Organic matter in the form of nitrified redwood must be incorporated to a depth of 8" of the top soil. The contract administrator II may adjust this if adequate organic matter is already present in the soil but the successfiil bidder must be prepared to incozporate 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 sail 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: • 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 replantlreplace missingldamaged 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. 25C-51 25C-52 At~achmen#: # 5 nn~n~o~?N~unn M/sslon: ~aucation IJr 1''0 lgfpro ve The quality of Nfe of prose who vlslt parks, blkoways, and public reergatfo»a/ fac!//f/es by provid/nq Pam Serv€ces D€v€s€on quality customer servJce M an atnasphere of continuous Parks, Recreat[on, and Community Services improver?tet?f and strop employee devehpmenf.

Careful study of these responses, has led to pruning practices, which best preseiwe 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 (deadldying) limbs need removal to eliminate all safety concerns. Safety pruning may be recommended in some circumstances instead of a complete prune. Safety pruning specifcations 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 Tine 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 tc•ee debris generated. b. Assuring good traffic control and minimize disruption of the public. 25C-65 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, Park Services Superintendent at 714/571-4212 Office or 714/23 i-6112 cell phone. 1.03 CERTIFIED ARBORIST The Contractor shall employee afull-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 natuxal 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. 25C-66 i. No more than twenty five (2S} 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 riee, decayed trunk or branches, shall be reported in writing, Hating the location of the tree by street address and a description of the hazard found in the tree. 1. The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, except palms #hat are more than sixty-five (6S) feet in height. m. Bene#icial animal, bird nests, nesting cavities or other wildlife habitat shall be preserved and protected whenever feasible, unless doing so would create a hazard. 1.OS 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 intea•ference with requirements of safe public passage.

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: • 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 • FalUWinter 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 missingldamaged 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. 25C-123 25C-124 Attachment #5 MEMaRANt'yUM Mlsslon: ~aucatton j~ f To /roprove the qua//ty of JNe or (hose who vIs/l parks, paw Services Division b/keways, and pubrrc recrw~tlona/ faclltles by p/evld/ng quarlty customor rerv/ce !h an atmosphere of conthruous i~arl~s, Recreation, and Community Services Jmprovementand stror{q empleyee developmen!

Careful study of these responses, has led to pruning practices, which best presezwe and enhance the beauty, structural integrity, and functional values of trees. In an effort to promote practices, which encourage the preserva#ion 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 pz~ning 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 far 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 ate 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 traffzc control and minimize disruption of the public. c. Assuring adequate safety of employees and the public. 25C-137 Prior to starting any tree work on an SAPRF tree, the Contractor must contact an authorized SAPRF representative. Contact Mike Lopez, Park Services Superintendent at 714IS71-4212 Office or 714/231-6112 cell phone. 1.03 CERTIFIED ARBORIST The Contractor shall employee afull-time, permanently certified arborist, as accredited by the International Societe 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 tc•ee 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.
