Per the Scope of Work, at a minimum, all turf areas shall be maintained at least once a week in the months of April through October and biweekly during the months of November through March Q3. Per the scope of work section G. Fertilization on page 32 of the bid specifications, will contractors be required to apply fertilizer to turf areas? Or, is fertilization only required for landscaped bed areas and ornamental trees? If fertilization of turf is required, will you please specify the number of applications contractors will be responsible for? A3. At a minimum, 2 times per year. Q4. Will you please provide the previous bid tabulation for contractors to reference? A4. The current contract is available as a reference on the city’s website at https://www.ocoee.org/Archive.aspx?AMID=53 Addendum 01 – RFP 26-007 Landscape, Landscape Maintenance and Mowing Services Q5. Please confirm that contractors can leave the sample agreement provided blank when submitting their proposal. A5. Yes, Respondents may leave the Proposed Agreement blank; however, Respondents are responsible for reviewing the Proposed Agreement prior to submitting a proposal. Q6. Similarly, please confirm that the bid bond form(s) is to be filled out upon award, not upon bid submittal, and that contractors will only be required to submit their bid bond itself. A6. This RFP requires a Bid Security in the amount of 5% of Respondent’s bid amount to be submitted with Respondent’s Proposal. If a Respondent uses the Bid Bond as its form of bid security, the Bid Bond that is provided within the RFP Documents must be completed and submitted with Respondent’s Proposal. Q7. Is the current scope the same scope being performed by your landscape provider or have there been adjustments on what is included and corresponding frequencies? A7. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q8. Do you have a copy of the current agreement in place with your landscape provider? A8. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q9. Are annual flowers to be included and do you have a count of how many you would like to see installed on each rotation. How many rotations per year if they are to be included? A9. They are included in City Hall only. 4 times seasonally including the holiday theme in November/December. Q10. Can you please expand upon what is expected for irrigation? The way we read it, it sounds like an initial inspection is to be performed with us and your teams, then we need to notify you if we see any breaks or dry areas while servicing the site on a week ly basis (sort of like a visual inspection only), then if we break something we are responsible for those repairs. But the irrigation inspection and repairs are done by your team and we would have no responsibility for physically turning on the system and making repairs on a monthly basis? A10. There will be an initial inspection and repairs will be done by City Staff unless the city requests a written quote from the Contractor for the repairs. The successful Contractor is responsible for making sure the irrigation timers are on and working during their monthly inspections and during their weekly visual inspections done during the mowing schedule. Q11. How many frequencies per year does turf need to be fertilizing? I see shrubs/trees/palms are 2x per year, but it’s not clear how many frequencies for turf. A11. At a minimum, 2 times per year. Addendum 01 – RFP 26-007 Landscape, Landscape Maintenance and Mowing Services Q12. Is fertilization on the turf/shrubs/trees/palms on irrigated areas only or city wide landscaping regardless of irrigation being present. A12. It should be fertilized with or without irrigation. Q13. Do you have a list of sites that are irrigated vs non-irrigated? A13. No. Q14. What is the expectation for South side of Unity Park for maintenance? It seems the south side has a more natural look and north side is more manicured. It may just be that the south side is closer to water and access for grass cutbacks and spraying is mor e limited closer to water on South side. A14. Unity Park is an all-native park and should be kept weed free. Q15. Per page 32, line item F, please confirm the labor associated with contractors repairing irrigation damage NOT caused by the contractor, be billed separately as an additional billable. A15. Yes. Q16. Can you provide us with the previous RFP number? A16. RFP 20-005. Q17. Could you please provide the estimated or current annual budget allocated for this contract? A17. See Answer A1. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q18. Could you also provide a copy of the current or most recently executed contract for these services? A18. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum.

(RCI) has demonstrated a consistent commitment to workplace safety, as evidenced by its declining Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred (DART) and Total Case Rate (TCR) metrics. In 2020, RCI reported a DART of 0.53 and a TCR of 0.50, which steadily decreased to 0.41 and 0.40, respectively, in 2021. This downward trend continued into 2022, with DART and TCR improving to 0.23 and 0.20, and reached a five-year low in 2023 at 0.10 for both metrics. Although 2024 reflected a slight increase to a DART of 0.19 and a TCR of 0.20, the organization’s performance remains well below industry averages for landscaping and grounds maintenance operations. This trend reflects the effectiveness of RCI’s safety protocols, incident prevention measures, and continuous workforce training initiatives, highlighting a sustained culture of safety excellence.

