MOWING SCOPE OF SERVICES

The Contractor shall perform mowing and trimming services on properties identified by the Township

as being in violation of nuisance vegetation ordinances. These services are intended to abate

overgrown grass, weeds, and vegetation that pose a public nuisance or safety concern. This is not a

into basic compliance with Township code.

Upon notification that service is required the contractor will:

1. Acknowledge receipt of request and provide anticipated completion date

2. Coordinate visit with Code Enforcement office so a Code Officer can be present for services.

3. Provide before and after digital pictures of property

4. Perform necessary services as follows:

a. Mow all turf areas where grass and weeds exceed the maximum height permitted by

ordinance.

b. Trim around structures, fences, trees, sidewalks, and other obstacles to ensure no

overgrown vegetation remains.

c. Remove or flatten large weeds and brush within the mowed area to the extent

necessary to eliminate the nuisance.

d. No collection or disposal of grass clippings is required unless clippings obstruct

sidewalks or streets.

The Contractor is not required to achieve a uniform appearance or manicured

finish—only to reduce vegetation to a height that eliminates the public nuisance.

5. Perform other duties as indicated

6. Advise Township of completion of project, and/or aberrancies
