maintain the landscaping and irrigation improvements in the traffic circle, as depicted in Schedule "A" and
following the specifications in Schedule `B." Rights to terminate the Agreement as defined in the attached
Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated, the applicant will be responsible for removing Improvements or
restoring the traffic circle, and the Road Maintenance Division would assume responsibility for mowing the
restored unirrigated Bahia sod. Whippoorwill is not an arterial roadways and, therefore, not considered for
landscape improvements as part of the Collier County Landscape Beautification Master Plan.
FISCAL IMPACT: There is no cost to Collier County associated with this proposal. Marbella Lakes Owners
Association is responsible for all recording fees.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: No growth management impact is associated with this Executive
Summary.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires a majority vote for
approval. -DDP

RIGHT OF WAY LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE SPECIFICATIONS
These specifications are intended to provide the information by which private entities may understand the minimum
requirements of Collier County relative to maintaining County rights of ways. Records of all specification requirements
shall be kept and made available to the County's representative upon request.
A. MOWING AND EDGING: Mowing and edging shall include medians as well as those areas, if existing, along
the outside edge of the sidewalks of adjacent properties. All turf shall be mowed with mulching type mower
equipment to eliminate the need to bag and transport grass clippings. Should bagging be necessary, the bagged
clippings shall be collected and removed at no additional cost. Grass shall be cut at a height of three and one half
inches (3 '/2"). The frequency of cutting will be weekly or fifty-two (52) times.
Mechanical edging of the turf shall be done with each mowing along all sidewalk edges, back of concrete curbs,
around all planting beds, utility service boxes, streetlight bases, sign posts, headwalls, guardrails, timer pedestals,
posts, and trees. Metal blade edging is not permitted along back of curbing. Grass root runners extending into
the mulched areas shall be cut and removed when the edging is performed. Edging will also be required in all
turf areas around isolated trees, sprinkler heads, valve boxes, shrubs, signposts, manholes, etc. where they exist.
All debris on streets, sidewalks or other areas resulting from edging shall be removed. No herbicide shall be used
for edging.
All sidewalks, curbing and/or gutters shall be cleaned after each service. All sidewalks shall be blown clean, but
no clippings or other debris shall be blown or allowed to be deposited on other adjacent property or accumulate
on right-of-way areas.
B. WEEDING: Weeding of plant beds, sidewalks (asphalt, concrete or pavers), guardrail bases, and curb joints as
well as other mulched areas by chemical and/or hand removal will be performed weekly or as necessary to provide
a weed free and well -maintained area.
C. GENERAL SITE PRUNING: General site pruning shall be defined as the pruning of any plant's foliage below
ten -foot (10') foot.
All groundcovers, shrubs, canopy trees and palms up to ten -foot (10') level, shall be inspected and pruned on a
weekly or an as needed basis, so to maintain the proper or required heights for visibility, vehicular movement
purposes and desired shape or form as determined by County's representative. Pruning shall also include removal
of water sprouts, suckers and any dead or diseased foliage or branches.
During the first week of October and April, ornamental grasses, such as Fountain grass, Florida Gamma or
Fakahatchee grass shall be pruned in a pyramid shape to a twelve -inch (12") or twenty-four (24") height based
upon the type of plant. Ornamental type grasses such as Liriope muscari `Evergreen Giant', shall only be pruned
at the direction and approval of the County's representative.
Plant material with a canopy over pedestrian sidewalks shall be maintained at a minimum height of one hundred
twenty inches (120"). Shrubs and groundcovers adjacent to pathways or sidewalks shall be pruned to maintain
one foot (P) of clearance from the edge of the pathway. IT is recommended that adjacent shrubs and
groundcovers be maintained so that they angle or are rounded away from the pathway.
D. TRASH REMOVAL: With each service, all sites shall be cleaned by removing all trash or debris to include,
but not limited to; paper, bottles, cans, other trash, and horticultural debris. All debris or trash pick-ups shall be
performed "prior" to mowing in all turf areas. The disposal of all trash and debris must be at a proper landfill or
disposal site.

Packet Pg. 397
16.B.5.a
E. STREET CLEANING/SWEEPING: Street Cleaning: A four foot (4') wide area measured from the face of the
curb and gutters including turn lanes shall be cleaned with each site service to remove any accumulation of debris
or objectionable growth so to maintain a neat and safe condition.
F. TRAFFIC CONTROL: The Association shall comply with the requirements of Collier County Maintenance of
Traffic (MOT) Policy, copies of which are available through Risk Management or the Purchasing Department.
The Association shall obtain and review the County MOT policy requirements prior to submitting a bid.
The Association will be responsible for obtaining copies of all required manuals, MUTCD, FDOT Roadway &
Traffic Design Standard Indexes, or other related documents, so to become familiar with the requirements. Strict
adherence to the requirements of the MOT policy will be enforced under this Contract.
To assist in employee visibility, employees servicing the area shall wear high visibility safety apparel in
compliance with the most current editions of the FDOT Design Standards and the Collier County Maintenance
of Traffic (MOT) policy.
G. CANOPY TREE AND PALM PRUNING: For this site, canopy trees shall be defined as any large shrub, tree,
or palm with foliage above a ten -foot (10') level.
All canopy trees and palms shall be pruned on a continuous basis to create and maintain a seventeen -foot (17')
canopy clearance over the roadways and a ten -foot (10') canopy clearance over all pathways. Canopy trees shall
be selectively pruned twice per year in April and September so to thin the interior canopy of cross branching and
to shape the canopy of the trees. The County's representative shall approve a professional licensed to prune tress
under the direction of a Licensed Landscape Architect, Arborist, Tree Surgeon, or other approved professional
shall do the pruning and sharpening. The work shall be performed per ANSI AS300 "Standard Practices for
Trees, Shrubs, and other Woody Plant Maintenance" and done in a professional manner in accordance with
"Pruning Standards" of the national Arborist Association or accepted local trade standards and practices.
