Any tree stakes, tree ties, and/or guy wires needing replacement shall be replaced with new materials as per the City Standard Contract Drawings, at the expense of the Contractor. Pest Management All landscaped areas shall be maintained free of disease and harmful insects without compensation beyond the base bid. The City of San Leandro seeks to control pests without harming non-target organisms, or negatively affecting air and water quality and public health. The Contractor shall give preference to reasonably available nonpesticide alternatives when conducting pest management activities on City property and public right-of--ways. Chemical controls should only be applied when monitoring indicates that preventative and non-chemical methods are not keeping pests below acceptable levels. When pesticides are required, the least toxic and the least persistent pesticide that will provide adequate pest control is applied. Pesticides should not be applied on a prescheduled basis. The Contractor may employ Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices when controlling pests. IPM uses cultural, mechanical, physical, and biological control methods before using pesticides.
