Specifications include, but are not limited to: 1.1. Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment for the Mowing Services to be performed, which shall consist of mowing, trimming, and trash removal (“Mowing Services”) in the designated areas. 1.2. The number of cycles listed (20 mowing, 24 trash) represents an estimate only, and no minimum or maximum amount of work is guaranteed. The City, at its sole discretion, may eliminate scheduled services for areas designated in the Inventory or may add areas to the Inventory on a “cost per cycle” basis. The number of cycles may be increased or decreased due to weather/seasonal conditions or other factors that cannot be forecasted. 1.3. Contractor shall perform all Mowing Services Monday through Thursday from 30 minutes after sunrise to 30 minutes before sunset, unless otherwise approved by the City writing. When City holidays fall on a Friday, properties must be completed by Wednesday of that week. Contractors shall have the ability to complete all properties in three (3) days without duress. Park activity is not accepted as a reason for service incompletion. Contractor must determine the optimal time to mow and still stay clear of patrons using the property. 1.4. Contractor shall honor requests by the City to mow or not to mow on a particular date due to large community events within the park. The City agrees to limit these restrictions as much as possible and to provide Contractor with as much advanced notification as possible. 1.5. Contractor shall adhere to the guidelines of “Knozone Actions Days” which the City periodically declares during the Summer months. The City will notify Contractor via electronic mail or telephone of declared “Knozone Action Days.” Mowing Services are generally not allowed on Knozone Action Days; however, at the City’s discretion, Mowing Services may be permitted on Knozone Action Days only prior to 10:00 a.m. and after 6:00 p.m. Contractor is expected to approach Knozone Action Days strategically by being prepared to mow properties before and after said days to ensure all Mowing Services are provided in the appropriate cycle.
