Rolling: Immediately after completion of the seeding, the entire grassed or mulched area shall be rolled thoroughly with the equipment specified. At least two trips over the entire area will be required. Watering: Newly seeded areas are not to be watered to force the seed germination, but only to sustain grass growth. Water will only be used on vegetated areas when permitted by the Engineer, Operations on Steep Slopes: On steep slopes when mulching is called for, the mulch material may be anchored down in lieu of being cut into the soil by use of a machine. Anchoring may be done by either of the following methods: 1. Placing a layer of soil, approximately two inches thick by nine inches wide, along the upper limits of the mulch, and spotting soil piles over the rest of the area at a maximum spacing of four feet. 2. Spreading a string net over the mulch, using stakes driven flush with the top of the mulch, at six-foot centers, and stringing parallel and perpendicular, with diagonals in both directions. MAINTENANCE The Contractor shall, at his expense, maintain the planted areas in a satisfactory condition until final acceptance of the project. Such maintenance shall include the filling, leveling, and repairing of any washed or eroded areas, as may be necessary. The Engineer, at any time, may require replanting of any areas in which the establishment of the grass stand does not appear to be developing satisfactorily. If a planted area must be replanted due to the Contractor's negligence, carelessness, or failure to provide routine maintenance of such areas, such replacement shall be at the Contractor's expense. If replanting is necessary due to factors determined to be beyond the control of the Contractor, payment for replacement will be made under the appropriate contract pay items. ` END OF SECTION 02485-4 DmpvlSION 2\02485 Orassing.doc
