vertical objects such as against buildings, road gates, guard rails, fences, tables, trash receptacles, electrical pedestals, water fountains, hose bibs, cookers/grills, etc. Trimming shall be done each time mowing is performed. All work will be reviewed by the Technical Point of Contact.

c. Grounds Cleaning Grounds cleaning will be performed in conjunction with each mowing service, leaving the service area with an overall neat and clean appearance. The grounds cleaning shall remove all obvious and noticeable trash, litter and debris from the service limits which are designated as boundaries on the attached location maps.
