') ~ Date c;Q-6000372 FEID Number of Social Security Number EXHIBIT A PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE GUIDELINES A Planting Site factors which influence long-term survivability should be considered: overhead and underground utilities, sidewalks, sign conflicts, traffic visibility, light poles, right-of-way or site improvements, size of planting space/site, etc. All planting stock or replacement stock must be Florida Grade #1 or better. All synthetic or non-biodegradable material such as nylon rope, synthetic wrap, treated burlap, etc. must be removed from the root ball before planting, All biodegradable material should be removed from the upper 1/3 of the root ball. Precautions should be taken to eliminate any _______ material from extending above the soil surface where it can act as a wick and dry the surrounding soil. If trees are planted with wire baskets around the root ball, it is recommended that the top two tiers of wire be cut and removed after the root ball is set in the planting hole. The planting hole should be at least 3-5 times the diameter of the root ball (where possible) and the same depth as the root ball. Position the tree or palm in the center of the planting hole with the top of the root ball even with the surrounding soil surface. Backfill with soil from the planting site, if it is not contaminated. All large rocks should be removed. When the hole is half full, slowly water to saturate the soil and remove air pockets, then continue to fill the hole with soil. It is not recommended that large amounts of organic matter be incorporated into the backfill. Rake the soil evenly around the entire planting area, Water thoroughly to remove air pockets, secure the soil around the roots, and provide nourishment. B. Mulching Mulch an area at least three times the diameter of the root ball to a depth of 2-4" with wood chips, bark mulch, shredded mulch, leaves or pine needles. Keep the mulch several inches away from the tree or palm trunk. Replenish mulch as it decomposes maintaining a 2-4" layer over the life of the project. C. Staking Stake only if necessary; for example, if the tree or palm will not stand on its own due to potential vandalism or strong winds. Use flexible materials such as strapping or commercially available ties that give as the tree diameter increases and as the tree moves. Biodegradable material is recommended. Do not use wire even if the wire is inside rubber hosing, Stakes and ties should remain on the trees no longer that one year to avoid girdling. D. Pruning At the time of planting, only dead, damaged, rubbing or cross braches or fronds should be removed. Remove sucker sprouts from the base of the tree after planting. Corrective/structural pruning can begin approximately one year after planting. Do not remove more than 1/3 of the live crown during one growing season. E. Watering Establish a regular watering schedule and follow it. Slow deep watering is recommended. Additional water may be needed during hot or dry periods. As tree or palm growth progresses, be sure to water outward (away from the trunk) to the surrounding soil area. This will promote the outward growth and spread of roots. Various species of trees or palms and/or soil types may require varied degrees of watering. Soil moisture and tree health should be monitored and irrigation adjusted accordingly. Non-irrigated sites need to be monitored more closely. F. Fertilizing Begin a fertilization program within the first year of planting, Broadcast fertilizing or fertilizer plugs/stakes are recommended. Fertilize lightly after the first year using a balanced fertilizer (rates should be based on the size of the tree or palm and any special nutrient requirements). If micronutrient deficiencies are suspected, have a soil test completed and supplement the fertilization program accordingly. r~-~-~~c ~C.~( \.-1 U.,J ..... l ,!

