submitted within two (2) weeks of design approval. Plant substitutions must be
approved by CDOT.
Growing Medium: Identify all growing medium for each location. All growing
medium must be approved by CDOT.
Hardware: Purchase and/or replace all damaged or missing hardware as needed.
Clean and/or paint hardware and containers as needed.
2. INSTALLATION
Growing Medium: At the beginning of each season all locations must be evaluated
for proper drainage and if needed, remedied prior to the installation of approved
growing medium and plants. All locations will require additional growing medium.
Mockup: Prior to all seasonal floral display installations, mockup sessions may be
required with CDOT and the SR. Mock up sessions will take place 24 hours prior to
actual installation. Delivery of all material is required at all mock up sessions.
Installation: All plants must be watered at the time of location delivery prior to
installation. All material required to complete the design must be at the project
location at the time of installation. Install plant material according to the approved
design. Actual installation is weather dependent. To ensure establishment, install
other subsequent tender plant material when spring temperatures rise to safe
consistent levels. In order to achieve the design intent SR must perform on site
adjustments.
Planting Site and Surrounding Area: At all times keep project locations clean;
power wash as necessary or as directed.
3. MAINTENANCE
Monitoring: Project locations must be routinely monitored throughout each season or
as directed by CDOT. Findings must be detailed on a daily work report and
submitted to CDOT electronically upon completion of each visit.
Watering/ Fertilization: Locations will require water and fertilizer to ensure that the
original design is adhered to and all plants are in a healthy and vibrant condition
throughout the entire season. Fertilizer analysis must be approved by CDOT.
Existing irrigation system start up, monitoring, and adjustments will be required.
Plant Care: All plants must be properly cared for and trimmed in order to achieve
the plant’s maximum representative potential and original design intent. Plants will
require removal of dead and dying flowers, dead or conflicting branches and stems,
proliferating stems, dried foliage, or as directed by CDOT. Some plants may require
staking, mowing, or anti-desiccants.
Pests and Disease: Keep all project locations free of insects, rodents, pigeons, and
diseases using integrated pest management strategies to ensure that the original
design is adhered too and all plants are in a healthy and vibrant condition throughout
the entire season.
Litter removal: Remove and properly dispose any refuse or litter.
Weeding: All planting locations require routine weed removal whereby the weed and
its root or seed are eliminated from the location.
