Should damage to any of the above listed occur, the contractor will be held financially responsible for replacement or repair. Grass clippings or debris caused by mowing will be removed from adjacent walks, drives, gutters and curbs or surfaces on the same day as mowed. Mowing will not be done when weather or conditions will result in damaged turf. The contractor shall remove all trash and litter from the entire area prior to initiating any mowing of the turf area. Upon completion, a mowed area shall be free of clumped grass cuttings and tire tracks or ruts from mowing equipment. Turf shall be cut in a professional manner so as not to scalp turf or leave areas of uncut grass. Bonds Required. Prevailing Wages.
