At no time will the Contractor be allowed to dispose of trash or green waste that was not collected as part of this contract. If the City finds that the Contractor is disposing of trash from other contracts, the City will discontinue this service for the Contractor and the Contractor will be required to pay for its own trash service. E. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Routine maintenance shall include but not be limited to the following services performed at the Work Sites listed in Exhibit F. 1. Turf Care Turf care shall be differentiated by the two types of turf - "Casual Turf' and "Sport/Priority Turf (see site maps in Attachment 5 that identify the areas for each type of turf). The Contractor shall maintain mowers that provide a smooth, even cut without ridges or depressions and without tearing of the leaf blades (caused by unsharpened mower blades). Mowing shall be performed at the speed the mowers manufacturer specifies to maximize quality of cut. Mowing shall be performed with straight and flowing patterns approved by the Director's Representative. The emphasis will be on quality mowing vs. speed and unprofessional patterns.

Any visible clippings shall be collected and disposed of pursuant to SAMC Chapter 16. b) Priority Turf Mowing All "sport/priority" turf as described in Attachment No. 5 shall be mowed once a week all year. Any visible clippings shall be collected and disposed of pursuant to SAMC Chapter 16.
