<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ATTACHMENT 2 <br /> <br /> ANNUAL COLOR PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATION <br /> Before each annual planting the area should be tilled 8 to 16 inches deep. Organic matter in the <br /> form of nitrified redwood must be incorporated to a depth of 8" of the top soil. The contract <br /> administrator may adjust this if adequate organic matter is already present in the soil but the <br /> successful bidder must be prepared to incorporate this organic matter at every color rotation. <br /> Organic matter must comprise 25% of the soil volume where the roots will be. This requires 2" <br /> of nitrified redwood tilled to an 8" depth. Apply 1.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. as a <br /> complete low nitrogen material with a ratio of 1:2:1, 1:1:1, 1:2:2 or similar. Do not use a higher <br /> rate of nitrogen as this may result in excessive vegetative growth and a suppression of flowering. <br /> After establishment, fertilize as necessary to maintain a robust appearance and maximum <br /> flowering. After incorporating organic material and other supplements, the beds must be raked <br /> smooth and slightly mounded. Sticks clods and other material must be removed from the bed. <br /> During planting gently crush the root mass with the fingers to stimulate root growth in the <br /> surrounding soil. Begin planting in the center of the bed and keep traffic in the worked soil to a <br /> minimum. Make the hole slightly larger than the root ball and set the plant at the same depth or <br /> slightly higher than it was growing in the container. Smooth out the soil around the plants after <br /> planting, including footprints. Water plants to a depth of 5 inches immediately after planting for <br /> 4" plant material (deeper for larger pots). <br /> Plants are to be rotated four times a year and are to be kept disease free and healthy on a <br /> consistent basis. There must be no dead or missing plants at any time and the beds must be kept <br /> in a weed free condition. Plants will be in 4" pots and will be planted in an 8" triangular spacing <br /> pattern. Rows must be in a straight alignment at the time of planting. Plant species that may be <br /> planted at different times of the year may include, but not be limited, to the following annual <br /> bedding plants as approved by the Director: <br /> <br /> • Spring/Summer - April through October 1 <br /> <br /> Alyssum, Lobelia, Salvia, Marigold, Gloriosa daisy, Penstemon, Cosmos, Dahlia, Impatiens, <br /> Begonias, Double Impatiens, Petunia, Verbena, Vinca rosea (periwinkle) Zinnias <br /> • Fall/Winter <br /> Iceland poppies, Pansies, Viola, Stock, Snapdragons, Primroses, Ranunculus <br /> <br /> Vandalism <br /> <br /> Contractor shall check annual color beds daily (Monday through Friday). If plants are <br /> missing or vandalized, the Contractor shall provide the City's representative with a <br /> proposal to replace missing/damaged plants. After the City's Representative signs the <br /> proposal, the Contractor shall then replant/replace missing/damaged plants within 48 <br /> hours. <br /> The City's contract administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the above <br /> specifications are met. The contract administrator shall also approve the types and <br /> combinations of color bedding plants prior to installation. <br /> <br /> <br /> 39 <br /> <br /> 251-49 <br />
