Additionally, the City has the right not to renew the agreement if the contractor fails to deliver the work specified. TERMS AND CONDITIONS IYW1311 The term of this contract shall commence the date of City Council award and approval of all insurance and bonds, and terminate MONTH, DAY, YEAR, unless earlier terminated as set forth in Section H, below. City is hereby granted an option to renew for up to four (4) additional one -year terms on the terms and conditions set forth herein. Said options shall be exercised in writing at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the initial term or any extension thereof. CONTINUED FUNDING In the event funding is not allocated for parking control enforcement services during the annual budget approval process, the City shall notify the provider of such occurrence in writing at least thirty (30) days before the end of the current fiscal period, and contract shall terminate on the last day of current fiscal period without penalty or expense to the City TERMINATION The City reserves the right to terminate the contract as follows: In the event contractor fails or refuses to timely perform any of the provisions of this agreement in the manner required, or if contractor violates any provision of this agreement, contractor shall be deemed in default. City shall provide written notice of such default to contractor's project manager. Contractor shall cure said default within a period of two (2) working days. If such cure is not completed in a timely manner, City may assess liquidated damages or terminate the agreement forthwith by giving written notice to contractor's project manager. City may, in addition to the other remedies provided in this agreement or authorized by law, terminate this agreement by giving written notice of termination. Contractor shall be responsible for all costs incurred by City, including replacement costs of equipment and labor required to provide service during contractor's default. In the event of such termination for cause, City shall pay contractor that portion of compensation specified in the agreement that is earned and unpaid prior to the effective date of termination. Contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation for lost profits it terminated for cause. This agreement may be terminated without cause by City upon thirty (30) days written notice delivered to the contractor either personally or by mail.

In addition to, or in lieu of, remedies provided in this agreement or pursuant to law, City shall have the right to withhold all or a portion of contractor's compensation for contract services if, in the judgment of the projects manager or designee, the level of service falls below appropriate standards and/or contractor fails to satisfactorily perform contract services. City shall have the right to retain funds withheld until the City projects manager or designee determines that contract services are performed as well and as frequently as required by this agreement. CONTRACTOR OPTION FOR TERMINATION The contractor may request termination of the contract when conditions during the contract make it impossible to perform or when prevented from proceeding with the contract by act of God, by law or official action of a public authority or in the event on nonpayment by the City. Such request will require one - hundred eighty (180) days written notice prior to contract termination date requested. In the event of nonpayment of undisputed sums by the City, contractor shall give the City thirty (30) working days to cure the alleged breach. 2 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES If the City determines that the contractor breaches its promise to provide services in compliance with the Terms and Conditions of applicable laws and regulations, and the specifications set forth above, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine the damage to City arising from such breach. The Director or his designated representative shall regularly inspect the parks, playgrounds, fields and all other City property subject to this Agreement. If said inspection results in discovery of work that is not performed in the manner, and to the professional degree set forth in the Specifications, Contractor agrees that the City shall deduct from Contractor's next monthly payment, the City's actual or estimated cost of performing the work to bring the property into conformance with the specifications. Additionally, City shall impose liquidated damages of $100 to $300.00 per inspection, per park, per day not meeting the specifications during any such inspection. 3.

Circular or figure eight drag patterns shall be used (see details 1 -A & 1 -13). Alternate drag patterns or reverse direction of drag patterns daily to avoid ruts and high /low areas. Speed of drag procedure shall not exceed 7 mph. 7.5.5 When dragging the skinned infield, the contractor shall stay away from all turf edges a minimum of 18 ". This will help in avoiding lips at brickdust/turf edges. This 18' gap shall also apply to all backstops and chain link fence areas. 7.5.6 Contractor shall hand rake all base paths on combination turf /brickdust infields. 7.5.7 When the dragging process is complete, the contractor shall stop the drag in a different location daily. This will stop the accumulation of brickdust in focused areas. At this time roll -up the drag, place it on the vehicle and remove all debris accumulated in the drag at this spot and rake out material emptied from drag. 7.5.8 After dragging, hand rake the 18" edges using the "grade or grooming rake ". The rake shall be held at an angle as to not push brickdust onto /into turf areas. 7.5.9 After raking the 18" edges, the contractor shall clean all excess brickdust on the turf edges utilizing a high pressure water nozzle or heavy duty broom. NO brickdust shall be permitted on the turf edges at any time. If in the determination of City staff, an unsafe lip situation exists (an unsafe lip is' /" or greater) in any turf /brickdust border area infield to brickdust, base -paths or brickdust to outfield), contractor will be required to remove or level the soil build -up with a sod cutter and re- establish the in -field boundaries with a string line or suitable method and re -sod up to the border to remedy the situation at contractors expense. Pre - existing conditions shall be corrected during contract start -up. 7.6 Final Watering 7.6.1 This is the most time consuming and a very important element of the procedure. 7.6.2 The contractor shall final water the skinned brickdust to a depth of Y4" minimum. 8.0 Rainy Weather/Wet Field Procedure 8.1 On the next scheduled working day after a rainfall, the following procedure, in the order listed, shall be adhered to: 8.1.1 Remove all standing water from low spots either by skimming off excess water and spreading it out to dry areas or using a pump /sopper system. 8.1.2 Rake out (scarify) wet areas. 8.1.3 Apply Stabilizer Solutions Stabilizer Gold Infield Mix (with stabilizer) from stock to all Wet Areas and Rake Out.

Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 39 ATTACHMENT ANNUAL COLOR PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATION Before each annual planting the area should be tilled 8 to 16 inches deep. Organic matter in the form of nitrified redwood must be incorporated to a depth of 8" of the top soil. The contract administrator may adjust this if adequate organic matter is already present in the soil but the successful bidder must be prepared to incorporate this organic matter at every color rotation. Organic matter must comprise 25% of the soil volume where the roots will be. This requires 2" of nitrified redwood tilled to an 8" depth. Apply 1.5 pounds of nitrogen per 1000 sq. ft. as a complete low nitrogen material with a ratio of 1:2:1, 1:1:1, 1:2:2 or similar. Do not use a higher rate of nitrogen as this may result in excessive vegetative growth and a suppression of flowering. After establishment, fertilize as necessary to maintain a robust appearance and maximum flowering. After incorporating organic material and other supplements, the beds must be raked smooth and slightly mounded. Sticks clods and other material must be removed from the bed. During planting gently crush the root mass with the fingers to stimulate root growth in the surrounding soil. Begin planting in the center of the bed and keep traffic in the worked soil to a minimum. Make the hole slightly larger than the root ball and set the plant at the same depth or slightly higher than it was growing in the container. Smooth out the soil around the plants after planting, including footprints. Water plants to a depth of 5 inches immediately after planting for 4" plant material (deeper for larger pots). Plants are to be rotated four times a year and are to be kept disease free and healthy on a consistent basis. There must be no dead or missing plants at any time and the beds must be kept in a weed free condition. Plants will be in 4" pots and will be planted in an 8" triangular spacing pattern. Rows must be in a straight alignment at the time of planting. Plant species that may be planted at different times of the year may include, but not be limited, to the following annual bedding plants as approved by the Director: f Spring /Summer —April through October 1 Alyssum, Lobelia, Salvia, Marigold, Gloriosa daisy, Penstemon, Cosmos, Dahlia, Impatiens, Begonias, Double Impatiens, Petunia, Verbena, Vinca rosea (periwinkle) Zinnias • Fall/Winter Iceland poppies, Pansies, Viola, Stock, Snapdragons, Primroses, Ranunculus Vandalism Contractor shall check annual color beds daily (Monday through Friday). If plants are missing or vandalized, the Contractor shall provide the City's representative with a proposal to replace missing /damaged plants. After the City's Representative signs the proposal, the Contractor shall then replant/replace missing /damaged plants within 48 hours. The City's contract administrator shall be the sole judge of whether the above specifications are met. The contract administrator shall also approve the types and combinations of color bedding plants prior to installation. Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 40 ATTACHMENT TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS 1.00 INTRODUCTION Trees and other woody plants respond in specific and predictable ways to pruning and other maintenance practices. Careful study of these responses, has led to pruning practices, which best preserve and enhance the beauty, structural integrity, and functional values of trees. In an effort to promote practices, which encourage the preservation of tree structure and health, the following policies have been established. These specifications are presented as working guidelines, recognizing that trees are individually unique in form and structure, and that their pruning needs may not always fit strict rules. 1.01 OVERVIEW OF SPECIFICATIONS Any tree work performed in the City of Santa Ana Park and Recreation Facilities ( SAPRF) must be done according to the SAPRF specifications. There are different criteria for pruning depending on the purpose for the pruning. a. Complete Prune Specifications are used when circumstances deem the entire tree needs to be fully pruned. b. Safety Prune Specifications require less pruning and are used when specific, possibly hazardous (dead /dying) limbs need removal to eliminate all safety concerns. Safety pruning may be recommended in some circumstances instead of a complete prune. Safety pruning specifications are used for "as needed" pruning as outlined above and address only safety concerns. Safety pruning includes only the basic requirements and does not include the fine pruning detail work outlined in a complete prune. c. Power Line Clearance Prune (PLC) Specifications are used for private tree power line clearance work and for street tree (PLC) pruning when the tree is pruned between its periodic complete pruning cycles. d. Palm Pruning Specifications are used when pruning any type of palm. All specifications are based on International Society of Arboriculture, National Arborist Association and American National Standards Institute criteria. This guarantees that SAPRF trees receive the best possible care. 1.02 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The following requirements shall be used during any pruning work to be performed on SAPRF trees: a. Proper disposal of all tree debris generated. b. Assuring good traffic control and minimize disruption of the public. c. Assuring adequate safety of employees and the public. Prior to starting any tree work on an SAPRF tree, the Contractor must contact an authorized SAPRF representative. Contact Mike Lopez, Sr. Park Services Supervisor at (714)571 -4212 Office or (714) 231 -6112 cell phone. 1.03 CERTIFIED ARBORIST Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 41 The Contractor shall employee a full -time, permanently certified arborist, as accredited by the International Society of Arboriculture. This person is responsible for ensuring that the Contractor's crews are performing work according to SAPRF specifications. 