A toolbox talk, is a short and informal safety discussion held among workers and management. It typically occurs at the worksite, often near the equipment and tools, and lasts 10 to 15 minutes. A toolbox talk aims to address specific safety issues or concerns relevant to the job and reinforce safe work practices. RCI’s Corporate Safety Representative distributes weekly Toolbox Talk materials with sign in sheets to verify completion to all members of our organization on a weekly basis. When Are They Done? Toolbox talks are typically conducted before the start of a work shift or at the beginning of a specific task. They are often a daily or weekly routine, especially in high-risk industries like construction, manufacturing, and mining. These talks allow employees to prepare for their tasks mentally, highlight potential hazards, and set the tone for a safety-focused workday. Toolbox talks are particularly useful when introducing new equipment or procedures, as they help familiarize workers with any changes and potential risks.

Managers serve as a key communication link between the client, field supervisors, enhancement teams, irrigation personnel, and administrative staff. Because this role is responsible for identifying site conditions, communicating corrective actions, coordinating service requests, reviewing quality expectations, and assisting with compliance-related items, Turfscape requires ongoing education to support informed decision-making and consistent professional service delivery. Program Commitment Turfscape Enterprises is committed to providing continuous education and professional development opportunities to Managers through a combination of: •Internal training and quarterly refresher discussions. •Review of company standard operating procedures and quality control records. •Participation in public industry training programs. •Attendance at Florida-specific green industry courses. •Review of updated regulations, client requirements, and municipal standards. •Field-based training with supervisors, regional managers, enhancement specialists, irrigation personnel, and licensed applicators. Managers are expected to participate in training throughout the year and maintain a working knowledge of current best practices applicable to commercial landscape maintenance in Florida. 5 Florida Green Industries Best Management Practices Training A core component of the Managers development plan is education in Florida Green Industries Best Management Practices, commonly referred to as GI-BMPs. The GI-BMP program is administered through the University of Florida IFAS Florida-Friendly Landscaping Program and is designed for green industry workers, including lawn care and landscape professionals. The training teaches safe and responsible landscape practices that help protect Florida’s ground and surface waters. Turfscape requires managers to complete or maintain familiarity with GI-BMP training because it directly supports responsible landscape management practices, including: •Landscape maintenance best practices. •Irrigation awareness. •Fertilization practices. •Pesticide application awareness. •Protection of Florida’s ground and surface waters. •Reduction of nonpoint source pollution. •Environmentally responsible site management.

Managers attend public training programs related to irrigation and water conservation, including: •Florida Water Star Accredited Professional training. •Florida Irrigation Society education programs. •Irrigation Association landscape irrigation certification resources. •UF/IFAS irrigation BMP courses. Manager irrigation training focuses on: •Recognizing visible signs of overwatering or underwatering. •Understanding the relationship between irrigation coverage and turf/plant health. •Identifying irrigation issues that require escalation. •Communicating irrigation deficiencies to clients. •Coordinating repairs with irrigation technicians. •Supporting water conservation and responsible scheduling practices. Tree, Pruning, and Arboricultural Awareness Managers receive ongoing education in tree and pruning awareness so that tree-related observations, hazards, clearance issues, and enhancement opportunities can be properly identified and escalated.

This training supports the Manager’s ability to: •Recognize when traffic control may be required. •Communicate safety expectations to field supervisors. •Understand limitations of work near active roadways. •Support client and public safety expectations. •Ensure site concerns are escalated before unsafe work occurs. • Internal Training Program In addition to public training programs, Turfscape maintains an internal development process for Account Managers.

