C.1.2 Weather

Fort Stewart is located in the humid subtropics with long hot summers and mild winters. Summer temperature average 81 degrees in July and winter average

50 degrees in January. Summer high temperatures of 106 degrees and winter temperatures usually rise above freezing during the afternoon. The first frost usually occurs in November and continues through February to the beginning of

March. The average annual rainfall is 50 inches with slightly over half occurring between June and September. Under normal circumstances wind speed rarely exceeds 10 knots. The hurricane and tropical storm season occurs during June through November.

C.2.1 Contractor Project Manager

The Contractor shall have a minimum of three (3) years of experience in memorial maintenance services or cemetery grounds maintenance. The

Contractor shall provide a full‐time Project Manager who shall also have a minimum of three (3) years of experience in the supervision of personnel providing memorial maintenance services or cemetery grounds maintenance.

The Project Manager shall be responsible for the overall management, coordination, and performance of work under this contract. The Project

Manager, and their alternate(s) during Project Manager’s absence, shall have full authority to act in behalf of the Contractor. The Project Manager shall be fully qualified in landscape management and coordination of the contract requirements. The names of all contractor personnel employed at Fort Stewart, GA, shall be furnished in writing to the Contracting Officer for approval as well as any subsequent changes made during the life of the contract.

C.2.2 Contractor Personnel.

Each employee of the contractor shall be fully clothed in conventional dress while on duty. Clothing shall be kept reasonably clean and neat in appearance.

No contractor employee or representative shall wear the uniform or a distinctive part thereof or anything similar to a distinctive part of the uniform of any of the armed forces of the United States, the Public Health Service, or any auxiliary of such while on Fort Stewart, GA. Furthermore, no employee or representative of the contractor shall wear any article of clothing, or display any sticker, sign, or other article on his person or vehicle which is likely to incite violence, advocate illegal conduct, is fascist, promotes sexual harassment, denigrates the United States or any agency thereof, or is profane or obscene in nature.

C.2.3 Quality Control

The contractor shall establish a complete quality control program to assure the requirements of the contract are provided as specified. One copy of the contractor’s quality control program shall be provided to the Contracting

Officer for approval within 5 days after commencement of contract. An updated copy must be provided to the Contracting Officer as changes occur. All services stated in the performance work summary (PWS) shall be addressed in the Quality Control Plan, specifically the methods of identifying deficiencies in red bud trees and tree rings. The program will also include a method for testing the soil and establishing a fertilization schedule to deter unwanted weed and/or insect infestation. The COR or another authorized QAE will do random inspections and any deficiencies noted must be corrected with 24 hours.

C.2.4 Work Hours

Normal work hours are 7:30 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. Contractor may be required to work after normal duty hours if there are any unforeseeable delays or unanticipated special events.

C.2.5 Safety

All contractor work operations, equipment and personnel shall be in accordance with all applicable safety provisions as outlined in the US Army

Corps of Engineers Safety and Health Requirements Manual (EM 385‐1‐1, 3 Nov

2003) and/or OSHA Standards for General Industry, Part 1910. A copy of these manuals may be reviewed at DPW, Contract Management Branch, Building

1178, Fort Stewart, Georgia. All safety regulations shall be followed completely.

C.3.1 Total Grounds Maintenance

The contractor shall furnish all labor, equipment, supervision, materials and transportation to perform grounds maintenance at the Warrior’s Walk memorial, Fort Stewart, GA. The highly visible area at Fort Stewart consists of approximately 4.0 acres located between Gulick Ave to the west, 6th Street to the south, Bundy to the east and bordering the Golf Course to the north, excluding Cottrell Field and the Quick Track areas. Warrior’s Walk is a highly traveled and visited memorial, consisting of more than 460 Eastern Red Bud trees planted in the center of an approximately 5’ mulched tree bed, with each tree signifying one soldier’s life given in battle. Warrior’s Walk is a memorial area with an intense emotional attachment for the Fort Stewart Soldiers, Family

Members, and Garrison Staff. All work performed at this site will be inspected closely and highly scrutinized due to the sensitive nature and public exposure associated with this Memorial.

