SCOPE OF WORK
The Jefferson Parish Department of Public Works - Parkways Department (Parkways) is soliciting qualified Contractors
for a two (2) year contract for turnkey landscape and chemical maintenance operations to include, but not be limited to,
grass cutting, weed control, weed eating, edging, blowing, trash and debris removal, mulch placement, changing of
annuals, sweeping, automatic irrigation maintenance, chemical applications and associated maintenance for the center
median of Veterans Boulevard from the City of Kenner line to the 17th Street canal. The scope of work shall include all
scheduled tasks outlined in these specifications. This shall include turnkey maintenance of the designated areas to
include all specified aspects of landscape maintenance. All pricing shall include the necessary equipment, incidentals,
licenses, insurance, labor, fuel and transportation to perform the work.
The Contractor shall refer to Resolution No. 136353, as amended, which provides a uniform set of "General Conditions
and Agreement for all contractors engaged in performing work or services for the Parish of Jefferson".
PERIOD OF AGREEMENT
The term of the contract shall be for two (2) years.
INVOICING
Bid pricing shall be provided on a monthly basis for the maintenance work outlined in these specifications. The
Contractor shall submit an invoice once per month based on the unit pricing, for a total of twenty-four (24) equal
payments for the life of the contract. Any approved incidental work shall be invoiced separately from the monthly
maintenance cost and can be submitted any time after the work is accepted as complete by Parkways. There is no
guaranteed quantity of any incidental bid items to be used for this contract. All bid items shall include all associated
costs related to the item such as labor, material, equipment, fuel, insurance and related incidentals.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
Liquidated damages may be assessed for missed and/or unsatisfactory work. The liquidated damages amount set forth
in these specifications is intended to represent a reasonable estimate of the damages anticipated to result from delay or
non-performance. At the time of contracting, actual damages may be difficult to calculate with certainty; therefore, the
stated amount reflects a good-faith effort to approximate likely costs and impacts associated with such delay. The
liquidated damages provision is not intended to operate as a penalty. The amount established bears a reasonable
relationship to the anticipated harm and is included solely to compensate for damages that are otherwise uncertain or
impracticable to quantify in advance.
Some scheduled maintenance items within the required specifications must be completed within a designated time
frame. These schedules are important to the overall appearance of the Site. Once a certain task begins, the Contractor
will have a set number of calendar days to complete the task to the satisfaction of the Jefferson Parish Parkways
Department. As designated within certain tasks, liquidated damages may be assessed in an amount of $200.00 per
calendar day for each day that the task remains incomplete. For example, mulch placement must be complete within
seven (7) calendar days. If the Contractor takes nine (9) calendar days to complete the task, he may be penalized up to
$400.00 for the delayed completion.
MANUFACTURERS
Wherever a brand name, make, manufacturer, model or catalog number is specified, it is used only to denote the quality
standard of the product desired and does not restrict bides to that brand or manufacturer. Such references are
intended solely to covey the general style, type, character and minimum quality of the product required. Equivalent
products may be acceptable if, in the Parish's sole discretion, they meet all specifications and project needs. Required
documentation for proposed equivalents shall be submitted in accordance with these specifications.
Page 3 of 26

Any prospective bidders wishing to submit as-equal products shall do so during the bid process. Products shall be
reviewed and approved or denied by the Parkways Department during the bid process. As-equal products submitted
after the bid process shall not be considered by the Parkways Department.
IMPROVED LOCATIONS
Improved locations shall refer to various locations along the Site containing a combination of landscape planting beds,
irrigation systems, sculptures, landscape walls and other decorative features. Improved locations shall require a more
intense maintenance program than unimproved locations. The additional maintenance shall include, but not be limited
to, weed pulling, shrub pruning, annual color change outs, in depth chemical and fertilization programs and additional
monitoring. The attached landscape and chemical application specifications shall define the work required. The
improved locations shall be as follows:

