<br />PART III - EXECUTION
<br />3.1 PREPARATION FOR RELOCATION OF TREES AND PALMS
<br />A. Crown Pruning
<br />1. Broadleaf Trees -All bees are to be trimmed by thinning the crown only, and not by
<br />reducing crown dimensions. Trim to conform to NAA and ISA standards, including removal
<br />of dead wood. Repair any existing injuries to trees including caysbs and machinery marks.
<br />2. Palms - Remove all seed pods and lowest fronds, leaving 9.11 youngest fronds. For
<br />Swat Palms only, cut back all fronds in a'hunicane cul' prior to transplanting unless specified
<br />otherwise In the field by the landscape architect.
<br />B. Fertilization and Watering
<br />1. Preparation
<br />a. All Trees and Palms lobe relocated shall be treated with walling agents, fertilizers,
<br />fool stimulants, and sail conditioners at the lime of relocation. See speeHlcation 02920.
<br />b. Form and maintain an earth berm 6' high outads the proposed root bell prior to
<br />watering and apply 3- approved mulch within saucer. Water application shall
<br />saturate the root ball to its entire depth.
<br />C. Root Pruning
<br />1. Wearing
<br />All Imes and palms to be relocated are to be provided with an oulomatle irrigation
<br />syslem which provides 2 bubbler heads to each bee and palm. prior to root pruning.
<br />Provide urgalion timer, or battery powered valve to water trees to be relocated. Hand
<br />watering in lieu of automatic system shall not be allowed, however hand misting shall be
<br />performed to avoid lapses should the automatic system be inoparablo for mono than 24
<br />hours and during the initial planting period as specified.
<br />2. Barricades
<br />Barricade all existing bees and palms with six fool (61 chain link fence or other barricade
<br />approved by Owner.
<br />Root Pruning Technique -Ali trees shall be mmated bydgging a trench 36' deep,
<br />olther by hand or with a trenching machine designed for this purpose. Hand cut broadleaf
<br />tree roots agar trenching to produce clean cuts with no spite or tears. Trees to be root
<br />pruned shall have a minimum root ball size of 10' per 1' of caliper measured at DBH for
<br />broad leer Imes, 30" for Sabal Palms, 42' for Coconut Palma, Sabal palms shall not require
<br />roof pruning.
<br />Timing -AII broadleaf trees are to be relocated shall be maintained fora minimum of item
<br />(10) weeks after rapt pruning prior to reocaton. All palms except Sabal Palms, shall be:
<br />maintained a minimum of four (4) weeks prior to mocatan.
<br />3.2 RELOCATION OF TREES AND PALMS
<br />A. Preparation - Trees and palms shall be thoroughly soaked to the full depth of the root
<br />ball daily for seven consecutive days prior to relocation. Accurately locate position and
<br />elevation where all trees are intended to be planted, for verification by Landscape
<br />Architect. Verily that no overhead or underground utilities, existing or proposed, conllicl
<br />with proposed krcalions.
<br />B. Digging and Handling
<br />Determine line of previous root pruning and excavale around root mass to leave area
<br />outside line of root pruning undisturbed. Digging shall be accomplished was to
<br />produce clean cuts on all roots without tearing or splitting. Trenching shall be a minimum of
<br />48' deep.
<br />Trees shall be handled in such a way as to avoid damage to bark and limbs subject to
<br />support cables or chains. Attach padded support cables or chains at multiple points
<br />where possible.
<br />Root balls shall be undercut prior to lifting. Do not force tree from ground prior to
<br />undercutting. Ball depth to be determined upon assessing conditions at time of trenching,
<br />to keep intact the entire root ball.
<br />Trees shall be properly wrapped during moving so trunks will not be scarred and damaged
<br />and to avoid broken limbs. Broken limbs or scarred trunks shat cause time to be
<br />unacceptable and rejected at the Owner's option. Root balls and foliage shall be kept
<br />moist during all phases of relocation.
<br />Partially backfill tree pits with IT of approved planting soil prior to selling tree. This
<br />layer of soil to be thoroughly drenched prier to relocation to achieve a stable platform
<br />al the correct elevation so that the lop of root ball is V above proposed grade.
<br />Backfilling - Flood bottom foil layer to settle tree into best position and to remove air
<br />pockets. Continue to flood root ball as planting soil is deposited to insure removal of all
<br />air pockets. Produce saucer to retain water per drawings.
<br />Bracing - Support tree with machinery until bracing is complete. Buttresses may support
<br />separate bunks on multiple trunk trees. Maintain braces until completion of project.
<br />Irrigation - Install bubbler heads on all trees and palms. Connect each free's system
<br />Immediately to water source. Additionally, all transplanted Imes and palms shall be hand
<br />watered daily for - period of six (6) weeks after transplanting. The irrigation system is
<br />designed for mainfaining plant material only, and does not provide the volume of water
<br />required immediately after transplanting. Set time to run daily, to provide an equNalenl of
<br />V of rain per week for 30 days, then reduce to equivalent of 3' per week.
<br />C. Holding Are.
<br />A holding area shall be provided specifically designated for storage and acclimatization
<br />of relocated trees and palms that are to be relocated in later project phases, or in the
<br />current phase. The holding area shall be of sufficient size to allow for temporary planting
<br />of Imes and palms without undue crowding.
<br />Holding area shall be provided with a temporary automatic Irrigation system, and shall be
<br />excavated and provided with a soil layer a minimum of 30' deep. Irrigation shall be
<br />monitored and supplemented as necessary to provide water in volumes sufficient for
<br />growth.
<br />3 PROTECTION AND CARE OF EXISTING TREES AND PALMS TO REMAIN
<br />Watering - Existing irrigation shall remain operable to the greatest extent possible during
<br />construction. All on site trees to remain shall be supplied with temporary irrigation (.remain
<br />operable until permanent irrigation is operable. Existing irrigation system to be demolished mr
<br />be utilized as the temporary irrigation system.
<br />Barricading - Barricade all existing trees and palms with six foot (6') chain link fence or other
<br />barricade approved by Owner. Barricades shall be installed at an offset distance two feel (2')
<br />outside the tree drip linatedge of tree canopy to the extent practical, prior to any construction
<br />activity.
