 Medians, Fire Stations & Main Street Landscape <br />Project No: PWD 26.301 <br />SECTION 5. SHRUB CARE <br />5-01 General <br />Maintain shrubs in a healthy, thriving condition by performing all necessary operations. <br />5-02 Shrub Pruning and Trimming <br />Shrubs shall not be clipped into balled or boxed forms unless such is required by the <br />design. All pruning cuts shall be made to lateral branches or buds, or flush with the trunk. <br />“Stubbing” will not be permitted. All shrubs shall be pruned so as not to become rangy or <br />top-heavy. Maximum shrub height should not exceed 6 feet. <br />Shrubs shall be pruned in order to provide the following vehicle sight distance clearances <br />in all directions at intersections: <br />Posted Speed Limit Vehicle Sight Distance <br />25 mph 150 ft <br />30 mph 200 ft <br />35 mph 250 ft <br />40 mph 300 ft <br />45 mph 375 ft <br />5-03 Staking <br />Remove stakes as soon as they are no longer needed. Stakes and ties shall be inspected at <br />least twice per year to prevent girdling of trunks or branches and rubbing that causes bark <br />wounds and cambium damage. Contractor shall train shrubs off stakes and adjust stakes <br />and ties as necessary. <br />5-04 Weed Control <br />Keep basins and areas between plants free of weeds and turf. Avoid frequent soil <br />cultivation that destroys shallow roots. <br />5-05 Insect, Disease, and Control <br />All shrubs will be inspected throughout the year to ensure against disease and insect <br />infestation. If an infestation occurs, appropriate plant protection shall be taken. Should a <br />pesticide be required, it shall be applied by a licensed pesticide applicator in accordance <br />with state and local regulations and as weather and environmental conditions permit. Any <br />pruning necessary to remove infested or infected material is included in this contract at <br />no additional cost. <br />5-06 Fertilization <br />Once, late in spring, fertilize recently established plants with a slow release complete <br />fertilizer. Avoid applying fertilizer to the root ball and base of main stem; rather, spread <br />evenly under the drip line. Application rates will vary by plant size, follow label rates. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 0CA1C663-FC9F-8542-829D-EE33675CC266Docusign Envelope ID: F7F9ED3E-EB07-824E-82A3-2EC213332F32
