Manufacturers Recommendations:

- For equipment and materials used by the contractor

- Manuals supplied for Government furnished equipment

- Operating/Maintenance Manuals

Industrial Standards and Codes (Latest Editions):

- American National Standards Institute

- EM 385-1-1, General Safety and Health Manual of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers

- OSHA Safety Standards

6. Tree Maintenance.

6.1. Location. The Government will supply to the Contractor a list and map of all trees, limbs, and stumps to be removed. These items may be located within any US Army Corps of Engineers managed location around Lake Shelbyville.

6.2. Dead Limb Removal. Trees marked for limb removal must have all dead or damaged limbs removed two inches and larger in diameter when measured at the final pruning cut. Limbs are to be cut according to the guidelines specified in Appendix C. Bark that is peeled or damaged so as to cause separation from the wood must be cut away from the tree. If the removed branch damages the tree or surrounding trees it is the responsibility of the Contractor to repair any damages. Limbs must be chipped and placed in a nearby location designated by the COR or disposed of off Government property if a suitable location does not exist within the park. Limbs that are too large to be chipped must be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense or cut to firewood size (not to exceed 24” lengths) and stacked at sites for campers. NOTE: Concerning limb removal, the unit “each” in Section B will be interpreted as each tree.

6.3. Tree Removal. Trees marked for removal will be cut flush with the ground. Trees marked for removal will be placed in one of four categories: under 6” DBH, 6 – 12” DBH, 13 – 24” DBH, and over 24” DBH. The tree (to include all limbs) must be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. In cases where a tree is forked or multi-trunked, the tree will be measured at DBH and if the fork is BELOW 4 ½ feet, it will be counted as 2 trees (or more if multi-trunked). If the fork is ABOVE 4 ½ feet, it will be counted as a single tree.

Note: Concerning tree removal, the unit will be each.

6.4. Tree Removal including Stump Removal. Trees marked for removal will be cut down and the stump removed. Trees will be placed in one of the four categories: under 6” DBH, 6 – 12” DBH, 13 – 24” DBH, and over 24” DBH. Trees will be cut to a height so that the stump can be ground utilizing a stump grinder and the stump shall be ground approximately 10" below ground level. All stump holes will be filled with topsoil capable of producing a natural stand of grass and may contain NO more than 30% wood chips. The remaining wood chips are to be removed from the area and disposed of at the Contractor’s expense. Once the topsoil is packed level, it shall be seeded and fertilized (10-10-10) with a viable mixture of tall fescue, bluegrass, and ryegrass seed. The tree (to include all limbs) must be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. In cases where a tree is forked or multi-trunked, the tree will be measured at DBH and if the fork is BELOW 4 ½ feet, it will be counted as 2 trees (or more if multi-trunked). If the fork is ABOVE 4 ½ feet, it will only be counted as one tree. However, for the purposes of tree removal including stump grinding, the diameter of the largest tree will be used to determine payment, and the remaining trunk(s) paid under 5.4 (Tree Removal). Note: Concerning tree removal including stump removal, the unit will be each.

6.5. Stump Removal. Marked stumps shall be removed with a stump grinder and the stump ground approximately 10" below ground level. All stump holes will be filled with topsoil capable of producing a natural stand of grass and may contain NO more than 30% wood chips. The remaining wood chips are to be removed from the area and disposed of at the COR’s discretion. Once the topsoil is packed level, it shall be seeded and fertilized (10-10-10) with a viable mixture of tall fescue, bluegrass, and ryegrass seed. Note: Concerning stump removal, the unit will be each.

6.6. Emergency Call Out. In cases of an emergency it may be necessary to call the contractor out to take care of a hazard tree/limb that is in imminent danger of or has already caused an accident. In such cases, the contractor will be required to report on-site and be prepared to work within 4 hours of receiving the call from Corps personnel. This line item is to cover the cost of mobilizing equipment and/or manpower to Lake Shelbyville on short notice. Each tree/limb removal will still be paid at the appropriate bid price. As an example: A 24” tree blows across the road blocking campers in at Coon Creek Recreation Area. The tree is too big for Corps personnel to handle and Corps personnel make an Emergency Call Out (Contractors bid price of $500.00 for an emergency call out). The contractors bid price for a 24” tree is $1,000.00. The contractor would be paid $1,000.00 for the tree and $500.00 for the Emergency Call Out for a total of $1,500.00. Predicting how often this line item will be utilized in any given year is not practical. However, only in true emergency situations will the Contractor be called out. Note:

Concerning Emergency Call Out, the unit will be for each incident.

