Grounds Maintenance (Mowing and Trimming) Mow and trim the lawn area of the Rest Area grounds consisting of approximately twelve (12) acres per cycle. The estimated acreage to be mowed is 12 acres per mowing cycle with an estimate of 25 cycles for the mowing season. This amount may vary based upon weather conditions, and the actual number of cycles shall be determined by the Department. Perform the mowing operation with commercial grade turf type mowing equipment not less than 48" and not more than 72" in width. A small push type mower may be utilized for trimming. Farm tractors with rotary finish mowers will not be allowed. Mow the grass to a minimum height of 3". Correct any uneven or streaked mowing immediately. The Department will direct the time and place for mowing to begin. If a mowing cycle is delayed because of weather conditions or other problems that results in a build up of grass clippings (bio-mass), remove or disperse the clippings over the area to eliminate unsightly build-up of debris and to prevent the smothering of the turf. Perform trimming operations after each mowing cycle. Perform trimming operations around mulched areas, trees, picnic table pads, trash containers, curbs, sign posts or other obstacles located on the grounds. Blow or sweep clippings off of all concrete surfaces after trimming is completed. Perform trimming along concrete edges as needed to keep all growth from encroaching over the sidewalks, curbs, picnic pads and other concrete areas. Utilize a hand-held string trimmer or power edger to perform the trimming operation. The use of herbicides will not be used to keep the growth from the sidewalks or curbs with the exception of those areas where there is growth in cracks (Refer to Line 0003 for products and procedures).
