EXHIBIT A SCOPE OF WORK 1. Turfgrass Mowing. Provide turfgrass mowing at various park and building sites located throughout Pleasanton. Sites are divided into three routes.All turfgrass mowing/edging work is to be performed in route on a designated day of the week as determined by the Parks Superintendent or their designee (all references hereafter to the Parks Superintendent shall include their designee). During spring and fall rapid growth cycles for tall fescue turfgrass, a second weekly mowing may be requested on Friday of the same week at specific park site locations. The Contractor shall maintain all turf areas on the site(s) in a healthy, thriving condition by performing the following operations and other work incidental thereto: a. All areas shall be policed before each mowing.Any foreign matter, including broken glass, litter, paper, dog or animal defecation, etc. shall be removed prior to mowing. Contractor is responsible for clean-up and removal of any trash debris, animal defecation or other objects scattered or shredded by mowers during servicing prior to leaving each park site. b. Contractor is to exercise extreme safety measures when working around the public. Care should be taken to ensure mower speed is appropriate, clippings are not directed toward public, and mowing within parks is adjusted as needed to best accommodate users, etc. c. Upright grasses shall be mowed to a uniform height of 3-inches. Mower blades shall be kept sharp so as not to damage the turf or create a"frayed"turf blade. Mulching mowers are encouraged to be utilized for this work. d. Before each mowing cycle the mow pattern shall be rotated 45 degrees clockwise from the previous weeks mow pattern. e. Care is to be taken at all times so as to avoid wet, soggy, ground areas. If an area cannot be mowed due to wet or soggy ground, it is to be avoided and cut with a line trimmer or other approved lightweight equipment. Smaller corner areas not accessible with mowers shall be cut each week with a line-trimmer to a uniform height of 3 inches. f. Cut grass clippings shall not be left to dry on the turf in "clumps" so large that they shade the grass. Any clumps left as the result of the mowing operation shall be broken-up and evenly distributed across the turf so as to not shade the grass. If clippings cannot be broken up and dispersed evenly on site, Contractor shall remove the clippings from the site at Contractor's expense. All grass clippings, mud, and other debris that is the result of mowing shall be removed from all hardscape areas immediately after the site is mowed. 71Page
