Certification

The CONTRACTOR shall provide the Engineer a certified test report from the manufacturer of the commercial fertilizer confirming that the requirements of this Section are met. The certified test report shall include test results for total nitrogen, available phosphoric acid, water-soluble potash, and sulfur. Each certification shall cover one batch per type for dry type fertilizer.

Fertilizer Rates

Soil laboratory fertilization recommendations are based on the amount (lbs) of nutrients (N, P2O5, K2O) to apply per given area (usually 1,000 square feet.). From this recommendation it is necessary to select an appropriate fertilizer grade and then determine how much of this fertilizer to apply to the area.

If a complete fertilizer (containing all three primary nutrients) is not available in the ratio of N-P-

K necessary to match the ratio required in the fertilizer recommendation, mixed-grade or single-nutrient fertilizers should be used to satisfy each nutrient requirement.

To calculate fertilizer rates:

• Measure the area to be fertilized in square feet.

• Select fertilizers, to be used based on the soil testing laboratory recommendations by matching the ratio of nutrients recommended to the fertilizer grades available.

• Determine the amount of fertilizer to apply to a given area (1,000 square feet.) by dividing the recommended amount of nutrient by the percentage of the nutrient (on a decimal basis) in the fertilizer. Apply no more than 0.25 lbs P2O5/1000 square feet per application prior to planting.

• Adjust the amount of fertilizer to the project area.

Insecticides and Herbicides

Environmental Protection. Contact the Regional Field Office of Bureau of Invasive Plant

Management of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for proper permits and subsequent approval. If application of synthetic organo-auxin herbicides is necessary, meet the requirements of Chapter 5E-2, Florida Administrative Code.

Water

The water used in the grassing operations may be obtained from any approved source. The water shall be free of any substance, which might be harmful to plant growth. Effluent water shall meet all Federal, State and local requirements.

CONSTRUCTION METHODS

Incorporate turf installation into the project at the earliest practical time. Use the methods and materials necessary to establish and maintain the initial grassing until final acceptance.

Sod: Place the sod on the prepared surface, with edges in close contact. Do not use sod which has been cut for more than 48 hours. Place the sod to the edge of all landscape areas as shown in the

Plans and as shown in the Design Standards.

Place rolled sod parallel with the roadway and cut any exposed netting even with the sod edge.

Monitor placed sod for growth of pest plants and noxious weeds. If pest plants and/or noxious weeds manifest themselves within 30 days of placement of the sod during the months April through October, within 60 days of placement of the sod during the months of November through March treat affected areas by means acceptable to the COUNTY at no expense to the

COUNTY. If pest plants and/or noxious weeds manifest themselves after the timeframes described above from date of placement of sod, the Engineer, at his sole option, will determine if treatment is required and whether or not the CONTRACTOR will be compensated for such treatment.

Remove and replace any sod as directed by the Engineer.

TURF ESTABLISHMENT

Perform all work necessary, including watering and fertilizing, to sustain an established turf until final acceptance, at no additional expense to the COUNTY. Provide the filling, leveling, and repairing of any washed or eroded areas, as may be necessary.

1. An established root system (leaf blades break before seedlings or sod can be pulled from the soil by hand).

2. No bare spots larger than one square foot.

3. No continuous streaks running perpendicular to the face of the slope.

4. No deformation of the turf areas caused by mowing or other CONTRACTOR equipment.

5. No exposed sod netting.

6. No pests or noxious weeds.

Monitor turf areas and remove all competing vegetation, pest plants, and noxious weeds (as listed by the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, Category I “List of Invasive Species”, Current

Edition, http://www.fleppc.org). Remove such vegetation regularly by manual, mechanical, or chemical control means, as necessary. When selecting herbicides, pay particular attention to ensure use of chemicals that will not harm desired turf. Use herbicides in accordance with provision

During the entire establishment period and until turf is established in accordance with this specification, continue inspection and maintenance of erosion and sedimentation control. Take responsibility for the proper removal and disposal of all erosion and sedimentation control items after turf has been established.

