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 will not be permitted when the ground is so 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. The Contractor shall survey the area and report all damage or vandalism to the Project Manager 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 Project Manager, at no cost to the Government.

2. Trimming Requirements: Trim grass to a height of not more than four and one-half (4-

1/2) inches or less than three (3) 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. The Contractor shall survey the levee or area and report all damage or vandalism to the Project Manager prior to commencement of trimming in each area. Any damage found thereafter by the Government’s inspector that has not been previously reported 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 Project Manager, at no cost to the Government. Areas adjacent to facilities must be trimmed using other types of equipment such as string trimmers. Trimming shall be accomplished around all vertical objects within the levee area. Trimming shall be done at a minimum each time mowing is performed. The Project Manager may determine that area/facility trimming is required in conjunction with maintenance work and that mowing services are not required.

3. Grounds Cleaning: Grounds cleaning will be performed in conjunction with scheduled mowing services, in order to leave the mowing area with an overall neat and clean appearance. The grounds cleaning shall remove all obvious and noticeable trash and litter from the mowing limits which are designated as the mowing boundaries on the location maps attached to these specifications. All trash and litter shall be removed and properly disposed of in bulk refuse receptacles.

4. Flooding: During extended periods of heavy rain or high water events/flooding the

Levee operations may not be disrupted. During such periods, the Government reserves the right to request a modified per-acre price for mowing services in specified project areas in lieu of the mowing bid price listed in the bidding schedule. The per-acre price shall be negotiated between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer. After the flood conditions have ceased, the Contractor shall resume normal contract requirements.

5. Restrictions – All mowing and trimming required in a project area shall be completed and inspected by the Contractor’s Quality Control Inspector prior to beginning work in another park or area. The contractor shall notify Project Manager immediately upon completion of services, so that the Army Corps of Engineers may inspect the work. The Contractor shall be responsible for correction of any and all deficiencies discovered by the Quality Assurance inspection within twenty-four (24) hours at no additional cost to the Government.

6. Changes to Frequency and/or Quantities - The Government reserves the option, should it become necessary, to decrease or increase service frequencies and/or facility quantities in any or all project areas. The Government may also, at any time during the duration of this contract, close any property or portion of the property and delete any subsequent service in the closed property or area. The Contractor shall be given adequate notification to prepare for either contingency. This decrease or increase will be deducted from or paid for in accordance with the bidding schedule or a negotiated cost. In addition, the Project Manager may, on special occasions decide to reschedule a service frequency in order to avoid conflict with visitation or unnecessary expense. A minimum of twenty- four hours notification shall be given to the Contractor in such cases.
