104-40 ROADSIDE MOWING.
(REV 9-24-14) (7-17)
The following new Section is added after Section 104:
SECTION 104-40
ROADSIDE MOWING
104-40.1 Description.
Mow grass or vegetation in roadside areas with conventional mowing equipment. Use
specialized equipment or hand labor when required to perform specified work in certain areas or
during certain times. Vegetation consists of planted and/or natural grasses, weeds, and other
vegetation within the area to be mowed. Comply with the current edition of the Department's "A
Guide to Roadside Vegetation Management".
104-40.2 Types of Mowing Areas.
104-40.2.1 General: The Engineer will determine the areas to be cut and type of mowing
to be accomplished in each.
All hand labor required to perform the specified work around appurtenances will
be incidental to the type of mowing being performed. Appurtenances include, but are not limited
to, sign post and bases, delineator post, fences, guardrail, barrier walls, end walls, pipes, drainage
structures, poles, guys, mail boxes, landscaped areas, and trees.
104-40.2.2 Large Machine Mowing: Large machine mowing encompasses the routinely
mowed areas of shoulders, front and back slopes that are 3 horizontal to 1 vertical or less,
roadside ditch bottoms, large median islands and similar areas conducive to the use of large
machine mowing equipment.
104-40.2.3 Slope Mowing: Slope mowing is generally limited to slopes greater or steeper
than 3 horizontal to 1 vertical and are relatively inaccessible to the use of conventional style
equipment, e.g., steep slopes, wet roadside ditch bottoms, canal banks, intersections. overpasses.
etc. These type areas will require the use of specialized equipment designed for slope mowing.
104-40.2.4 Intermediate Machine Mowing: Intermediate machine mowing consists of
mowing areas not accessible by large machine mowing equipment but not conducive to the use
of small machine mowing equipment. These areas consist of shoulders, roadside ditch bottoms,
raised median islands, various width utility strips, and similar areas.
104-40.2.5 Small Machine Mowing: Small machine mowing consists of mowing areas
not accessible by large and intermediate machine mowing equipment. These areas consist of
narrow shoulders, landscaped shoulders, narrow roadside ditch bottoms, raised landscaped
median islands, narrow width utility strips, and similar areas.
104-40.3 Frequency of Mowing.
The area and limits of mowing have been previously established and are distinguishable
in the field. Where landscaping has been established or natural landscaping has been preserved.

Page 24 of 31
mow conforming to the established mowing contours. Mow up to the limits maintained by the
Department and around existing appurtenances located within the roadway right-of-way as
directed by the Engineer.
The Engineer will determine the type of mowing, the estimated number of acres to be
accomplished within a specified number of calendar days (cycle), when to begin each mowing
cycle, and the total number of cycles. Complete each mowing cycle within N/A calendar days
of beginning the cycle, weather permitting. The approximate number of cycles for each type of
mowing will be as follows:
Large Machine Mowing
Slope Mowing
Intermediate Machine Mowing
Small Machine Mowing
Mow Wildflower plots approximately
N/A cycles (N/A minimum cycles)
N/A cycles (N/A minimum cycles)
11 cycles (N/A minimum cycles)
N/A cycles ( N/A minimum cycles)
N/A times per year.
Wildflower plots or naturally occurring wildflowers are to be avoided when in bloom and
when re -seeding. A deduction will not be made from the pay quantities for any wildflower arca
not mowed, unless it exceeds one acre.
Quantities will be agreed upon prior to beginning work in any area in question.
104-40.4 Equipment.
Equip all mowing equipment with a slow moving vehicle sign located on the rear of the
tractor, amber flashing light or white strobe light mounted on the tractor, 18 inch X 18 inch
fluorescent orange warning flags mounted on each side of the rear of the mower, protective
devices on the mower to prevent objects from being thrown into traffic, and safety devices
installed by the manufacturer. Properly install and maintain safety devices at all times when the
equipment is in use.
If the Engineer determines that any equipment is deficient in safety devices, remove the
equipment from service immediately. Keep the equipment out of service until the deficiency is
corrected to the satisfaction of the Engineer. Inspection of the equipment by the Engineer will
not relieve the Contractor of responsibility or liability for injury to persons or damage to property