C.3.1.1 Each grounds maintenance cycle shall consist of mowing, trimming, edging, sweeping, raking, tree pruning, irrigation and flowerbed maintenance throughout the Warrior’s Walk memorial area. Trees that are leaning shall be uprighted and staked for support. Other areas to be addressed independently using a separate CLIN will be policing, eastern redbud tree replacements, applying turf fertilizer, applying tree fertilizer, replacing mulch in eastern redbud tree beds, replacing polyethylene (plastic) tree ring edging, and pesticide control applications.

C.3.1.2 The government anticipates ordering two grounds maintenance cycles each week from 01 March to 31 October and once weekly from 01 November to 28

February. These quantities are estimates and are subject to change based on the immediate requirements at that time.

C.3.1.3 The actual number of cycles to be ordered will be predicated on monthly task orders issued by the Contracting Officer. Each cycle shall consist of completing tasks 3.3.1 through 3.3.5 below once concurrently throughout Warrior’s Walk.

The contractor shall schedule his or her own work for each delivery order immediately upon receipt of each delivery order. The schedule shall divide the period covered in the task order by the number of cycles requested and evenly distribute schedule starting and ending dates of each cycle to insure a uniform distribution of services. The contractor shall furnish a copy of each monthly schedule to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) prior to beginning scheduled maintenance. The contractor shall strictly adhere to the schedule;

varying only in those instances of unforeseeable delay (an unforeseeable delay is defined as that instance where the Government causes delay, contractor operations are delayed by inclement weather or the performance of work may cause injury or damage to persons or property). All other variations in the contractor’s schedule shall not be acceptable unless submitted in writing and approved by the Contracting Officer prior to the performance of the variation.

Any authorized variation in the schedule shall be reported to the COR within two working hours from the time the variation is effected. The authorized representative of the contractor shall provide a written report to the COR no later than 0930 of the following workday of any damaged red bud trees or tree rings. The authorized representative of the contractor shall also provide a written report to the COR on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. This report shall depict the completed mowing areas and completed trimming areas, areas where work could not be performed and reason why the work could not be performed, delays encountered, deficiencies noted and deficiencies corrected, safety inspections on equipment, safety meetings conducted, names, locations, and phone numbers of persons who have prevented you from the performance of your work.

C.3.1.4 This area demands meticulous attention. All operations shall be performed concurrently and completely before proceeding to the next area. No tractors, batwings, bush hogs, flail mowers or heavy equipment will be allowed in this highly visible area. All motorized vehicles will refrain from riding on or crossing sidewalks when possible. Therefore, vehicle tire tracks, rutting, scalping, streaking or any other equipment malfunctions will not be tolerated. Cycles will be completed as quickly as possible. Work should be scheduled during off peak time periods (EXAMPLE: not immediately before a Veteran’s Day celebration or change of command ceremony at Cottrell Field or during a monthly tree dedication ceremony, etc), possibly early morning or late afternoon during normal weekdays.

C.3.1.5 Due to the sensitive nature of the memorial area, contractor delays as a result of ceremonies, dedications, visits by family members, friends or distinguished visitors are common. Some of these delays are unpredictable and will not be considered as an excuse for the contractor’s work progress. When these events are being staged or in progress, the contractor and staff will remain at a reasonable distance from the event and refrain from using any noise producing or potentially dangerous equipment that may disrupt the solemn occasion until well after the attending persons have vacated the area.

C.3.2 Daily Tasks

C.3.2.1 The contractor shall police the area each weekday, excluding federal holidays, removing of all trash, limbs, sticks, and other manmade or organic debris in the area. Any personal mementos that become disheveled due to high winds or inclement weather will be returned to its place of origin. If any paraphernalia appears inappropriate or non serviceable, it shall be removed. The contractor shall perform monthly inspections of each eastern redbud tree and provide a written report on the overall health of each tree. Contractor shall perform a monthly inspection of the grassed turf and provide a written report on the overall health of grassed areas. Inspections should consist of physically viewing each tree and grassed areas for signs of insects, fungus and/or disease or other indicators that may cause retarded growth or threaten the overall health. In the event of such problems, the contractor will identify the deficiency by giving an exact location and detailed summary and submit a recommended solution to the COR within 24 hours after the initial discovery. If any tree is found to possess dead, damaged or diseased extremities, these portions will be pruned and/or treated immediately. The contractor shall inspect all tree rings, insuring they are undamaged, attached and provide a circular appearance and shall repair any of these deficiencies that may exist. Contractor shall notify COR if tree ring is no longer serviceable. The contractor shall immediately replant and stake any trees that have been uprooted as a result of inclement weather or other adverse conditions. Trees that are leaning shall be returned to an upright position and staked. Contractor will also report any other obvious deficiencies in the memorial area to the COR for his/her actions within two hours of discovery.

