Edging: All concrete or paved trails and roads located in mowed areas shall be edged concurrent with each mowing.

Edging shall include removal of all vegetation from all such trails and roads.

Trimming: Vegetation shall be trimmed around guard posts, culvert ends, signposts, vent pipes, trees, shrubs, stumps, cut banks, boulders, curbs, rock or gravel stockpiles, ridges, depressions, road shoulders, shoulders or backside of ditches and fences, steep banks, slopes, garbage dumpsters, rest rooms, gage houses, and other fixed obstacles. Trimming height shall match the surrounding area.

4.4. Raking or Sweeping: Mechanical raking, vacuuming or sweeping may be required to remove any substantial accumulations of grass clippings left on the lawn surface as a result of the mowing operation.

4.5 Spring Cleanup:

Spring Cleanup Schedule: The Contractor shall be responsible for developing and implementing a Spring Cleanup schedule. Spring Cleanup performed will be coordinated with the QAR to eliminate conflicts. The Contractor shall complete Spring Cleanup within the dates specified in Table 3.

Table 4- Time Period for Irrigation:

Recreation Area 2020-2024 Total Number of Irrigation Weeks

Priest River June - August Approx. 12 weeks per year.

4.7 Priest River Irrigation:

The Contractor shall be responsible for the operation of the Government-owned manual sprinkler system in the day-use area of Priest River Recreation Area (there is no irrigation requirement in the campground). This includes plug-in, quick-coupler type impact sprinklers. The Government will provide materials necessary for irrigation. The Contractor shall fully coordinate and cooperate with Government personnel and other Contractors in scheduling irrigation so as not to interfere with mowing, other ongoing work or visitor activities in the park. Sprinklers shall be placed and/or adjusted so that water will not strike or interfere with roads, parking lots, buildings, visitors, visitors' belongings, and vehicles to the maximum extent possible within the operational capabilities of the system. This includes the areas around the beach restroom, picnic shelter, playground, and Park Office. The Contractor shall remove and neatly store all sprinklers whenever not in actual operation in the pump house. Sprinklers shall not be left out or plugged in when not in use.

System Operating Procedures: The Contractor shall operate the irrigation system only in accordance with procedures (See Technical Exhibit 8) specifications, and limitations provided by the Government.

Prior to the first required irrigation, Government personnel will familiarize the Contractor with the proper operation of the irrigation system. The system generates enough pressure to operate a specific number of sprinkler heads effectively and with adequate coverage. Too many sprinkler heads will not provide effective coverage, and too few will shut the system down as pump pressure will be too high. The pump system should run at approximately 60 pounds of pressure. If the system runs less than 60 pounds remove sprinkler heads until the pressure is sufficient; if the pressure is more than 60 pounds, add sprinklers until the pressure is sufficient. When moving heads, either shut the system down to move all the heads at the same time, or move heads two or three at a time to the next zone while leaving the system on.

Water Frequency and Requirements: Lawn areas, trees, and shrubs within the irrigated areas shall be watered according to the Park Irrigation Schedule which is to be submitted to the QAR. As irrigation water is supplied through a system connected to the river, irrigation cannot proceed until the river level has reached a minimum of

2059.50 msl. This level is anticipated on or about June 15 of each year. To minimize conflicts, beach areas and other high use areas adjacent to parking lots, and the picnic shelter shall be watered in the evenings during low use. The open lawn areas and other lower use areas can be watered during the day or night. The appearance of burnt spots, dry areas, or dull green color in the lawn will be considered as a deficiency.

4.8. Tree, Shrubs and Flower Bed Maintenance: The Contractor shall be responsible for maintenance of the trees, shrubs, and flower beds in the areas shown in the attached maps (See Technical Exhibit 7) for the grounds areas for Vista Area.

Weeding: The 2nd week of March through end of September. Weed control shall be maintained in all flowerbeds, ornamental mulch beds and tree rings monthly. This shall be done by manual or chemical control. Weed control includes cracks and seams in the sidewalks located at the overview near the powerhouse gate and the sidewalks adjacent to the Visitor Center. Concrete curbing boarding any ornamental trees, shrubs, and flower beds shall also be kept weed free.

Cleanup and Leaf Removal: All leaves and miscellaneous debris will be collected and removed from the beds as part of the spring clean-up.

Pruning: All bedded ornamental shrubs, and bushes will be pruned twice (2) during the season to ensure a professionally maintained appearance. All ornamental shade trees will be pruned twice (2) during the contract season. The first pruning shall be performed between mid-March and 30 April and the second pruning will be between 1 July and 30 July. Tree suckers, shoot growth, and tree limbs impeding walkways and parking areas will be pruned as needed. Exception being FY20 due to Covid-19 Delay of Parks opening. FY20 the first pruning will not be completed.

4.9 Herbicide Application (annually for all areas except Trestle Creek):

The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, chemicals, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform terrestrial herbicide application services in a safe manner that preserves public safety, the infrastructure, and the environment on specified Albeni Falls Dam Project lands. The Contractor shall provide sufficient amounts of chemicals to treat the areas as defined. The Contractor shall use: Glyphosate mixed with 2-4D Amine, and a compatible sticker and apply at a rate sufficient to kill weeds but at no more than the maximum label rate. Annual herbicide treatment services shall include, but not be limited to, at identified treatments areas: Signage at all points of entrance of treatment area;

notification to the Corps point of contact (POC) at least 48 hours prior to treatment and immediately after treatment;

and submit a fully completed “Herbicide Applicator Report” (Technical Exhibit 9) within 30 days of each completion of treatment for each recreational location.

Special Qualifications: The Contractor shall obtain all necessary licenses and/or permits required to perform this work. The Contractor shall be certified to apply herbicides in the State of Idaho and shall be knowledgeable with regulatory requirements. He/She shall take all precautions necessary to protect persons and property from injury or damage during the performance of this contract. He/She shall be responsible for any injury to himself/herself, his/her employee, or others, as well as for any damage to personal or public property that occurs during the performance of this contract that is caused by him/her employees’ fault or negligence.

Herbicide Application Schedule: Herbicide applications should begin mid-March and shall be completed no later than 30 April of each year. The Contractor shall be responsible for developing and implementing a detailed herbicide application schedule. Weeds generally begin growing in the local area immediately after the snow melts in March or April and herbicide applications shall be completed prior to park openings (listed on table 2.) Herbicide shall be applied when most effective. The Contractor shall contact the QAR to advise him/her when herbicide applications shall occur. Applications will not occur when weather patterns will reduce effectiveness or wind speeds will cause excess drift of chemicals.
