• Mulch shall be installed in a consistent manner at an average height of 2.5" inches. All plant material in mulch areas shall be cleared of mulch (aside from base) before completion. All trees within mulch placement area must have the trunk flare/base cleared of stacked/piled mulch prior to completion of work. Mulch against a tree’s trunk will rot the cambium and potentially kill said tree. All curb, gutter, sidewalk and pathway areas shall be cleared of dust and debris prior to completion. The awarded contractor will be responsible for any tree within the mulched area that declines as a result of unclear mulch around the trunk flare. • Prior notice shall be posted by awarded contractor along streets within the mulch placement area. This notice shall include temporary “no parking” signs posted a minimum of 48 hours prior to work commencing.