C.3.3 Grounds Maintenance

C.3.3.1 Mow and Trim

During the course of each cycle, the contractor shall mow and trim all grassed areas bordered by 6th Street on the southern side, Bundy Ave on the eastern side, Gulick Ave on the western side, and the interior sections adjacent to

Cottrell Field and Quick Track, running parallel to 6th St and the end adjacent to the Golf Course measuring 25 feet from the outer edge of the sidewalks.

(Cottrell Field and Quick Track are not included.) The contractor may use a zero turn rotary mower not wider than 72 inches. Mower deck heights shall be set to evenly mow at a finished height of between 1‐1/2” to 2”. The government reserves the right to adjust the mowing heights. Mower blades will be sharp at all times to provide a quality cut. In any area that is not mower accessible, such as but not limited to flowerbed ring areas, under temporary bleachers, light assemblies, granite markers, next to obstacles, etc., must be trimmed using string trimmers or similar methods to assure a manicured, uniformed appearance with other mowed grass. Trimming height shall match surrounding area grass heights. All light lens covers will be free of grass clippings and other debris. Any damage caused to government property including but not limited to structures, vehicles, irrigation systems, plants, trees or shrubs, etc, as a result of the contractor’s personnel or equipment shall be repaired by the contractor at the contractor’s expense within 3 working days. All plants, shrubs and trees shall be trimmed in accordance with the University of Georgia County Extension

Service guidance. Any damage to trees from trimming shall be repaired by the contractor. All grounds shall present an immaculate, neat, even and well groomed appearance after work has been accomplished.

C.3.3.2 Edging

Edging must be performed using a metal bladed rotary edger. All sidewalks, driveways, curbs, parking lots and other concrete or asphalt edges shall be edged each cycle. Edging will result in a ¼” X 2” groove running parallel to edged surface. Edging shall include removal of vegetation from cracks and voids in sidewalks, driveways, to a depth of 2 inches. Turf around sprinkler heads will be trimmed so as to not interfere with or impede water output.

C.3.3.3

Raking and Sweeping

After the mowing, trimming and edging operation has been completed, the contractor must remove all windrows in the grassed areas and blow or sweep all hard surfaced areas (concrete, asphalt) immediately, removing all clippings, leaves, pine straw and other organic debris from these areas. Contractor will not sweep, blow or otherwise dispose of clippings in any sewers or storm water drains. All storm sewer grates will be cleared of trash, leaves and other debris.

All trash and debris removed from Warrior’s Walk shall be disposed of in an approved landfill conforming to all state and federal guidelines.

C.3.3.4 Tree Bed Maintenance

Tree beds will be 100% free of all grass and weeds at all times. Contractor shall remove all grass clippings, leaves, debris and other organic matter that may be present. All mulch will remain level, exhibiting a smooth uniform appearance, covering all fabric and/or soil within the tree bed. During the first mowing cycle each month, the contractor shall prune trees to maintain their natural shape.

Trees must be pruned periodically to maintain the natural shape and size and to remove any dead or decaying branches.

C.3.3.5 Irrigation

The contractor must set timers and controllers and adjust water devices to underground irrigation systems located at Warrior’s Walk. The contractor will be responsible for insuring the grass and trees receive ample amounts of moisture, compensating for rainfall, without over watering. Irrigation timers will be set to operate only during non‐peak hours, primarily during the nights.

The contractor shall inspect and test rain shut‐off devices and other components and zones in the irrigation system monthly and shall reset zone times according to seasonal evapotranspiration changes. (DPW maintenance contractor has access to the timer box but will only make changes to the timing schedule for emergency purposes.) Once a year, the contractor will recalibrate each zone to allow for the application of ½ inch ‐ ¾ inch of water per irrigation cycle. During weekly inspections, the contractor will note and report to COR any symptoms of inadequate or excessive irrigation, drainage problems, etc.

