on a weekly basis, and some Rights -of -Way being maintained biweekly. That is just informational, <br />it does not mean that this new contract is going to be the same thing. It just gives you what the <br />current contract is, because we may decide to modify some of these, make some probably more red, <br />or as opposed to biweekly, maybe doing it weekly. <br />As part of the Atlas we also have Tree Locations. The tree trimming which is the purpose of this <br />Atlas is for locations of trees that are going to be trimmed. There is a total quantity on the Atlas and <br />it shows exactly where the trees are located. You have to take this Atlas and when you do a <br />maintenance of Park or Right -of -Way include the price of tree trimming, three (3) times a year for <br />your maintenance of Parks, Rights -of -Way, Beach Accesses, whatever it might be for tree trimming. <br />He is not talking about hedges or edging, he is talking about actually making 10 to 2, and removing <br />the coconuts and dates, anything that can grow in the terms of a fruit. That gets all removed, and so <br />that is not specifically in any category, that is embedded in Section L to be used for all the <br />locations. We have given you the entire Atlas with all the locations of the trees and have to be <br />trimmed and pruned. <br />We have some grass that is in Heritage Park, it is Bermuda Grass, and they have to be mowed a <br />certain way. In Section L you will see the method of mowing for Bermuda Grass. He knows it is a <br />little more expensive to maintain Bermuda Grass than it would be St. Augustine, and so please <br />include in your maintenance prices, make sure you acknowledge and understand that the <br />maintenance of some of these are more specific and they are in Section L. <br />The deadline for submission of Request for Proposals documents is Tuesday, January 10, 2012, at <br />10:00 a.m., at which time those sealed responses will be publicly opened.

Whatever the type of work goes into the Park you should put it on Section L within the price <br />of the Park? <br />No. In the RFP you will have E.1 for example. Let's say E.1 is Government Center, <br />which it is not. Government Center has a parking lot, a median, adjacent landscaping, <br />we have Tony Roma. Section E alone is only going to tell you that you have to do the <br />daily cleanup, you have to do litter, trimming, edging, and Section L is going to tell you <br />how to do it. And so, you are not going to have a Section E without using Section L to <br />tell you how to provide that maintenance. Section L is your general technical <br />specifications on all of the maintenance. <br />2. And so Section L is the section that covers if you have to do drenching, if you have to do <br />fertilization, all of those things apply to Section E. <br />Exactly, it applies to Parks, Rights -of -Way, beach, and beach accesses. Section L <br />applies to everything. <br />And so on top of the specifications for each section, we also have to go to Section L and read <br />Mandatory Pre - Submittal Conference QA 122811.doc Page 4 of 7 <br />
