Abstract

The Contractor will be responsible for the provision of skilled horticultural craftsmen to undertake the services of grass cutting, hedge maintenance, leaf and litter control, pruning, weed control, tree survey, sport pitch maintenance and associated works.

Tasks specified to be carried out on a regular basis, must be suitably spaced out over the period and must meet with the approval of the Site Manager at each location. The scheduling of these tasks must be available for inspection and the Contractor shall make any reasonable adjustments as deemed necessary by the Site Manager.

The Contractor is to avoid soil, grass cuttings or moss from grassed or soil areas being carried onto buildings, paths and roads. Where this has occurred, the area should be cleaned and materials removed immediately.

A report is required to be completed for every day of attendance detailing the tasks undertaken and handed to Site Manager for signature. Failure to provide this report will count as non-attendance.