Date: iL/2. 7/ oS" , Authorized Executive Officer: 30 Attachment D (continued) PROJECT DESCRIPTION 2005 Emergency Hurricane Supplemental Urban and Community Forestry Grant Program - Part 2 The City of Miami Beach is requesting a $75,000 grant from the Urban and Community Forestry Grant program. Grant money will be spent to plant trees in parks that were most heavily damaged by Hurricane Frances and, to a lesser extent, Hurricane Jeanne, and to remove six over- mature and decaying casuarinas and replace them with live oaks. These projects comply with two of the eligible reforestation practices listed in the grant specifications: a) replacement of trees destroyed or damaged by the storms, and b) replacement of over mature, exotic, or wind-susceptible species with more appropriate ___ species. The City of Miami Beach has not previously received a grant under this program. Miami Beach is one of the most densely populated cities in Florida. As a result, growing space for trees is at a premium, and the loss of trees during storms has perhaps a greater impact than would be true in cities with a denser forest cover. In Miami Beach City Commission meetings, the residents of Miami Beach have expressed strong support for tree planting and a progressive urban forestry program. The City administration shares this support and in 2005 hired an Urban Forester to develop and lead a new urban forestry program. Demonstrated Need: The City of Miami Beach suffered widespread tree damage as a result of tropical storm force winds during the 2004 storms. The exact number of destroyed trees was not documented, but exceeded 250 trees on public land. Many of these trees were large specimens. Debris removal cost $413,152, as detailed in the attached "Hurricane Frances Expense Summary," FEMA reimbursed most of these costs, so they are not included as part of the grant application or match. Well-Defined Goals and Obiectives: With the recent hiring ofan urban forester and strong administrative support for tree planting during all street improvement and development projects, the City of Miami Beach has demonstrated its goal to expand, enhance, and properly manage its urban forest. To do this, the City will need to, both, increase the number, and improve the quality of trees composing the urban forest. Although the loss of trees during recent storms was a setback, it has also provided an opportunity. Weakly rooted trees, trees with defective branch structure, and less desirable species - that is, the trees most likely to have failed - can now be replaced with young trees of more appropriate species, which will be managed to produce strong branch structure and root systems. The grant will help the City to recover from recent tree losses and progress towards its goal. 163 trees (2" - 3" caliper) will be planted in five city parks, as listed in the "Other Supporting Information" section. Six large and declining Australian pines, which dominate one side of the Par 3 Park, will be removed and replaced with native species. These actions will improve the safety and quality of the urban forest. City crews and landscape maintenance contractors, under the supervision of the City's Greenspace Management Division, will maintain all new trees and prune them as needed for strong branch structure, in accordance with recommendations provided on the University of Florida website. Technical Correctness: Tree selection and planting will follow the recommendations given in the draft publication, Considerations for a Healthy Urban Forest: Tropical/Subtropical Trees (Dwyea, Kampf & Littell, UFIIF AS, November 2005), which provides information on how to reduce wind-related tree losses. The tree species to be planted will be selected from the publication's "Highest" and "Medium-High" Wind Resistance Lists. Trees will be planted in groups, where possible, to increase wind finnness. Rooting space and aerial space will be considered during species selection. Where space is adequate, large species will be used to maximize environmental benefits. Water will be providedto trees by automated irrigation systems which already exist on planting sites. Planting and tree maintenance will be supervised by the city's Urban Forester, Chris Latt, Ph.D" who has three forestry degrees and is an ISA certified arborist, and Park Superintendent, Millie McFadden, who is a horticulturist and ISA certified arborist. Planting and maintenance will be performed according to recommendations in the grant attachment, Exhibit C, "Planting and Maintenance Guidelines", and the University of Florida website, Cost Effectiveness: Removal of exotic trees. These trees are too large for removal by the City tree crew, so three qualified companies, which have landscape maintenance contracts with the City, were asked to submit written quotes. Quotes ranged from $29,700 to $18,000. The lowest quote was accepted, but work has not yet started. Experience has demonstrated that bids from these companies are generally lower than bids from companies with whom the City has no on-going relationship. Tree planting. The City will request written quotes from at least three qualified companies. Quotes will include tree purchase, planting, mulch, staking if necessary, and a one-year warranty. It is understood that the maximum allowable cost per tree is $350. The Department of Parks and Recreation will mark planting sites, perform initial site preparation activities, and provide storage space for trees before transportation to the planting site. Unfortunately, the Department does not have sufficient personnel to perform the planting itself. The City of Miami Beach's 25% match will be covered with City revenues spent to replace trees that were destroyed or damaged by the storm, or that went into decline after being uprooted and reset. Invoices are provided for three projects: the removal and replacement of oaks along Washington A venue, replacement trees for Buoy Park, and tree purchases for the Washington Avenue median. Tree City USA Certification: The City does not currently have Tree City USA certification although it has been certified in the past. It is a top priority of the new urban forestry program to establish a tree board and regain Tree City USA certification during 2006. Other Supportine Information: All tree planting and tree work will be located in City parks which are highly visited by residents and tourists. North Shore Open Space Park (34.5 acres) and Pinetree Park (6.5 acres) are the city's largest natural areas. Flamingo Park (36.5 acres) is the city's largest recreation and athletic complex in the southern part of the city. Par 3 Park is a free golf facility. Fairways Park (4.5 acres) is a popular neighborhood park, which contains a tot lot, community center and sports facilities. All tree plantings will be highly visible and will benefit numerous visitors on a daily basis. I f EXHIBIT B BID NUMBER: RFP/DF-05/06-62 OPENING DATE: DECEMBER 30, 2005 @ 2:00 P.M.
