Specifications include, but are not limited to: This Request for Bid is for the removal of specified stumps within an ORTHO with specified boundaries identified and defined by the City of Wichita. The bid price will include all debris removal and clean-up resulting from grinding the stump and surface roots to a minimum of 6” below grade (surface roots outside of ROW boundaries will not be considered a part of this contract), removing the stump chips to a minimum of 3” below grade and refilling the void with shredded topsoil leaving the topsoil tamped and mounded at 2-3 inches above grade to account for settling over time. This will result in an approximate 6” depth of topsoil to be in the center of the mounded area. Clean-up and soil application should result in a clean street and curb area, driveway, and sidewalk where applicable. Stump chips will be raked out of the turf area so that a minimum amount of chips is left in the turf and will be such a volume as to not impede turf growth due to the remaining chips. (Example: for turf that is healthy and mowed at 2+ inches, no chips should be visible from inside a passing vehicle.) Bare ground will be free of stump chips. Applied topsoil will be tamped and extend only to the border of the grinding area.
