D. END DATE

notification by the Director of Public Works.
E. FREQUENCY /HEIGHT OF CUT
The routine mowing height shall be two and one-half (2-1/2) inches in the spring

three (3) inches during June, July and August but only after directed to do so by the Director
of Public Works or his designee.
The turf mowing schedule shall be established on a weekly schedule. Mowing intervals of
greater than seven (7) days must be approved by the Director of Public Works or his
designee. Failure of the Contractor to maintain a consistent weekly mowing schedule shall
be just cause to terminate the contract.
If the Borough of Florham Park determines, in its sole discretion, that the scheduled interval
between mowing needs to be increased due to reduced growing conditions (e.g., drought)
or shortened due to excessive grass growth, the Contractor will be notified by the Director
of Public Works and must accommodate the Borough.
In addition, the Contractor must accommodate the scheduling needs of the Borough of
Florham Park in providing facilities for public usage by modifying mowing schedules to
facilitate special events, reservations and programs. The Director of Public Works will
provide the Contractor with as much advance notice as possible in these cases.
F. DATES/TIME OF MOWING

G. TRIMMING
In addition to mowing turf areas, trimming around all obstacles and turf grass edges
shall be performed weekly, at the time the mowing is performed. Trimming shall be
accomplished with appropriate equipment such as hand push mowers, nylon line
trimmers and so forth.
H. QUALITY STANDARDS
Equipment: All mowing/trimming equipment shall be maintained in order to provide the
sharpest and cleanest cut of the individual grass blades. All equipment shall be maintained
to avoid scalping of turf. Evidence of dull cutting blades, uneven or scalped cuts may result
in the Contractor having to correct these problems at his own expense at the direction of
the Director of Public Works Director.
Appearance and Clipping Removal: See Section I for additional information related to turf
aesthetics, appearance and cultural impacts of mowing operation.
I.
CLIPPINGS
Grass clippings shall not be collected and may be left in place in all areas other than
inside the pool unless excessive growth, determined by Staff, has occurred and leaving
clippings will result in an unsightly or unhealthy situation for the turf at which time the
clippings shall be collected and disposed of offsite by the
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Continued
Contractor at his own expense. The Borough of Florham Park will not provide a disposal
site.
If grass has grown to length where the Contractor must remove and dispose of clippings,
then the turf cutting height may be increased (to reduce the length of the clipping) and the
turf cut at more frequent intervals gradually lowering the height of the cut until the desired
height is reached. This option must be approved by the Director of Public Works prior to
its use by the Contractor. If this situation has been caused by failure of the Contractor to
perform on a timely basis, extra cuttings will be at the expense of the Contractor.
Mowing operations conducted during periods when grass is wet from rain or dew that
result in clumping and/or uneven distribution of clippings shall be corrected by a method
and appearance to the satisfaction of the Director of Public Works at the contractor's
expense.
The contractor shall be solely responsible for the labor, equipment and costs associated
with extra cuttings, clipping removal, and/or other remedies related to clippings
management and quality standards if the needs for extra cuttings have been caused by the
contractor's failure to perform on a timely basis.
J.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
All safety devices, guards, covers or other features required at the time of equipment
manufacture shall be in place and operational at all times. No attempts should be made to
operate any equipment without these devices. Equipment must meet all current OSHA
and/or other applicable regulations.
All equipment and supplies are to be used in a safe and proper manner. In the event of an
accident, the Contractor is required to notify the Director of Public Works and the Borough
of Florham Park Police IMMEDIATELY.
No Contractor owned equipment shall be stored on site.
K. SAFETY PROCEDURES
Mowing and trimming equipment should be recognized as a potential hazard. Operators
should use extreme caution both for themselves, other crew members, the public, staff and
any adjacent object.
The Contractor shall bring any hazardous condition noted on the property to the attention
of the Director of Public Works as soon as possible after noting such conditions.
1. The Contractor shall inspect the areas to be cut prior to cutting for loose debris, trash,
raised sprinkler heads, etc. Any object missed in this initial inspection shall be removed
ahead of the mowing machinery. This will involve shutting down the machine, removing
the object and resuming operation.

and other ornamental plantings with mowing equipment.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS - Continued

operator to continuously scan all immediately adjacent areas, including front, rear and
sides.

unattended while it is running. In the event the mowing machine must be left
unattended, the operator shall disengage the cutting units, shut off the machine and
remove the key.

trimming equipment when the cutting unit is engaged or operating.
(Note: Items 1-4 pertain to all types of cutting equipment: rotary, flail, reel, etc.).

should be accorded the same respect and safety precautions as standard cutting
equipment. Line trimmers must be operated with the cutting head kept well away from
all persons and objects.
