Drainage ▪ Prevent silt bearing road surface and ditch runoff from delivering sediment to any streams or wetlands. ▪ Maintain rolling dips and drivable waterbars as needed to keep them functioning as intended. ▪ Maintain headwalls to the road shoulder level with material that will resist erosion. ▪ Maintain energy dissipaters at culvert outlets with non-erodible material or rock. ▪ Keep ditches, culverts, and other drainage structures clear of obstructions and functioning as intended. ▪ Inspect and clean culverts at least monthly, with additional inspections during storms and periods of high runoff. This shall be done even during periods of inactivity. Preventative Maintenance ▪ Perform preventative maintenance work to safeguard against storm damage, such as blading to ensure correct runoff, ditch and culvert cleaning, and waterbar maintenance.
Irrigation The City shall provide water to the Premises for the purpose of irrigating the facility. The City specifically reserves the right to restrict water usage under this Agreement if water restrictions are placed on other water users within the City. Prior to the start of the season, City will provide charge up and run through the automatic irrigation systems to check for proper operation. City will provide Lessee with a radio for remote operation of the irrigation system, which Lessee shall use for the day to day maintenance, repair, and monitoring of the irrigation system. If the radio is lost, stolen, broken, or is rendered unusable, Lessee shall pay $1500 for the replacement radio. City is responsible for the maintenance and repair of the following irrigation elements, to the extent applicable: curb stops, backflow prevention devices, backflow enclosures, main line pipings, electric control valves, and controllers. Lessee shall notify Parks Division Water managers by email if any of these irrigation elements are malfunctioning or broken.
Sanitation The Purchaser’s operations, as described by this contract, shall comply with all applicable State laws, rules and regulations concerning sanitation in operations. Refuse resulting from the Purchaser’s activities, including the use, servicing, repair, or abandonment of equipment, shall be removed, buried or otherwise disposed of in a manner that complies with all State laws and meets the approval of the Forest Officer. The Purchaser shall not service tractors, trucks and similar pieces of equipment on lands that directly drain into or are within 100 feet of lakes, streams or recreational facilities. No logging camp will be located on the gross sale area without prior approval by the Forest Officer.
Watering C.10.1. The Contractor shall water lawns, flowers, shrubs, and trees to provide for moisture penetration to a depth of 7 centimeters. If natural precipitation is sufficient to fulfill this requirement, the Contractor may request the COR's permission to suspend watering to avoid too much water in the soil.
Mowing Mowing, edging (of sidewalks, paved approaches and curbs), litter removal, herbicide treatment, grass clipping removal, and brush control are included under one bid item. Regular mowing under this contract is generally limited to mowing areas of shoulders, front and back slopes of ditches less than or equal to three-to-one (3:1) slope, roadside retention areas, dry roadside ditch bottoms, median islands and various width utility strips and similar areas. Slope mowing, which is also a contract requirement, is generally limited to slopes greater or steeper than three-to-one (3:1) and are relatively inaccessible to the use of conventional mowing equipment (e.g., steep slopes, retention area banks and shores, bridge/overpass banks, canal banks, wet roadside ditches, etc). These types of areas will normally require equipment specifically designed for this type of work. When slope mowing is performed, it will incorporate the use of string trimmers to protect the integrity of the slope and prevent damage to the turf. Sign posts, mailboxes, guardrails, trees, roadside outfall structures, fences, divider walls, shrubs, plants, light poles, utility flags or other such obstacles to mowing will be hand mowed or trimmed around as necessary to present a groomed appearance. Top of vegetation on wet bottom ditches areas must be cut-off to the water’s level. Particular attention will be paid to planted areas. Any damage that occurs to plants, trees, shrubs, mulched beds, tree rings, sprinkler heads, etc., will be repaired or restored, at the Contractor’s expense, before the cycle is completed. Mowing will also include grass clipping removal and litter removal, edging, and herbicide treatment. These costs will be included in the unit price bid for right-of-way mowing.
Cleaning 8.1 CONTRACTOR shall, at his own expenses, at all times keep the premises free from accumulation of debris, waste materials, and rubbish, and at the completion of the work, he shall remove his tools and equipment and all surplus materials, debris, waste material, and rubbish and shall leave the premises in a neat and clean condition. If CONTRACTOR does not attend to such cleaning immediately upon request, OWNER shall have the right to have this work done by others and deduct the cost therefore from the payment due CONTRACTOR hereunder.
Landscaping Maintaining, tending and cultivating and (as necessary) re-stocking any garden or grassed areas including replacing plants, shrubs and trees as necessary.
