Attachment: Scope of Work
Site Management:
Bahia grass is the most common perennial grass in Florida. The
popularity of Bahia grass can be attributed to its low fertility
requirements and drought tolerance. Florida Sod will agree to
implement maintenance practices that will ensure a productive sod
harvest program.
A basic policy of mowing will be performed as needed. Spraying,
fertilization and pest management will also be performed as needed
basis.
Florida Sod will agree to the maintenance of all roads in harvesting
area. This will include hauling in road material and grading.
It will also be the responsibility of Florida Sod for the protection of
property associated with sod harvesting activities. Florida Sod will
promptly repair, at sole cost of Florida Sod, any damage done by Florida
Sod or its agents.
Weed and brush maintenance will be kept to a minimum and under
control.
Florida Sod will maintain our harvesting area in a clean and orderly
manner. We will be sure to clean field of all debris, such as broken
pallets or trash.
There will also be no dumping of any waste tolerated by Florida Sod.
No disturbance of wildlife will be allowed by Florida Sod.
Packet Page-2167-
As
12/10/2013 16.G.4.
Sod Harvest Operational Plan:
Florida Sod typically harvests sod year round. We conduct our sod
harvesting operation every week, Monday thru Saturday, weather
permitting.
Our sod is harvested by sod harvesting tractors and stacked on pallets
in the amount of 400 sq. ft. per pallet. Florida Sod will load the pallets
with a forklift onto the delivery trucks in the field. A delivery truck will
normally transport on average 14 to 18 pallets per load, depending on
the weight of the sod.
Florida Sod will issue a cut sheet and amount of pallets harvesting from
the field at the end of every work week to the land owner or lessor of
the property. Payment is usually issued from Florida Sod to the land
owner or lessor every 15 days.
Payment is usually determined by the amount of pallets that were
harvested and sold during that week. Florida Sod prefers to pay per
pallet vs. per acre.
The type of grass/sod that Florida Sod will be bidding on for Solicitation
13-6171 is Bahia grass.
Packet Page-2168- `` " '
12/10/2013 16.G.4.
Ingress/Egress:
Florida Sod will take all precautions to ensure only individuals with
authorized permission are allowed into the harvesting area. This is
typically controlled by a keeping the sod harvesting area locked at all
times when there is not a Florida Sod employee present on site.
Florida Sod will agree to use only areas that are designated and
approved by Immokalee Airport authority to enter harvesting area.
Florida Sod agrees to all vehicle operations set forth in accordance to
Airport Rules and Regulations.