Notify the Engineer, with a minimum of seven calendar days advance notice, to conduct inspections of the turf at approximate 90-day intervals during the establishment period to determine establishment. Results of such inspections will be made available to the

CONTRACTOR within seven calendar days of the date of inspection. Determination of an established turf will be based on the entire project and not in sections.

The CONTRACTOR’S establishment obligations of this specification will not apply to deficiencies due to the following factors, if found by the Engineer to be beyond the control of the

CONTRACTOR, his subcontractors, vendors or suppliers:

• Determination that the deficiency was due to the failure of other features of the Contract.

• Determination that the deficiency was the responsibility of a third party performing work not included in the Contract or its actions.

The COUNTY will only pay for replanting as necessary due to factors determined by the

COUNTY to be beyond the control of the CONTRACTOR.

Litter Removal

Litter and debris removal includes the pickup removal, and disposal from the right-of-way and COUNTY property of any obstacle such as wood, signs, tires, cans, etc., which cannot be traversed by the mowing equipment. It will also be the CONTRACTOR’S responsibility to remove any item such as bags of trash, newspapers, magazines, food containers, boxes, sheets of paper, etc., which will be torn, ripped, scattered or further subdivided by the mowers, which will result in an objectionable appearance.

Clipping Removal

During each cycle all grass clippings that are not uniformly distributed, and detract from the appearance of the mowing operation will be removed from the site by the CONTRACTOR, upon completion of the mowing operation to allow for a neat and clean appearance after completion.

The CONTRACTOR will remove and dispose of all grass clippings from the pavement, curbs and curb inlets located within the limits of the project.

The grass clipping removal will be performed in conjunction with the mowing cycle. It is the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR to maintain the inlet openings free from the debris generated during their right-of-way mowing operation. Grass clippings will not be blown into drains or storm drain inlets. Failure to adhere to this will result in the CONTRACTOR, at his/her own expense within two (2) working days, jetting out these pipes and drains or reimbursing the

COUNTY for the clean-up effort carried out by COUNTY personnel.

Edging

Edging is the removal of all weeds, sand, vegetation, debris and plant material by the

CONTRACTOR from all edges of curbs, to maintain these areas in an attractive and manicured condition. Edging includes the removal of growth mechanically and manually and shall be performed in conjunction with the mowing cycle.

GROUNDWATER – TREATMENT & DISPOSAL

General

If concentrations of tested groundwater quality parameters exceed those allowable in the Florida

Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Generic Permit for the Discharge of Produced

Groundwater from any Non-Contaminated Site Activity (62-621.300(2), F.A.C.), treatment may be required under this technical provision.

The term treatment as used in this technical provision means the application of all FDEP approved techniques and/or methods available to remove the exceedances out of dewatering effluent except impounding. Impounding is not considered a treatment method for purposes of compensation under this technical provision.

The CONTRACTOR shall include in his/her bid all applicable costs, including monitoring, resulting from treatment and disposal of contaminated groundwater with concentration levels that exceed the allowable limits of the FDEP generic permit, and shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Price as a result of any change in the permit fees or unanticipated treatment and disposal costs.

Prior to any work commencing, and for the duration of the work, the CONTRACTOR is responsible for meeting all the conditions of the applicable permits and submitting any required reports to the appropriate agencies.

The CONTRACTOR shall dewater only in relation to the location and relocation of facilities owned by the COUNTY. No compensation shall be provided for dewatering performed for facilities that are not owned by the COUNTY.