1.04 SPECIFIC TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS a. All persons performing tree work on SAPRF trees must be trained according to tree care standards accepted by the International Society of Arboriculture. b. All persons performing tree work on SAPRF trees in or around primary electrical lines must be trained to do so according to the "Electrical Safety Orders" of the State of California, including all amendments and revisions. c. When tree pruning cuts are made to a side limb, such remaining limb must possess a basal thickness of at least one third (1/3) of the diameter of the wound so affected. Such cuts shall be considered proper only when such remaining limb is vigorous enough to maintain adequate foliage to produce wood growth capable of callusing the pruning cut so affected within a reasonable amount of time. d. All final tree pruning cuts shall be made in such a manner so as to favor the earliest possible covering of the wound by natural callus growth. Flush cuts, which produce large wounds or weaken the tree at the cut, shall not be made. The branch collar shall not be removed. e. Tree limbs shall be removed and controlled in such a manner as to cause no damage to other parts of the tree, or to other plants or property. f. All tools used on a tree known to contain an infectious tree disease shall be properly disinfected immediately before and after completing work on such tree. All major diseases and /or pest problems shall be promptly reported to an authorized SAPRF representative. g. All cutting tools and saws used in tree pruning shall be kept sharpened to result in final cuts with smooth wood surface and secure bark remaining intact. All trees six (6) inches in diameter or less shall be pruned with hand tools only. Chain saws will not be permitted on any trees six (6) inches in diameter or less. This is to prevent any unnecessary abrasions to cambial tissue that may predispose a tree to insect and /or disease problems. h. Whenever pruning cuts are to be made, while removing limbs too large to hold securely in one hand during the cutting operation, the limbs shall be cut off first, one (1) to two (2) feet beyond the intended final cut. Then the final cut shall be made in a manner to prevent unnecessary tearing back of the bark and wood. Such cutting back shall not include the removal of any live, healthy limbs in excess of six (6) inches in diameter without prior approval from an authorized SAPRF representative. I. No more than twenty five (25) percent of the live wood may be removed from the crown of any tree, without approval of an authorized SAPRF representative, excepting live oaks, which are limited to no more than ten (10) percent. Resulting in keeping as much of the crown of the tree as possible. j. Any extraneous metal, wire, rubber or other material (i.e. stakes, ties) interfering with tree growth shall be removed immediately. k. Any defective or weakened trees shall be reported to an authorized SAPRF representative. Specifically, any structural weakness of a tree, decayed trunk or branches, shall be reported in writing, noting the location of the tree by street address and a description of the hazard found in the tree. Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 42 I. The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, except palms that are more than sixty -five (65) feet in height. m. Beneficial animal, bird nests, nesting cavities or other wildlife habitat shall be preserved and protected whenever feasible, unless doing so would create a hazard. 1.05 COMPLETE TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS Complete tree pruning shall consist of the total removal of dead or living branches that may threaten the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner as to: a. Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe public passage. Over street clearance shall be kept to a minimum of sixteen (16) feet above the paved surface of the street, fifteen (15) feet above the curb and eight (8) feet above the surface of a public sidewalk or pedestrian way. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. b. Remove all dead and dying branches and branch stubs that are one half (1/2) inch diameter or larger. c. Remove all broken or loose branches. d. Remove any live branches, which interfere with the tree's structural strength, and healthful development, which will include the following: 1) Branches of weak structure, which are not important to the framework of the tree. 2) Branches, which if allowed to grow, would wedge apart the junction of more important branches. 3) Branches forming multiple leaders in a single leader type tree. 4) Branches near the end of a limb, which will produce more weight or offer more resistance to wind than the limbs are likely to support. 5) Selective removal of undesirable sucker and sprout growth paying specific attention not to nick or damage the sprout "burl ". 6) Selective removal of one or more developing leaders where multiple branch growth exists near the end of broken or stubbed limbs. 7) Selective removal of limbs obstructing buildings or other structures or traffic signs. Generally, limbs closer than five (5) feet to a building or other structure should be removed unless doing so would severely damage a tree. 8) Removal of branches, which project too far outward beyond an otherwise symmetrical form. e. Cut back ends of branches and reduce weight where excessive overburden appears likely to result in breakage of supporting limbs. f. Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a minimum height of eight (8) feet above ground level. Exceptions are allowed for young trees, which would be irreparably damaged by such pruning action. g. Obtain a balanced appearance when viewed from the opposite side of the street immediately opposite the tree, unless authorized by an SAPRF representative to do otherwise. h. Remove all vines entwined in trees and on tree trunks. Vine tendrils shall be removed without injury to said trees. Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 43 Clear all branches and foliage within ten (10) feet of primary electrical lines and three (3) to five (5) feet of secondary electrical lines. Clear all branches that interfere with telephone, cable and other utility lines within one (1) foot of lines, wherever feasible. 1.06 SAFETY TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS Safety tree pruning shall consist of the total removal of dead or living branches that may menace the future health, strength and attractiveness of trees. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner to: a. Prevent branch and foliage interference with requirements of safe public passage.