The entire Site (improved and unimproved areas) shall have the grass cut a minimum number of times. The frequency
shall be: a minimum of one (1) cut per every seven (7) days or once every week during the period of March 1 through
October 31, and one (1) time per every two (2) weeks or fourteen (14) calendar days during the period of November 1
through February 28 (29) for the entire contract period. The grass shall be cut to a height of between a minimum of 1"
(one inch) and a maximum of 2" (two inches) exposure. It is the Contractor's responsibility to visit each location to
determine the quantity of turf to be cut. A total of forty-three (43) cuts is required in calendar year.
Cutting shall be performed to such a manner to leave the Site with a smooth, level cut on the grass, conforming to the
existing grade. No gouging, scalping or similar actions shall be permitted. All trash and debris must be removed from
the Site prior to grass cutting.
In locations where turf meets mulch (bed areas and tree rings), the Contractor shall ensure a clean line around the
mulch. The Contractor may accomplish this utilizing a bed redefine, stick edger or weed eater. The Contractor shall
include this edge does not allow for chemical runoff into the turf, or any bare areas between the turf and mulch.
Grass cutting may be accomplished utilizing push mowing units or ride on mowing units depending on the areas to be
cut and the proximity of objects to the cutting areas. In constricted areas where a push type mower can be used, the
cutting of grass by use of a weed eater will be prohibited. Each mowing cycle shall be performed on Thursdays and/or
Fridays, weather permitting. No work shall be performed on Saturdays or Sundays without prior approval from the
Parkways Department.
This contract will require the Contractor to mow in close proximity to existing drainage canals. The Contractor will not
be required to mow the sloped portions of the drainage canal, but shall be required to cut up to the point of transition
of the canal slope. It shall be acceptable for the Contractor to use a mechanical weed eater to maintain this transition
area. It shall also be permissible for the Contractor to use a tractor (75 hp or less) and an implement to mow this area.
Each mowing cycle shall be completed in no more than two consecutive days. Weather related and unforeseen
circumstances preventing the Contractor from completing a mowing cycle within this time frame shall be immediately
reported to Jefferson Parish. Failure to complete mowing operations within this time period, or with too many days
between cycles, may result in a penalty (see LIQUIDATED DAMAGES).
WEED EATING
The entire Site (improved and unimproved areas) shall have the grass areas around any and all existing fixed features
including, but not limited to, signs, mow curbs (concrete bed edging), walls, light poles, fire hydrants, drains, manholes
and utilities shall be cut using a mechanical trimmer. Spraying will not be allowed around any hard surface. These areas
shall be cut to a 1" height and in a 24" diameter around all objects. Weed eating will not be allowed around any trees or
plant material where damage may occur to the bark or the trunk of the plant or tree. Spraying shall only be allowed
within a 12" diameter around properly mulched trees for the purpose of weed control. Weed eating shall occur at the
same time and frequency as grass cutting.
Page 8 of 26

AS-NEEDED WEED CONTROL
This contract includes a detailed pre-emergent chemical application program (improved and unimproved areas) to limit
visible weed growth. However, as-needed post emergent weed control will also be the responsibility of the Contractor
to ensure no weeds are visible in bed area, tree mulch rings, curbs & gutters, concrete islands, paver areas and the like.
Weed control is to include eradication of grassy weeds such as torpedo grass, broad leaves, and nutsedge. Products
such as Round-Up, Fusilade II, Image and Certainty may be used in post-emergent applications. Weed control and
spraying shall be performed by a licensed and qualified applicator in such a manner as to leave clean lines around all
areas that will be affected. Spraying around trees will be a 12" diameter from trunk of tree and be covered by mulch.
Spraying around other obstructions such as signs, fire hydrants, light poles and the like will not be allowed. Precautions
should be taken to avoid chemical drift by not spraying when wind is in excess of 5 mph. Weeds in all cracks and joints
in all paved surfaces including streets, curbs & gutters, parking areas, paver areas and walkways shall only be removed
by spraying. Spraying will not be allowed where a hard surface meets the edge of lawn. Spot spraying of weeds inside
of beds areas will be allowed as long as proper precaution is taken when applying the non-selective herbicide. Any
damage to the plant material as a result of spot spraying may lead to disallowance of future applications by the
Contractor. Chemical weed control shall occur at the same time and frequency as grass cutting.
AS-NEEDED HAND WEED REMOVAL
For improved areas, this activity will be limited primarily to garden and planted bed areas. Garden beds are to be weed
free at all times. Hand weeding shall not be required in turf areas and shall be used in conjunction with post emergent
weed control to ensure no visible weeds at all times.
EDGING
The entire Site (improved and unimproved areas) shall be edged with a mechanical (stick) edger where grass areas meet
surface paving whether it be concrete, asphalt, brick or some other paving type. The grass shall be edged and not
sprayed. Herbicides may not be used to control grass growth where grass and a paved surface meet. Edging equipment
shall be such that a clean, sharp line along the hard surface/grass interface shall remain upon completion of edging. A
minimum depth of 1" (one inch) shall remain along and below the top of hard surface paving upon completion of edging
in order to retard the continued growth of the grass. Edging needs to be done with stick edger or walk behind edger
with a metal or equivalent blade only. Mechanical weed eaters shall not be used for edging. Edging shall occur at the
same time and frequency as grass cutting.
SWEEPING
The entire Site (improved and unimproved areas) shall be swept in order to keep grass, leaves, smoking paraphernalia
butts and other debris and trash from collecting and building up. The Contractor will be required to sweep the areas
affected by the work, and all areas included within the boundaries of the Site conducted under the maintenance
contract including all turf, bed, concrete curbs & gutters, pavers areas and mow curbs. The sweeping shall be performed
immediately after each edging and grass cutting operation. The Contractor shall not be allowed to blow grass clippings,
dirt and debris into the street, canals or drain inlets.
Unless the Contractor scatters green debris across the travel lanes, sweeping shall only be required to take place along
the curb & gutter of the center median areas of the Veterans Boulevard. This includes any concrete and/paver islands
located within intersections and turning lanes. The Contractor shall not be allowed to blow any clippings into the
roadway. However, it shall still be the responsibility of the Contractor to sweep any grass clippings or debris located
within the roadway's travel lanes. Sweeping shall occur at the same time and frequency as grass cutting.
