Specifications include, but are not limited to: The removal of specified stumps within an ORTHO with specified boundaries identified and defined by the City of Wichita. The bid price will include all debris removal and clean-up resulting from grinding the stump and surface roots to a minimum of 6” below grade (surface roots outside of ROW boundaries will not be considered a part of this contract), removing the stump chips to a minimum of 3” below grade and refilling the void with shredded topsoil leaving the topsoil tamped and mounded at 2-3 inches above grade to account for settling over time. This will result in an approximate 6” depth of top soil to be in the center of the mounded area. Clean-up and soil application should result in a clean street and curb area, driveway and sidewalk where applicable. Stump chips will be raked out of the turf area so that a minimum amount of chips are left in the turf and will be such a volume as to not impede turf growth due to the remaining chips. (Example: for turf that is healthy and mowed at 2+ inches, no chips should be visible from inside a passing vehicle.) Bare ground will be free of stump chips. Applied top soil will be tamped and extend only to the border of the grinding area.
