19 The VENDOR shall provide the services of a planting contractor experienced in the installation of native upland and wetland plant species for mitigation or restoration sites. The VENDOR should be prepared to perform, but not be limited to, the following plant installation services: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) Native plant material installed into mitigation or restoration sites shall be at a minimum Florida No. 1 as set forth by the current issue of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Service's Division of Plant Industry Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants. Exceptions may be granted as necessary and as approved by the Department and permitting agencies, to accommodate unique, rare, local and relocated native plant material. The VENDOR shall select plant material based on desirable habitat type, community type, hydrology, soils, success history, provenance, and permitted guidelines. The best indicators of appropriate plant species may be native species that are already growing on or adjacent to the site. An exception would be if the site has been significantly altered from historic conditions. The VENDOR should identify reference sites; communicate with local plant experts; review literature on local plant communities; and research historical records, aerials and satellite images. The VENDOR must coordinate efforts with the DEPARTMENT and permitting agencies on final plant list. The VENDOR should seek plant material from within the region to preserve native plant population genetics. Reference the Institute for Regional Conservation (IRC) website ( for regional guidelines. Identifying the correct ecotype is particularly important on sites adjacent to public lands or state lands with few introduced plants. First preference should be given to obtaining local native plant species from local plant materials. The VENDOR shall endeavor to select a diversity of plants which best represent the regional plant community(s) and supports local wildlife. In developing a plant list, the VENDOR shall select species with the understanding that species are found together in nature in certain groupings or plant communities. These communities have evolved to specific environments and in some cases are interdependent so as to allow the area is to be self-supporting. Plant material shall be installed when appropriate in accordance with the Florida Department of Transportation Design Standards, Index 544, Landscape Installation, the Florida Department of Transportation A-19 of A-29

20 Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 580, Landscape Installation and Section 120, Excavation and Embankment, American National Standard Index A300, and in accordance with sound horticulture practices as established by the International Society of Arboriculture.

All trees and palms with a two (2) inch or greater caliper shall be staked/guyed pursuant to the Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Sections 580 and the Florida Department of Transportation Design Standards, Index 544. Use vinyl webbing guy lines in staking/guying work. The cost of staking and guying includes the maintenance, repair and possible replacement of any damage to the existing staking and guying materials. In addition, the cost shall include removal of all staking and guying material as well as proper disposal of this material after an establishment period as specified by the Project Manager or warranty. The VENDOR shall communicate with the project manager on plant sizes, unless specifically directed by the permitting agencies. The VENDOR shall avoid soil compaction. If the VENDOR is unable to avoid soil compaction, the VENDOR will identify ways to correct it through disking, grubbing, etc. Hydrology must dictate the VENDOR s plantings for wetlands. The VENDOR will submit and receive approval from the DEPARTMENT and/or permitting agency(s) on a suitable reference wetland to use for plant selection and plans guidance. Any listed or rare plant species designated by the permitting agencies to be relocated on to mitigation or restoration sites may require the VENDOR to communicate with a specialized botanist on said species or coordinate with botanical gardens, universities, or public land managers. All mitigation sites shall be cleared of exotic and undesirable vegetation before installation of native plant material. Desirable native vegetation shall be preserved and protected. Mangroves must be preserved and protected from construction activities or replaced in kind. A-20 of A-29

21 (n) (o) (p) (o) (q) The VENDOR, as directed by the DEPARTMENT and the permitting agencies, is responsible for removing any surplus excavated material and transporting the material to the local DEPARTMENT Operations Center or to another location as specified by the Project Managers. This may include the removal and appropriate disposal of hazardous solid waste. Any vegetation installed, excluding specific agency directed relocations, under this contract shall be guaranteed for a period of 180 days. At the end of 180 days, 100% of the planted material must be viable, showing signs of new growth, and exhibiting the characteristics and grades originally specified. The establishment period will begin once the DEPARTMENT s Project Manager, certifies that all plant material is acceptable and properly installed. The VENDOR must ensure that the plants are maintained so that they are healthy, vigorous, and undamaged throughout the duration of the establishment period. Any plant material determined by the FDOT Project Manager or designee, to not be in a healthy growing condition, will be replaced at no additional cost to FDOT, within ten (10) days of notification by the DEPARTMENT s Project Manager. The warranty period will be extended an additional 180 days for all replacement plant material. The 180-day guarantee will supersede the expiration date of this contract. All trash, invasive and undesirable vegetation shall be removed from the limits of the planting area once per month beginning immediately after all plants have been installed until completion of the 180-day establishment period. Mulching activities shall follow the requirements as specified in the Florida Department of Transportation Standard Specifications for Road and Bridge Construction, Section 580, and Florida Department of Transportation Design Standards, Section 544. All weeds shall be removed from planting and mulch beds prior to installation of mulch. Mulching must only occur above the Mean High Water (MHW) or tide (MHT) level and should not occur within wetlands. When a project is utilizing natural recruitment, the necessity of mulching must be evaluated. Application of water to planted species will be required during the establishment period. The cost of watering throughout the establishment period shall be included in the Price Proposal Form C plant pay items. Watering will not be paid separately for planted vegetation. The VENDOR shall be responsible for providing water for the installed vegetation, at a minimum, by following the watering schedule provided A-21 of A-29

Watering shall be applied so that the pressure will not damage plants or destroy the mulch bed around each plant. All watering of plant material shall comply with County or State ordinances and regulations, including regulating authorities guidelines. The VENDOR shall secure and pay, at his own expense, all required permits where applicable. Desirable native plants species shall be replaced in any area where the plants have been injured beyond recovery by the VENDOR s maintenance activities. The damaged plants shall be replaced with like-sized plants of the same species at the VENDOR s expense. Except for miscellaneous expenses listed in the Unit Prices (Price Proposal Form C), the cost of all project management, field supervision, travel, invoicing, labor, minor maintenance of traffic, mobilization and demobilization, minor staking and guying, maintenance of planting site throughout the 180-day plant warranty, fertilizer, water throughout establishment period, and materials necessary to install and maintain the plants listed in Form C, shall be included in the plant pay items. 19) ENVIRONMENTAL WORK PROGRAM ACTIVITIES (a) DOCUMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES The VENDOR will, as directed, provide documentation of environmental activities through the use of audio visual aids such as photographs, slides, A-22 of A-29
