1. General: Mowing services shall be performed in accordance to Tabulation Sheets (Attachment 5), Mowing Maps (Attachment 4) when directed in writing by a Letter of Instruction issued against the contract authorizing the Contractor to mow any one or more of the designated areas on any/all Lakes. The Letter of Instruction shall also state the number and sequence in which the parks or areas are to be mowed and the time limitation allowed.

Contractor will receive at least forty-eight (48) hours advance notice before the work start date.

Government reserves the right to request mowings in selected parks or areas if growth of vegetation warrants. Mowing will only be ordered as often as Government deems necessary and growing conditions may vary greatly. Mowing services are divided into three types:

Facility, Park and Periodic. Prior to commencement of mowing operations in each area, the Contractor shall survey the park or area and submit a Pre-mowing Report of all damage or vandalism to the Government. Any damage found thereafter by the Government that has not been previously reported by the Contractor shall be assumed to be damage caused by the Contractor's operation. Contractor damages shall be repaired/replaced within 48 hours of damage identified at no cost to the Government. Uniformly mow and trim vegetation between two (2) inches and three (3) inches in height for Facility and Park Mowing and four (4) and six

(6) inches in height for Periodic Mowing.

All debris generated from mowing services displaced onto hard structures such as roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, slabs, impact areas, etc. shall be removed prior to contractor stopping work each day. All trash (i.e. paper and plastic products) that are shredded from the mowing process shall be picked up and disposed of. During spring season mowing, clusters of wildflowers may be retained in mowing areas as designated on-site by the Government.

2. Lake Elevation Fluctuation: Lake elevations will fluctuate dependent upon precipitation amounts and operations related to flood reduction management and water supply missions.

During extended periods of heavy rain, various parks and areas are subject to flooding due to increased lake levels, which in turn reduces mowing areas. During drought conditions, mowing limits are designated in the table below.

Low Lake Elevation Mowing Limit

3. Facilities and Fixtures: All facilities and fixtures including but not limited to gate complexes, campsites, restrooms, picnic sites, dump stations, bulk refuse receptacles, lift stations, life jacket loaner stations, bulletin boards, kiosks, playgrounds, group shelters, water fountains, signs, barriers, and swim beaches shall be mowed, trimmed and edged as described in Paragraph 1.2.3.1 as identified by attached maps (Attachment 4).

4. Lake Offices: Contractor shall mow and trim within designated acreage of specified area.

The Contractor’s area mowing and trimming shall result in the height of the grass in designated acreage being uniformly cut and all protruding object trimmed around no less than two (2) inches and no more than three (3) inches above the ground unless otherwise specified by the QA. All excess leaf and grass clipping shall be removed from Lake Offices. A description of these areas shall be found in Technical Exhibit 4. Lake Office mowing shall be broken down into two (2) different mowing areas; Lake Office and periodical mowing.

5. Inspections: All mowing operations required in a park or area shall be completed and inspected by the Contractor's Quality Control (QC) Inspector prior to contacting Government Quality Assurance Inspector for inspection. The Contractor shall notify the Government’s

Once the deficiencies have been corrected, the Contractor’s QC shall call the Government’s QA for re-inspection.

6. Safety Meetings: The Contractor shall hold a safety meeting with all employees prior to each mowing operation and shall notify the Government of locations and time of each meeting. Any Contractor employee who persists in unsafe performance shall be removed from the job at the request of the Government. A copy of safety meeting reports shall be submitted to the Government prior to performing mowings.

7. Performance Standard: All vegetation within areas designated as Facility and Park mowing shall be uniformly cut between two (2) inches and three (3) inches above the ground, leaving no damage to the turf, concrete edges, signs, fences, trees, facilities, persons or property.

Vegetation along concrete walkways, curbs and roads shall be neatly trimmed or edged. All hard surfaces such as roadways, parking lots, sidewalks, slabs, impact areas, etc. shall be free of all debris produced during mowing services prior to contractor stopping work each day.

The Contractor and employees shall comply with all state and local traffic laws. The Contractor shall comply with all pertinent provisions of the Corps of Engineers Manual, EM 385-1-1, Safety and Health Requirement Manual.

9. Accident Reporting: The Contractor shall maintain an accurate record of, and shall report to the Contracting Officer in the manner and time limitations and on the forms prescribed by the Contracting Officer, all accidents resulting in death, traumatic injury, occupational disease, and damage to property, materials, supplies, and equipment incidental to work performed under this contract.

11. Safety Inspections: Prior to work commencement, all equipment shall be inspected by the Government to assure compliance with Section 18 of Safety Manual. Contractor shall present all equipment to the Government for inspection whenever equipment is brought to the Lake.

Contractor shall notify the Government at least two (2) days prior to bringing equipment on-site so that the time and place of these inspections may be scheduled. The Government may inspect equipment at any time it is operated on Government Property. Any equipment found deficient shall be taken out of service immediately until faulty conditions have been corrected and passed by the Government. No such removal will reduce the Contractor's obligation to perform all work required within the time scheduled under this contract.

16. Work Sequence: The Government shall provide the Contractor with a work schedule sequence for mowing areas at each lake for services to be performed by Contractor. Any changes to the work schedule sequence shall be approved by the COR.

17. Work Completion: Work under this contract will be requested by Letter of Instruction. The Contractor will be allowed a specified number of working days, exclusive of Saturdays, Sundays and Federal holidays to accomplish mowings dependent upon the line items selected on the Letter of Instruction. The starting and completion dates are critical in the performance of this contract. If work cannot be commenced on the starting date, the Contractor shall provide written notification to the Government and submit for Government approval a revised schedule. Delays in service requiring an extension to the completion date due to inclement weather or conditions beyond the Contractor's control may only be allowed with the approval of the Government.

1. Time Limitations: Park, facility, and periodic mowings may include any or all items listed on the bid schedule for each lake. The time limitations for mowings shall not exceed ten (10) work days as determined by the Government and as specified per Letter of Instruction.

20. Additional Service Work Requirements:

1. Occupied Facilities: If a facility is occupied by the public at the time of the scheduled servicing, Contractor shall ask their permission to service the facility. If the public objects to the performance of the service, Contractor shall immediately record the unit (by park, facility type and number) on the Quality Control Daily Report as a non- serviced unit. If the facility becomes unoccupied while Contractor is still in the park, Contractor shall service the unit as required and remove the unit from the Quality Control Daily Report. If the facility is still occupied, Quality Control Daily Report shall remain as is and shall be turned into the Government. The Daily Activity Report must be kept current during work performance so that a unit which has not been serviced and was later rejected by the Government's Quality Assurance Inspector can be verified as non- performed because facility was occupied by the public.

2. All Quality Control Inspectors and subcontractors, if used, shall possess as a minimum a copy of that portion of the contract/contract specifications and all maps which governs the work in which they are engaged.
