Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1.2.1 Mowing and Trimming will every Wednesday through the first week of November unless otherwise directed by CMHA. The average mowing season is approximately 28-32 weeks at the Property Manager’s discretion. The mowing shall be performed based on the growth rate of the grass and not more than one fourth of the total leaf height may be removed. All grass areas will be mowed in a linear manner to a uniform leaf height of three (3) inches and grass shall be mowed before the total leaf height exceeds four (4) inches. 1.2.2 There should be no double charging for mowing high grass, regardless if the reason is for a mowing service being skipped by direction of the Property Manager. The only exception is if the grass is above 6” in length. In such case, the contractor shall provide before-cut photos of the grass to the Property Manager AND obtain Property Manager approval for the double cut before performing the service. 1.2.2.1 Remove weeds and grass from foundations, adjacent to pavement and curbs, and cracks in pavement. This includes sidewalks (interior and public), areas around garage doors and parking lots. Then spray with Round Up (or its equivalent). Application shall not exceed 3” from the foundation walls or curbs. 1.2.3 The maximum number of days between each mowing and trimming is seven (7) days unless directed in writing by the Property Manager. 1.2.4 After the site mowing is completed, grass clippings shall be distributed evenly on the mowed area and clumps/bunches of mowed grass are to be raked and immediately removed from the mowed area. 1.2.5 Mowing guards shall remain down at all times during operation regardless of the grass height. This is a safety issue and failure to abide by this may result in termination.
