General Grounds Maintenance
A. Grass Cutting & Litter Collection The Contractor must carry out grass cutting (either standard 'cut and drop' or 'cut and collect' - please specify in the application) and litter picking across all designated sites, ensuring that grass does not exceed the agreed height limit of 10cm. Using the map and documents in Appendix 1 and 2, all the sites under this Lot are detailed. Areas highlighted green must be maintained so that grass never exceeds 10cm, and vegetation encroaching on pathways must be cut back to the path edge to ensure full and unobstructed use of the path. The blue areas are designated wildlife zones and must only be cut once per annum in September/October (weather dependent and may take place earlier in cases of wildfire risk). The areas in purple indicate the location of a sports pitch; dark blue shows the cricket outfield; yellow indicates the dual-use pitch, pink shows the areas to be cut twice per-annum, orange pins indicate playgrounds, green pin shows our tennis court and lastly, the blue pins show site specific info. The Contractor is also responsible for routine cutting back of vegetation (as detailed in Appendix 1 and 2 and any other locations that may arise within the areas already covered under this Lot.) to ensure the footpaths, signage or sightlines are not encroached upon, as well as to maintain safe access and a tidy appearance. This excludes specialist arboricultural works (e.g. major tree surgery, felling, or works at height requiring a qualified tree surgeon), which will be instructed separately if necessary. All trees, benches, and other fixed structures within green spaces must be actively avoided to ensure they are not damaged. Any damages must be reported to STC according to section 4J.