Remove all broken or loose branches. d. Removing any live branches, which interfere with the tree's structural strength and healthful development, will include the following: 1) Limbs of weak structure or otherwise hazardous. 2) Selective removal of limbs obstructing Generally, limbs closer than five (5) feet to a unless doing so would severely damage a tree. 3) Clear trees of sprout or sucker growth to a level. Exceptions are allowed for young tree: pruning action. buildings or other structures or traffic signs. building or other structure should be removed minimum height of eight (8) feet above ground which would be irreparably damaged by such 1.07 POWER LINE CLEARANCE (PLC) PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS When trees are in the proximity of overhead energized lines and equipment, reliability of service, safety, and governmental standards require a reasonable amount of tree pruning to avoid conductor contacts and grounding of circuits through the trees. Power line clearance pruning, therefore, shall consist of the removal of tree branches for proper electric line clearance in order to minimize the likelihood of power outages and improve safety. Specifically, trees shall be pruned in such a manner as to: a. Clear all branches and foliage within ten (10) feet of primary electrical lines. b. Clear all branches that interfere with secondary electric lines within three (3) to five (5) feet. c. Protect current tree health, condition and symmetry using Dr. Alex Shigo's book, Pruning Trees Near Electric Utility Lines as a guide. During the tree pruning process, all safe minimum working distances for energized conductors shall be observed. These clearances are defined under ANSI Z133.1 -1994. Current ANSI specifications will supersede these requirements when they take effect. Any contact with energized lines shall be promptly reported to an authorized SAPRF representative. Access to backyards must be closely coordinated with the property owner, whenever feasible. Spikes Districts 1 and 3 Park Landscape RFP Page 44 may be used for PLC pruning on palms or other trees only when needed for proper safety reasons. 1.08 PALM PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS Palm pruning shall include, but not be limited to, the pruning of the following palms (Syagrus romanzoffianum (queen palm), Archontophoenix cunninghamiana (king palm), Phoenix Canariensis (Canary Island date palm), Phoenix Dactylifera (date palm), Washingtonia filifera (California fan palm); and Washingtonia Robusta (Mexican fan palm) per these specifications. a.

The shape shall not exceed a minimum of forty -eight (48) inches or a maximum of sixty- (60) inches length below the green fronds. The trunk when pruning operations are complete shall be left in a clean, unscathed appearance throughout the entire length of the palm trunk. Canary Island date palms shall be pruned using a sterilized handsaw. The handsaw must be cleaned and sterilized before and after pruning each tree. e. All volunteer palm seedlings must be removed that are growing within the streets, parkways, or setback dedicated areas. 1.09 UNACCEPTABLE PRUNING The following procedures, or others that will result in tree decline, are not allowed (storm damage and other extenuating circumstances exempted): a. Severe cutting back of all growing tips usually referred to as topping, pollarding, or hat racking. b. Flush cutting where a cut is made even with the surface of the trunk or limb, removing the branch collar and branch bark ridge. c. Stub cutting where branch removal results in the base of branch removed protruding more than approximately one fourth (1/4) inch beyond the zone of branch collar and branch bark ridge. d. Removal of a healthy main leader, for reasons other than power line clearance. e. Excessive cutting or lifting that exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture or SAPRF standards. 1.10 DAMAGE TO PUBLIC OR PRIVATE PROPERTY Should any structure or property be damaged during the tree pruning operations, the persons conducting the work shall immediately notify the proper owners and an authorized SAPRF representative. Repairs to property damaged by the responsible party shall be made within forty -eight (48) hours, except utility lines, which shall be repaired the same working day.
