Operational Standards MAINTENANCE MODES AND STANDARDS Regular maintenance requires unit-based quantification for most major resource requirements and provides the methods for projecting future resource needs. The City’s maintenance efforts for the renovated Washington Manor Park will be expansive and will need to address diverse aspects of maintaining a signature park to preserve the integrity of public assets and their meaningful use. The prevailing objectives of a standards-based park maintenance program are presented below but not in order of importance: It is recommended that all park maintenance agencies adopt a system of parks maintenance levels wherein functions are organized into a tiered structure with three different levels of service. These levels are referred to as maintenance modes, and each has a unique standard that dictates routine maintenance tasks and their frequency. The appropriate maintenance mode is assigned to each park or site, which creates a framework for organizing and scheduling tasks and responsibilities at each location. A description of each of the maintenance modes is provided below: Many of the objectives assigned to the park maintenance team will extend beyond the traditional responsibilities of park maintenance employees. Maintain and improve the sites, grounds, facilities, and structures of Washington Manor Park to provide optimal and enjoyable use. Provide landscaping and general maintenance for a multitude of amenities, including but not limited to, landscaped beds and turf, open spaces, urban forests, synthetic turf athletic fields, picnicking areas, playgrounds, and park buildings and structures. Protect and preserve the value of Washington Manor Park’s assets so that long-term maintenance costs are minimal due to extending the service life of those assets. MAINTENANCE MODE/ LEVEL 1 Maintenance Mode/Level 1 (Mode/Level 1) applies to parks or sites that require the greatest level of maintenance standard in the system. These parks or sites are often revenue producing facilities, such as the athletic fields, where the quality and level of maintenance has a direct impact on the park facility’s ability to maximize revenue generation. MAINTENANCE MODE/ LEVEL 2 Maintenance Mode/Level 2 (Mode/Level 2) applies to parks or sites that require a moderate level of effort and maintenance standards in the system. These include developed and undeveloped parks with amenities that are heavily used such as trails, community and pocket parks, and special-use facilities found in the City’s parks system. MAINTENANCE MODE/ LEVEL 3 Maintenance Mode/Level 3 (Mode/Level 3) applies to parks or sites that require a nominal level of effort and maintenance standards in the system. These generally include undeveloped parks with minimal amenities. The Consulting Team is recommending that Washington Manor Park be maintained using a combination of Level 1/Level 2 Maintenance Mode Standards.
