contracted out for landscape maintenance. The Parks, Recreation and
Community Services Agency currently divides the City into four separate
park maintenance districts. District 2 is maintained by Merchants
Landscape Services, and District 4 is maintained by Master Landscape.
The two proposed agreements will provide landscape maintenance services
in Districts 1 and 3, which are currently maintained by part-time City
staff (see Attachment A) Diversified Maintenance Services (DMS) will
maintain District 1, which has five parks, and Mariposa Landscape will
maintain District 3, which has eight parks. These two proposed
landscape agreements will allow the agency to keep these parks looking
green and clean.

Before each annual planting the area should be tilled 8 to 1 b 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 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.

TREE PR LINING SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 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 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

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:
• 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.

TREE PRUNING SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 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 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. Ali 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 fiom an authorized SAPRF representative.
i. No more than twenty five (2S) percent of the live wood may be removed fiom 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.
25C-138
j. Any extraneous metal, wire, rubber or other material (i.e. stakes, ties) interfering with tree
growth shall be removed immediately. j
I
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 waiting, noting 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 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 of 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, which rub and abrade a more important branch.
2) Branches of weak structure, which are not important to the framework of the tree.
3) Branches, which if allowed to gaow, would wedge apart the junction of more important
branches.
4) Branches forming multiple leaders in a single leader type tree.
5) Branches near the end of a limb, which will produce more weight or offer more
resistance to wind than the Iimbs are likely to support.
6) Selective removal of undesirable sucker and sprout growth paying specific attention not
to nick or damage the sprout "burl".
7} Selective removal of one or more developing leaders where multiple branch growth
exists near the end of broken or stubbed limbs.
25C-139
8) Selective removal of limbs obstructing buildings ox 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.
9) 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 frees 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.
i. Clear all branches and foliage within ten (10} feet of primary electrical lines and three (3}
to five (5) feet of secondary electrical lines.
j. 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. 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 dead and dying branches and branch stubs that aze two (2) inches in diameter or
more.
c. 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:
- Limbs of weak structure or otherwise hazardous.
- Selective removal of Iimbs obstructing buildings or other structures or traffic signs.
Generally, Iimbs closer than five (5) feet to a building or• other structure should be
removed unless doing so would severely damage a tree.
25C-140
- 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.
1.07 POWER LINE CLEARANCE (PLCI PRUNING SPECIFICATIO_
NS
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 2133.1-1994. 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 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 consist of 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 removal of all dead fronds and other dead plant parts from the trunk. All loose frond
sheaths shall be removed along the entire length of the palm trunk.
b. The removal of all flowers and fruit parts whether dead or alive.
c. The use of climbing spurs or spike shoes in the act of pruning trees is prohibited, excepting
palms that are more than sixty-fve (65) feet in height.
d. Canary Island date palm (Phoenix Canariensis) trunks shall be cleaned of any weed species.
The immediate area below the green fronds shall be trimmed to a symmetrical (pineapple)
appearance. 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.
25C-141
e. All volun#eer palm seedlings must be removed that are growing within the streets,
parkways, or setback dedicated areas.
i.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 alI 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 Ieader, for reasons other than power line clearance.
e. Excessive cutting or lifting that exceeds the International Society of Arboriculture or
SAPRF standards.
I.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.
Repairs on private property shall be made in accordance with the appropriate building code
under permits issued by the City of Santa Ana. Any damage caused by the Con#ractors
employees shall be repaired or restored by them at #heir expense #o a condition similar or equal
#o that existing before such damage or injury, or they shall repair such damage in a manner
acceptable to the Ci#y of Santa Ana and/or SAPRF. Special attention is drawn to sprinkler
systems in City landscapes and the need to avoid damage. All damage to irrigation systems
shall be repaired as soon as possible at Contractors expense.
1.11 WORK PERFORMED ON PRIVATE PROPERTY
No SAPRF contracted tree worker shall perform work upon private property without the
written consent of the property owner and an authorized SAPRF representative.
