mowing is 15 acres per cycle. The quantity of acres for this line represents 15 acres per
mowing cycle with an estimate of 25 cycles. Mow and
trim the lawn areas of the Rowan County Commercial Vehicle Monitoring ( CVM) Stations ( Loadometer Stations) on I- 64 Westbound. The total acreage for turf
mowing is 2 acres per cycle with an estimate of 25 cycles. This would equate to 17 acres per cycle for approximately 425 acres per season. The number of cycles per season may vary up or down depending upon weather conditions, and the actual number of cycles shall be determined by the Department. . Perform the
mowing operation with commercial grade turf type
mowing equipment not less than 48" and not more than 72" in width. A small

mowing immediately. The Department will direct the time and place for
mowing to begin. If a
mowing cycle is delayed because of weather conditions or other problems that results in a build up of grass clippings ( bio- mass), remove or disperse the clippings over the area to eliminate unsightly build- up of debris and to prevent the smothering of the turf. Perf
