~d}Watering During Planting. All cuttings, bare root, and container plants shall be <br />watered thoroughly immediately upon planting to settle the soil. Sufficient water shall be <br />applied to thoroughly wet the soil around the roots and remove any air pockets. Watering <br />may be accomplished either from the top of bank with a watering truck or by pumping <br />directly from the ponds, as allowed in a "limited license" water right that the City of Eugene <br />will be seeking with the Oregon Vvater Resource Department. <br />~e~Tree protection. All trees shall be protected according to the following specifications: <br />~1 ~Cattonwood trees. Each cottonwood tree shall be protected with 4' tall welded wire <br />fencing ~2"x4" openings}, such ghat the fence forms a 3' diameter enclosure. The fencing <br />should be staked down with two 5-6' t-posts that are pounded in 12" minimum and <br />secured so that there is no gap between the ground and the bottom of the fence. It is <br />essential, to make sure the fence is flush with the ground and that it is securely attached <br />since larger beaverlnutria may try to force their way underneath. For those trees on the <br />slopes please trim the bottom of the fence as needed to allow it to sit flush to the ground <br />all the way around the trees. See Figure 3 for photos of trees protected using these <br />specifications. <br />~2~ All tree species, except for cottonwood. All trees, except cottonwood trees, shall be <br />protected with 24-30"tall rigid seedling protectian tubes that are staked in place with 30- <br />36" bamboo stakes. The tube material should sit flush with the ground and should be <br />secured to the stake so that it is not easily pushed up, exposing the tree trunk. These <br />tubes will protect young trees during the first two years, allowing them to establish a <br />healthy root system before they experience browse by herbivores. <br />Revise} 0~ 040.10 Plant Establishment and Maintenance <br />General -The plant establishment period will begin immediately once the original planting <br />is complete and sha[I continue until October 3~ St, 2010, Establishment period work <br />includes all work necessary to establish and maintain SO°/o survival of the original planting, <br />including watering and weed control as specified below. Plant replacement due to vehicle <br />damage, vandalism, theft, browsing or grazing will be the responsibility of the City. <br />(Delete) 01040.71 Care of Work <br />Revise} 0~ 040.12 Periodic Inspections -The City will perform monitoring for survival success <br />criteria} in September 2009 and September 2010. The Contractor shall perform re- <br />establishmentworkduring the dormant periods of winter following each monitoring period. <br />The Contractor shall insure an SO°/o success rate per species measure based on the <br />number of plants perspecies identified at final acceptance of initial planting} at both <br />inspection periods. Work may be accomplished at a different time to meet bettergrowing <br />conditions as determined by the City. <br />Revise} D1040.?3 -Success Criteria The determination of a successful planting establishment <br />will be made during periodic inspections. A successful planting establishment is defined <br />as follows: <br />~ 00°/~ survival rate and vigorous growth of all plants at the time of planting. No <br />breakage, or physical damage, set in ground plumb and to standards. Well <br />maintained. <br />