The Government will be responsible for repair of the irrigation system.

C.3.4 Redbud Tree Replacement

The contractor shall purchase a tree of the same species, comparable size and shape and install per the University of Georgia County Extension Service guidelines. Tree size selections shall be IAW contract line items depending on the size and maturity of the tree to be replaced. The task order will be the final determination of the tree size selected for each application. Old trees shall be removed and new trees planted within two working days of delivery. The tree bed fabric and mulch as well as any personal items contained within the tree beds will be replaced to its original configuration. The contractor shall perform all preventative maintenance required to guarantee tree to be healthy, giving it every opportunity to survive.

C.3.5 Apply Fertilizer/Weed Deterrent/ Pest Control to Grass

The contractor shall combine a minimum of three soil samples from different areas of Warrior’s Walk. The contractor must deliver this combined soil sample to a local County Extension Service office for analysis. Once the results are returned to the contractor with the County Extension Service’s recommendation for fertilization, the contractor will submit his recommendation (brand name, fertilizer type and rate of application as well as schedule), with any additional amendments that would be required for weed and pest control, to the COR for his/her approval. Upon approval from the COR the contractor shall apply chemicals, adhering to the previously agreement without variance, while following the manufacturer’s specifications for water application, preferred ambient temperature range and safety precautions, etc.

All chemical applications will be performed at an off peak time, as not to disrupt any visitors to the Memorial area.

C.3.6 Replacement of Mulch

Mulch shall be removed and replaced periodically as ordered by the COR.

Mulch shall be a high quality Cypress product. It will be similar or identical to existing mulch. Weed block shall be a 15 year product made by a reputable manufacturer, capable of deterring most nuisance weeds and unwanted vegetation. Manufacture’s specifications and warranty information will be provided to the COR upon request. The contractor must remove all existing mulch and other debris from plant beds, as well as any personal belongings that may be present. Beds will be raked and leveled. All unwanted vegetation shall be removed using mechanical or manual methods. The contractor shall install the approved weed block fabric, covering the entire ground surface area in each bed, leaving no gaps or holes, in an attempt to deter any future weed growth. The contractor shall provide and install the new mulch to a minimum of 3” in plant bed, allowing complete coverage with no weed block fabric or soil exposed.

C.3.7 Fertilize Trees

Trees shall be fertilized periodically to promote healthy growth. The contractor shall recommend a fertilizer to the Contracting Officer with all the ingredients necessary to promote growth and deter any pest or diseases prevalent to this species. Upon the Contracting Officer’s acceptance, the contractor will apply the fertilizer at a rate conducive to the manufacturer’s recommendation listed on the product. The contractor shall have in his/her possession a MSDS printout for each fertilizer, pesticide and/or herbicide and shall conform to all MSDS warnings and recommendations.

C.3.8 Replacement of Tree Rings

Each redbud tree at Warrior’s Walk is bordered with a black plastic landscaping edging. Edging will be removed and replaced periodically as ordered by the

COR. The replacement edging shall be commercial grade, identical in size and appearance, color and design. Edging shall be purchased and installed by the contractor to the exact dimensions and shape of the previously removed tree ring, with little or no disturbance to the contents located within the tree bed.

C.3.9 Pest Control

The contractor will inspect lawn areas and trees each day for indications of pest problems and advise in writing the COR of such problems. Upon confirmation of a specific problem requiring treatment, the contractor will provide the COR with recommended course of action. Upon COR approval, contractor will proceed with approved course of action attempting to minimize all risks to persons and other vegetation. The contractor shall use all precautions possible, applying pesticides only as needed and only in affected spots, whenever possible using the least toxic, effective pesticide. All applications of pesticides and fertilizations will be performed when temperatures are below 90°F and wind drift is negligible. No pesticide will be applied to turf areas without the express approval of the COR who will provide approval in writing. The contractor will keep records on pests identified and treatment(s) rendered for control and give a copy to the COR. Pesticide applications will be made in accordance with the rules and regulations governing use of pesticides in

Georgia.

C.3.10 Maintenance Plan

The contractor shall submit a recommended maintenance plan to the COR within 7 days of award for review. In the plan, the contractor shall note the watering plan (weekly amounts per the season, etc) for the grass and trees.
