END OF SECTION City of Winter Springs I BID Number: 2013- BLUMBERG -SR RM TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS SPECIFIC TASKS 1.0 TURF CARE - MOWING The mowing of all grassed areas shall be no less than once every seven (7) days in the heavy growing season. Mowing shall be no less than bi- weekly, or as instructed by the City's Representative, during the dormant growing season. Dormant and growing seasons are dictated by the weather and therefore may change per the City's Representative, but otherwise shall be: Heavy Growing Season - March 1 through October 31. Dormant Growing Season - November 1 through February 28. All paspalum /bermuda turf will be mowed to a height of 1" to 1.5" inches on average, by a commercial reel mower, unless a rotary mower is permitted (in writing from the City) on a temporary basis. At no time shall more than one -third (1/3) of the leaf surface be removed in one mowing. Prior to mowing and trimming any turf and bed areas including adjacent curbsides; paper, bottles, cans, limbs, and all other debris (as well as misplaced dirt or sand) must be removed from areas immediately bordering site and actual site locations. Areas are to look clean and neat and free of debris at all times. Any clipping, trimming debris will be removed from site as work is completed, or at the end of each day that work is performed. Lawn clippings may be left on the turf areas so long as no readily visible clumps remain on the grass surface after mowing. Otherwise large clumps of clippings will be collected and disposed of by Contractor. In case of fungal disease outbreaks, all clipping will be collected and properly disposed of until disease is undetectable. Topdressing will be applied in areas, as necessary, throughout the year but not to exceed three (3) applications per year, as per acceptable industry standards. TURF CARE — AERATION Aeration of the soils (turf only) shall be done no less than two (2x) times per year as per acceptable industry standards. This shall be done at a depth of 4" and spacing density of approximately 4-6 ". Hand weeding of all turf areas shall we done no less than one (1x) time per month in the heavy growing season and as needed in the dormant growing season (as required by the City). Hand weeding shall be in addition to any chemical applications applied to the turf and will address ALL weed types and other foreign growth in the turf areas. 2.0 BED MULCHING Mulching of all beds and tree areas are to be performed once during the dormant season at a scheduled time approved by Owner /City Representative. If additional mulch is needed for touch up and/or to keep planting areas neat and freshly maintained during the remainder of the seasons, such work shall scheduled between both Contractor and Owner at a pre - established cost to Owner as designated on the Bid Calculation Sheet. Mulch depth to be a minimum total of three (3) inches, placed, not dumped, as well as kept from around the immediate base of shrubs and small trees. The type of mulch is to be mini pine bark. Quality and quantities are to be reported prior to mulching. City of Winter Springs ( BID Number: 2013- BLUMBERG -SR 1 9 l !' Edging of all walks, curbs, pavements, hardscapes and grass invasion shall be done weekly during the heavy growing season and as needed, a minimum of bi- weekly, for the remainder of the year. All grass and dirt to be blown off onto grass areas only. No debris shall be blown onto hard surfaces or into shrub or flowerbeds. Schedule for edging of soft surfaces such as turf, bed borders, and ground cover shall be performed bi- weekly or more, as needed. 4.0 WEEDEATING AND STRING TIMMING Areas inaccessible to mowing equipment shall be kept neat and trimmed at each service. Trimming of grass and weeds around any fixed objects (walls, light posts, light fixtures, equipment boxes, structures, sign posts and trees) will be done through chemical control within a limit of FOUR inches (4 ") maximum or by trimmer so as not to inflict damage of any kind to structure, equipment, tree or shrub. 5.0 PRUNING / SHAPING - SHRUBS AND ORNAMENTALS Pruning of plants shall be performed as needed to remove dead wood harboring insects and disease and to promote maximum health and growth. The finding of insects or disease shall be reported immediately to the City Representative so as to limit losses. Aesthetic pruning shall consist of removal of dead or broken branches. Pruning shall be performed to balance infiltration light to enhance new growth. Small leafed shrubs, such as Gold Mound Duranta, Indian Hawthorn, Walter's Viburnum, Winter Gem, etc., are to be kept trimmed in a tight, neat appearance, with removal of partial new growth after no more that 1" to 2" inches of new growth appears. Larger leafed shrubs, such as Viburnum, Jack Frost Ligustrum, Star Jasmine, etc. may attain new growth reaching from 1" to 3" before trimming. But at no time are shrubs to display a disorderly appearance. Ornamentals and Perennials such as Dianelia (Flax Lilly), Pentas, etc. are to be trimmed just before the growing season (early March) or as directed, depending on growth, health and climatic conditions to promote a flush of new growth. Bougainvillea shall be trained, trimmed and maintained onto the adjoining trellises and kept trimmed to prevent public safety hazards due to overgrowth into public congregational areas but not over - trimmed to interrupt the bloom cycles of the plant. Knock -Out Roses bloom continuously if the faded blooms are removed regularly. Every week during the growing season, Service Provider shall twist off old buds by hand. Every four to six weeks, Service Provider shall hand prune the long stems back by half. This two -step process keeps new growth coming and removes hormone filled hips that cause the rose to bloom more slowly. Night Blooming Jasmine shall not be allowed to exceed five (5) feet in height and four (4') feet in total width at any time and shall be trimmed as much as necessary to maintain such parameters. Asian Jasmine shall be trimmed to not allow growth outside the bed area into turf or hardscapes.