Palms shall be pruned annually during June of each year. The palms shall be pruned to a "Tropical Cut" or to a
nine (9) o'clock- three (3) o'clock angle from the horizontal at the base of the palm's bud or lowest fronds.
Approximately seven (7) to (10) ten green fronds shall be left at the head after pruning. The pruning shall include
removal of all nuts, seed stalks, brown or dead and lower fronds.
The work shall be done in a professional manner in accordance with acceptable trade standards and practices.
The palms shall not be climbed with tree spikes to remove the fronds. The pruning shall be accomplished by the
use of a ladder, boom truck or lift. All debris from the pruning shall be removed and the site shall be left on a
clean and neat manner.
When the annual or bi-annual heavy pruning work is being performed with the use of a lift or boom truck, it is
required that the adjacent traffic or turn lane to the work area, be closed using traffic control devices and signage
per the current FDOT traffic control standards and indexes.
H. FERTILIZATION: The application of fertilizers shall follow Ordinance No. 2019-18. No Applicator shall
apply fertilizers containing nitrogen and/or phosphorus to turf and/or landscape plants during the Prohibited
Application Period, or to saturated soils. Follow UF/IFAS guidelines for turfgrass fertilization.
Contractor/subcontractor must have valid licenses issued by Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer
Services for Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator Certification (FDACS LUFAC). Provide
fertilization services four (4) times a year in March, June, September, and December. Only twice (2) a year if
using six (6) month application rate. Nitrogen content in any fertilizer must be at a minimum of 50% slow release.
Contractor shall ensure that fertilization scheduling does not exceed the fertilizer label rate prescribed and
complies with state and local ordinances. It is important to note that local fertilizer regulations may prohibit the
use of nitrogen fertilizers during the summer months. Applied at a rate of 1.51bs. per 100 square feet. Broadcasted
throughout the planting beds and turf areas. All tree pit areas should be fertilized evenly.
2of6
C�
Packet Pg. 398
16.B.5.a
No fertilizer ring around trees under any circumstances. If a ring is formed, contractor/subcontractor is required
to return to the site and spread the fertilizer correcting the situation at their expense. This may include
contractor/subcontractor purchasing additional fertilizer because applied fertilizer may not be able to spread.
Immediately remove fertilizers from curbs and sidewalk areas to avoid staining.
Fertilization Applications
Contractor/subcontractor shall use deflector shields on all application equipment to minimize the inadvertent
application of fertilizer in non -plant areas. Contractor shall blow, sweep, or wash back into the landscape any
fertilizer deposited on paved or impervious surfaces. Use "Ring of Responsibility" around or along the shoreline
of canals, lakes, or waterways.
Ensure fertilizers and other lawn chemicals do not come into direct contact with the water. Apply fertilizer only
when plants are actively growing. Clean up spilled fertilizer materials immediately as per University of Florida
IFAS recommendations. Store nitrate -based fertilizers separately from solvents, fuels, and pesticides, because
nitrate fertilizers are oxidants and can accelerate a fire. After fertilizing (other than when watering restrictions
apply), irrigate with at least a quarter inch (1/4") of water following fertilization to avoid the loss of nitrogen and
increase uptake efficiency. If water restrictions apply, the contractor may irrigate as permitted but no more than
one-half inch (1/2") following fertilization.
Do not exceed the annual nitrogen recommendations in the Fertilizer Guidelines for Established Turfgrass Lawns
in Three Regions of Florida as provided on the label.
Bed Tree Shrub Palm Flower, Groundcover Fertilization
Broadcast fertilizer uniformly over all the landscaped areas, and consider root location, fertilization objectives,
and plant species when applying fertilizer. In areas where tree or shrub fertilization zones overlap with lawn
fertilization zones, the contractor shall fertilize one or the other of the plant types, but not both.
Palm Fertilization
Palms have different nutritional requirements from other landscape plants. They suffer quickly and conspicuously
from inadequate mineral nutrition, whether due to insufficient or incorrect fertilization. Division's Landscape
Supervisor will provide the fertilization schedule.
Note: Fertilize palms with a granular slow -release fertilizer three to four times per year. An acceptable
formulation is 8-0-12-4 (N, P, K, Mg plus micro -elements), 50% Slow Release.
Turf Fertilization
Treat deficiencies of specific nutrients with applications of the lacking nutrient in accordance with University of
Florida IFAS recommendations until deficiencies are corrected, or as directed from Division Landscape
Supervisor. Must have prior approval. Adjust fertilizer rates according to health, maturity, and desired growth
patterns.
Fertilization for Establishment
During the establishment phase for shrubs, trees, and ground covers, fertilize landscape plants with a slow -release
fertilizer as per University of Florida IFAS recommendations. Shrubs and groundcovers shall have the fertilizer
blown or fan raked off following the broadcast application. Immediately after the fertilizer is applied, the areas
shall be watered.
H. MULCHING: Organic Mulch Areas with no mulch or new planting areas shall have mulch placed to provide
for a four inch (4") non -compacted or unsettled depth measured from the existing soil grade. The area to receive
the mulch shall be raked level to establish the proper finished grade and have all weeds removed prior to the
placement of the mulch. Two inches must be applied to replenish this mulch twice a year, November and during
May.
LANE CLOSURE: Lane closure for median maintenance shall comply with the most current editions
of the FDOT Design Standards and the Collier County Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) policy.
