 Medians, Fire Stations & Main Street Landscape <br />Project No: PWD 26.301 <br />samples for fertility and other factors and suggest changes to soil chemistry. The <br />contractor, at no additional cost, shall follow these recommendations. Supply Parks <br />Division Manager with materials tags for verification of work. <br />B.Annual replacement. Four (4) times each year (exact timing and species/colors to be <br />agreed upon by City and Contractor) replace annual plants in the planter-bowls. The <br />species and color of the annual plants may vary; the Parks Division Manager shall <br />determine the container size and quantity. The plant material will be billed as <br />“additional services” in accordance with the Unit Price Work schedule. <br />SECTION 6. MONTHLY MAINTENANCE <br />A.Irrigation: All lateral lines shall be flushed out at least once per month after removing <br />the last multi-outlet emitter or two at each end of the lateral line. <br />B.Fertilization: Fertilize plants monthly, or as growth and color dictate, with a water- <br />soluble 15-15-15 fertilizer equal to Jack’s Professional 15-15-15 Geranium. Rate <br />shall be 200 ppm nitrogen. <br />A slow-release complete fertilizer, such as Apex 14-14-14 GAL-Xe or an approved equal, can be <br />used instead of a soluble liquid fertilizer. Slow-release granular fertilizer shall be applied every <br />three months at the low rate per the product label. The granular fertilizer should be scratched into <br />the soil if possible, and a thorough overhead irrigation shall be made following fertilizer <br />application. Avoid applying fertilizer to the base of main stems; rather, spread evenly under the <br />plants. <br />SECTION 7. WEEKLY MAINTENANCE <br />A.Checking of plant material, including, but not limited to, pruning, thinning, and <br />pinching-back, is to be performed weekly on Mondays and Fridays from April 1 to <br />November 30, and no less than twice monthly from December 1 to March 31. As <br />directed by the Parks Division Manager, the Contractor shall take action to maintain <br />plant size and shape to prevent overcrowding by aggressive species, prevent <br />legginess, and promote or maintain the design concept. <br />B.Irrigation: Visual checks of the irrigation system should be made on a weekly basis to <br />ensure its proper operation. Check for any leaks, any loss or damage to equipment, <br />proper operation of all emitters, and proper programming of the irrigation controller. <br />Make any adjustments or repairs as necessary. <br />Once established, watering schedules should be reviewed and adjusted on a weekly to monthly <br />basis as needed to accommodate variations in rainfall and evapotranspiration (loss of water by <br />evaporation from the soil and through plant leaves). During the summer, plantings should be <br />checked weekly to ensure that optimum soil moisture exists. Hand watering may be required to <br />some planter-bowls in the most exposed (sun, wind) locations and planter-bowls with low water <br />pressure. See Attachment VII for irrigation controller location and notes. <br />EXHIBIT A <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 0CA1C663-FC9F-8542-829D-EE33675CC266Docusign Envelope ID: F7F9ED3E-EB07-824E-82A3-2EC213332F32
