General Maintenance Requirements and Recommendations: The purpose of a plan for the landscape improvements maintenance practices is to allow the plant material on your project to thrive in a safe and vigorous manner while fulfilling their intended purpose and conserving our natural resources. Plantings and all other landscape improvements shall be maintained to avoid potential roadway hazards and to provide required clear visibility, accessibility, clearance, and setbacks as set forth by Florida . Department of Transportation (FDOT) governing standards and specifications: FDOT Design Standards, FDOT Plans Preparation Manual vol. I, Chapter 2. 11 and FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction as amended by contract documents; - and all other requirements set forth by the District 4 Operations Maintenance Engineer. The initial portion of the Maintenance Plan describes general maintenance requirements and recommendations. The concluding section is recommendations prepared by the Landscape Architect of Record specific to the attached approved plans. Watering Requirements: Watering is a critical concern for not only the maintenance of healthy plant material but also for observing water conservation practices. The amount of water to apply at any one time varies with the weather, drainage conditions and water holding capacity of the soil. For plant materials that have been established, it is imperative that any mandated water restrictions be fully conformed to on FDOT roadways. Proper watering techniques should provide even and thorough water dispersal to wet the entire root zone, but not saturate the soil or over-spray onto travel lanes. Irrigation System : The Agency shall ensure there are no roadway overspray or irrigation activities during daytime hours (most notably "rush hour" traffic periods). It is imperative the irrigation controller is properly set to run early enough that the watering process will be entirely completed before high traffic periods, while Page 1 of 6 r A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE J . R . SMITH , CLERK adhering to mandated water restrictions. To ensure water conservation, the Agency shall monitor the system for water leaks and the rain sensors to ensure they are functioning properly so that the system shuts down when there is sufficient rainfall. Integrated Plant Management:. An assessment of each planting area' s soil is recommended toperiodically determine the nutrient levels needed to sustain healthy, vigorous plant growth. Palms, shrubs, trees and turf areas shall be fertilized in such a manner and frequency to ensure that the plant material remains healthy and vigorously growing. Establishment of an integrated pest management program is encouraged to ensure healthy plants, which are free of disease and pests. Mulching* Mulch planting beds in such a manner as to: prevent weed growth; retain moisture to the plants; protect against soil erosion and nutrient loss; maintain a more uniform soil temperature; and improve .the appearance of the planting beds. Avoid mulch mounded up on the trunks of trees, palms, and the base of shrubs to encourage air movement in this area which aids in lowering disease susceptibility. Cypress mulch is prohibited on state right of way. Pruning: All pruning, and the associated safety criteria, shall be performed according to American National Standard Institute ANSI A300 standards and shall be supervised by an International Society of Arboriculture (ISA) Certified Arborist. Pruning shall be carried out with the health and natural growth of plant materials in mind, and to specific pruning heights maintaining clear visibility for motorists, and vertical clearance for pedestrian, bicyclist, and truck traffic where applicable. Visibility windows must be maintained free of view obstructions and all trees and palms (with particular attention to fronds and fruit) must be maintained to prevent potential roadway and pedestrian hazards. The specific pruning heights are determined by understanding the designer' s intent when selecting and placing the plants. The intended mature maintained height and spread of _ plants are noted on the planting plans. (See Specific Requirements and Recommendations per Approved Landscape & Irrigation Design for these guidelines). The understory plant materials selected for use within the restricted planting areas (Limits of Clear Sight) - of the medians are to be maintained at a height in compliance with FDOT Design Standards Index 546, Page 6 of 6, Window Detail. Vertical tree heights must meet FDOT Maintenance Rating Program (MRP) standards. Staking and Guying: All staking materials, except for replacements, are removed by the completion of FDOT warranty period or at one year (whichever comes first). Any subsequent staking and guying activities by the Agency must adhere to FDOT Design Standards guidelines (See Index 544). The Agency shall closely monitor staking and guying attachment materials so that they are securely fastened to avoid potential roadway hazards. Turf Mowing• All grassed areas are to be mowed and trimmed with sufficient frequency to maintain a deep, healthy root system while providing a neat and clean appearance to the urban landscape. All turf efforts. mowing, curb/sidewalk edging, and turf condition must meet FDOT Maintenance Rating Program (MRP). Litter Controls. The project site shall remain as litter free as practicable. It is recommended to recycle this litter to avoid unnecessary waste by its reuse. Litter removal efforts must meet FDOT Maintenance Rating Program (MRP) standards. Page 2 of 6 A TRUE COPY CERTIFICATION ON LAST PAGE J . R . SMITH , CLERK Weeding/Herbicide, All planting areas shall be maintained as weed free as practicable enlisting integrated pest management _ practices in areas specified on the plans and by maintaining proper mulch levels. . Extreme care is recommended if using a chemical herbicide to avoid overspray onto plant materials. Any damage resulting from overspmy is the applicator' s responsibility to restore the plantings to the approved plans. Plant Replacement: Plant replacement shall be the same species and specification as the approved plan. Move and replace all plant materials that may conflict with utility relocations and service. Only plants graded Florida # 1 or better, per the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants are permitted on FDOT roadways. Should it become necessary to change the species, a general use permit is required from FDOT for approval by the FDOT District Landscape Architect. Hardscape. (Specialty Surfacing) : All specialty surfacing and tree grates shall be maintained in such a manner as to prevent any potential tripping hazards and protect damage to the pavers and tree grates. Final surface tolerance from grade elevations shall, at a minimum, meet the most current Interlocking Concrete Pavement Institute (ICPI), Guide Specications for Pavers on an Aggregate Base, Section 23 1413 Interlocking Concrete Pavers, Part 3 .05 . If the specialty surfacing or tree grates become damaged, they shall be replaced with the same type and specification as the approved plan. Hardscape (Non-Standard Travelwav Surfacing): It shall be the responsibility of the AGENCY to restore an unacceptable ride condition of the roadway, including asphalt pavement, caused or contributed by the installation or failure of non-standard surfacing, and/or the header curb, on the Department of Transportation right-of4ay within the limits of this Agreement. Pavement restoration areas or "patches" will have a minimum length of 10-ft, measured from the edge of the header curb, and a width to cover full lanes for each lane affected by the restoration. Pavement restoration will be performed in accordance with the most current edition of the FDOT Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, and the FDOT Design Standards for Design, Construction, Maintenance and Utility Operations on the State Highway System. It shall be the responsibility of the AGENCY to maintain all signs located within a non-standard surfacing area. Such maintenance to be provided by the AGENCY shall include repair and replacement of the sign panel, post, and base. Hardscape (Landscape Accent Lighting) Landscape accent lighting shall be maintained in such a manner as to prolong the life of the lighting fixture and prevent potential safety hazards. If the lighting fixtures and their system become damaged, they shall be replaced with the same type and specification as the approved . plan.
