Turf Care. This work shall include all labor, materials, superintendence, machinery, insurance, equipment, supplies, incidentals and services to maintain in superior condition all areas in the developed sections of the municipal cemeteries. The activities are to include but are not limited to mowing, edging, fertilizing, irrigating, and controlling insects, and planting grass and vegetation as required. At a minimum, maintenance standards which call for mowing and trimming to keep grounds in an aesthetically pleasant and safe condition shall be met. Such mowing and trimming shall be accomplished on an average 7-14 day cycle adjusted for seasonal demands. Line trim every cycle. Aerification done twice per year in areas where possible. Reseeding or sodding over non-shaded bare spots in late spring; recommend hulled Bermuda 3 lbs per 1,000 sq ft. and 6 lbs winter rye per 1,000 sq ft in fall.
Turf Care. A. MANICURED MOWING: All turf areas contained within the specific management area shall be accomplished so as to provide a uniform cutting height of 2" above soil level of turf, being careful not to remove more than one-third (1/3) of the turf blade at any given mowing frequency. All turf clippings shall be removed via mowing bagging attachments.
Turf Care. Turf shall be mowed on a scheduled basis to maintain a neat appearance and to promote healthy growth. Turf shall be cut at a uniform height and be cut with sharp blades at all times. Care will be exercised during mowing operations to prevent damage to trees and other obstacles in the turf area. All turf edges adjacent to any hardscape areas shall be trimmed as needed to maintain a neat appearance. Care shall be exercised to the use of edger’s and weed eaters to prevent damage to trees, building surfaces, walls, headboard, light fixtures, signage, etc. Urban Habitat will mow all turf areas with mulching mowers, eliminating landfill “green waste”. All turf cuttings will be re-used to reduce fertilization costs. Fertilization is included in this proposal, and will be applied three times annually. Fertilization of turf shall consist of a commercial organic type, either in liquid or granular form. Additional soil amendments may be applied per the results of the soils test and recommendations for treatment shall be made on a case-by-case basis. All treatments shall be approved by an “Additional Work Authorization” contract.
Turf Care. A. All turf areas shall be mowed, edged, and trimmed per the Frequency of Services Table, as set forth in Exhibit E, Schedule II. Should weather and/or site conditions preclude the normally scheduled frequency of this service during any month, or portion thereof, the maintenance schedule shall be modified at the discretion and approval of the Director.