6.7. Firewood Provision. In some instances where the species is desirable for firewood (oak, hickory, etc.), the COR may want a hazard tree cut into firewood and stacked neatly at a nearby location within the recreation area for camper use. Only trees between 6” and 15” DBH will be utilized for this purpose and will be specified by the COR. These trees must be cut into approximately 24" lengths and neatly stacked at a nearby campsite or nearby location within the park as designated by the COR. The remaining portions of the tree (to include limbs) outside of this size range must be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. Note: Concerning firewood provision, the unit will be each. There will be two bid items under this section: Tree removal and tree removal including stump removal. For both bid items the specification is covered under Section 5.3 or 5.4 to exclude the portion to be left for firewood.

7. Pruning Services.

7.1. Roadway Limb Removal. A map of the area(s) to be limbed will be provided to the Contractor and the area clearly marked along the roadway with a starting and ending point. All limbs hanging over the roadway lower than 20 feet high and limbs within 15 feet of the road itself will be removed within the marked areas up to 20 feet high. This may mean cutting a limb 25 feet up the trunk to eliminate a 16-foot overhang. Simply limbing the overhanging branch to a height of 20 feet and not removing the entire limb will NOT be allowed. Limbs shall be cut back to the trunk of the tree according to the guidelines specified in Appendix C. Bark that is peeled or damaged so as to cause separation from the wood shall be cut away from the tree. If the removed limbs damage the tree or surrounding trees it is the responsibility of the Contractor to repair the damages at no expense to the Government.

Limbs shall be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. Note: Concerning roadway limb removal, the unit will be linear yards and will only cover one side of the road. For example, if a 250-yard section of roadway needs both sides of the road trimmed 500 linear yards will be indicated on the task order.

7.2. Campsite Pruning. All limbs overhanging the campsite living or parking areas up to 20 feet high and limbs within 10 feet of the living or parking area shall be removed up to 20 feet. This may mean cutting a limb 25 feet up the trunk to eliminate an 18-foot overhang. Limbs must be cut back to the trunk of the tree according to the guidelines specified in Appendix C. Simply limbing the overhanging branch to a height of 20 feet and not removing the entire limb will NOT be allowed. Bark that is peeled or damaged so as to cause separation from the wood must be cut away from the tree. If the removed limbs damage the tree or surrounding trees it is the responsibility of the Contractor to repair the damages at no expense to the Government. Limbs shall be chipped, and chips placed in a nearby location designated by the COR. If limbs are too large to be chipped than they shall be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense or cut to firewood size (not to exceed 24” lengths) and stacked at sites for campers. Campsites are located within Lithia Springs, Opossum Creek, Lone Point, Coon Creek, and Bo Wood Recreation Areas. NOTE: Concerning campsite pruning, the unit “each” in Section B will be interpreted as each campsite.

7.3. Facility Pruning. All limbs hanging over the facility up to 15 feet high and within 15 feet of the facility shall be removed. This may mean cutting a limb 20 feet up the trunk to eliminate a 12-foot overhang.

Limbs shall be cut back to the trunk of the tree according to the guidelines specified in Appendix C. Simply limbing the overhanging branch to a height of 15 feet and not removing the entire limb will NOT be allowed. Bark that is peeled or damaged so as to cause separation from the wood shall be cut away from the tree. If the removed limbs damage the tree or surrounding trees it is the responsibility of the Contractor to repair the damages at no expense to the Government. Limbs shall be chipped, and chips placed in a nearby location designated by the COR. If limbs are too large to be chipped, then they shall be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. NOTE:

Concerning facility pruning, the unit “each” in Section B will be interpreted as each facility.

7.4. Live Limb Pruning as Needed (Trees in Mowing Areas, Scenic Overlooks, etc.). Trees marked for live limb removal must have all live limbs removed so that the ends of the remaining limbs are NO lower than 10 feet within mowing limits and scenic overlooks. This may mean cutting a limb 15 feet high to eliminate an 8-foot overhang. Simply limbing the overhanging branch to a height of 10 feet and not removing the entire limb will NOT be allowed. All limbs will be cut according to the guidelines specified in Appendix C. Bark that is peeled or damaged so as to cause separation from the wood must be cut away from the tree. If the removed branch damages the tree or surrounding trees it is the responsibility of the Contractor to repair any damages. Limbs must be chipped and placed in a nearby location designated by the COR. Limbs that are too large to be chipped must be removed from Government property at the Contractor’s expense. NOTE: Concerning limb removal, the unit “each” in Section B will be interpreted as each tree.