PERMITTING

If exceedances are found in the dewatering effluent, the CONTRACTOR will be required to:

1. Immediately notify the COUNTY and report the exceedances that are encountered.

2. Meet with the FDEP to determine any and all alternatives that are acceptable.

3. Obtain prior COUNTY approval of treatment and disposal alternatives.

4. Obtain prior written COUNTY authorization to use pay item TP 900-3-1.

5. Apply and obtain any and all permits and/or treatment approvals that FDEP requires including, but not limited to:

a. Generic Permit for Discharges from Petroleum Contaminated Sites (62-

621.300(1), F.A.C.). Allows discharges from sites with automotive gasoline, aviation gasoline, jet fuel, or diesel fuel contamination.

b. Permit for all Other Contaminated Sites (62-04; 62-302; 62-620 & 62-660, F.A.C.). The coverage is available only through the individual NPDES permit issued by FDEP. Allows discharges from sites with general contaminant issues, i.e. ground water and/or soil contamination other than petroleum fuel contamination.

c. Generic Permit for the Discharge of Produced Ground Water from Any Non-

Contaminated Site Activity (62-621.300(2), F.A.C.).

d. Generic Permit for Stormwater Discharge from Large or Small Construction

Activities (62-621.300(4) (a), F.A.C.).

6. Apply and obtain any and all permits and/or treatment approvals that the Water

Management District requires including, but not limited to:

a. No-Notice Short-Term Dewatering Permit (40E-20.302(3), F.A.C.) If the

CONTRACTOR’S proposed work is expected to exceed 90 days in duration, or does not meet any of the other requirements listed with the requirements of Rule

40E-20.302(3), the CONTRACTOR must apply for and obtain a

Dewatering General Water Use Permit (40E-20.302(2) F.A.C.)

The CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to file, or recover under, any delay claim based on preparation of permit applications and the time required for obtaining the applicable permits. If, prior to or during the dewatering, it is determined that the disposal or discharge of the dewatering effluent is not authorized by the FDEP’s Generic Permit for the Discharge of Produced Ground

Water from Any Non-Contaminated Site Activity, the CONTRACTOR shall diligently pursue further required permit(s) from FDEP or other agencies without resort to delay claims or recompense from the COUNTY for either permit application activities or the time required to obtain such permits.

The CONTRACTOR shall consider and anticipate the potential need to obtain the herein discussed permits in developing his schedule, and shall make every effort to avoid or minimize potential impacts to his critical path that might result from delays in dewatering activities due to the time necessary for the CONTRACTOR to obtain the necessary permits.

The CONTRACTOR shall make every effort to schedule activities requiring dewatering as late as possible during his schedule, and shall schedule activities not impacted by dewatering TP

900-3 as early as possible. For each day, up to a maximum of one hundred eighty (180) days that the CONTRACTOR diligently pursues such permit(s) and is unable to avoid adversely impacting his critical path, a day will be added to the time allotted to the CONTRACTOR to complete performance of the Project.

TREATMENT

The CONTRACTOR shall implement the appropriate treatment that is acceptable to FDEP, COUNTY, and, if necessary, the Water Management District to attain compliance for all exceedances encountered during dewatering activities. Treatments may include, but are not limited to: chemical treatment, ion exchange treatment, filtration, and disposal of discharged groundwater in a properly permitted facility.

The CONTRACTOR shall:

1. Make every effort to minimize the spread of contamination into uncontaminated areas.

2. Provide for the health and safety of all workers at the job site and make provisions necessary for the health and safety of the public that may be exposed to any potentially hazardous conditions.

3. Ensure such provisions adhere to all applicable laws, rules or regulations covering hazardous conditions in a manner commensurate with the level of severity of the conditions.

4. If necessary, provide contamination assessment and remediation personnel to handle site assessment, determine the course of action necessary for site security, and perform the necessary steps under applicable laws, rules, and regulations for additional assessment and/or remediation work to resolve the contamination issue.

5. Delineate the contamination area(s), any staging or holding area required, and develop a work plan that will provide the schedule of projected completion dates for the final resolution of the contamination issue.

6. Maintain jurisdiction over activities inside any delineated contamination areas and any associated staging or holding areas.

7. Be responsible for the health and safety of workers within the delineated areas.

8. Provide continuous access to representatives of regulatory or enforcement agencies having jurisdiction.