ONE (1) CITY OF OCOEE RFQ #26-007 LANDSCAPING, LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE, AND MOWING SERVICES This addendum shall modify and become a part of the original RFP Documents. This addendum consists of three (3) pages. Respondents should acknowledge receipt of this addendum in the space provided in the RFP Documents. Failure to do so may subject the Respondent to disqualification. The submission deadline remains the same. Answers to questions received and Amendments to the RFP Documents are as follows: Q1. Will you please provide a budget number for contractors to reference? A1. Estimated $600,000.00. Q2. Will you please provide an anticipated number of mowing visits per year? Per the provided mowing schedule in the scope of work, would this number be 38? A2. Per the Scope of Work, at a minimum, all turf areas shall be maintained at least once a week in the months of April through October and biweekly during the months of November through March Q3. Per the scope of work section G. Fertilization on page 32 of the bid specifications, will contractors be required to apply fertilizer to turf areas? Or, is fertilization only required for landscaped bed areas and ornamental trees? If fertilization of turf is required, will you please specify the number of applications contractors will be responsible for? A3. At a minimum, 2 times per year. Q4. Will you please provide the previous bid tabulation for contractors to reference? A4. The current contract is available as a reference on the city’s website at https://www.ocoee.org/Archive.aspx?AMID=53 Addendum 01 – RFP 26-007 Landscape, Landscape Maintenance and Mowing Services Q5. Please confirm that contractors can leave the sample agreement provided blank when submitting their proposal. A5. Yes, Respondents may leave the Proposed Agreement blank; however, Respondents are responsible for reviewing the Proposed Agreement prior to submitting a proposal. Q6. Similarly, please confirm that the bid bond form(s) is to be filled out upon award, not upon bid submittal, and that contractors will only be required to submit their bid bond itself. A6. This RFP requires a Bid Security in the amount of 5% of Respondent’s bid amount to be submitted with Respondent’s Proposal. If a Respondent uses the Bid Bond as its form of bid security, the Bid Bond that is provided within the RFP Documents must be completed and submitted with Respondent’s Proposal. Q7. Is the current scope the same scope being performed by your landscape provider or have there been adjustments on what is included and corresponding frequencies? A7. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q8. Do you have a copy of the current agreement in place with your landscape provider? A8. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q9. Are annual flowers to be included and do you have a count of how many you would like to see installed on each rotation. How many rotations per year if they are to be included? A9. They are included in City Hall only. 4 times seasonally including the holiday theme in November/December. Q10. Can you please expand upon what is expected for irrigation? The way we read it, it sounds like an initial inspection is to be performed with us and your teams, then we need to notify you if we see any breaks or dry areas while servicing the site on a week ly basis (sort of like a visual inspection only), then if we break something we are responsible for those repairs. But the irrigation inspection and repairs are done by your team and we would have no responsibility for physically turning on the system and making repairs on a monthly basis? A10. There will be an initial inspection and repairs will be done by City Staff unless the city requests a written quote from the Contractor for the repairs. The successful Contractor is responsible for making sure the irrigation timers are on and working during their monthly inspections and during their weekly visual inspections done during the mowing schedule. Q11. How many frequencies per year does turf need to be fertilizing? I see shrubs/trees/palms are 2x per year, but it’s not clear how many frequencies for turf. A11. At a minimum, 2 times per year. Addendum 01 – RFP 26-007 Landscape, Landscape Maintenance and Mowing Services Q12. Is fertilization on the turf/shrubs/trees/palms on irrigated areas only or city wide landscaping regardless of irrigation being present. A12. It should be fertilized with or without irrigation. Q13. Do you have a list of sites that are irrigated vs non-irrigated? A13. No. Q14. What is the expectation for South side of Unity Park for maintenance? It seems the south side has a more natural look and north side is more manicured. It may just be that the south side is closer to water and access for grass cutbacks and spraying is mor e limited closer to water on South side. A14. Unity Park is an all-native park and should be kept weed free. Q15. Per page 32, line item F, please confirm the labor associated with contractors repairing irrigation damage NOT caused by the contractor, be billed separately as an additional billable. A15. Yes. Q16. Can you provide us with the previous RFP number? A16. RFP 20-005. Q17. Could you please provide the estimated or current annual budget allocated for this contract? A17. See Answer A1. on Page 1 of this Addendum. Q18. Could you also provide a copy of the current or most recently executed contract for these services? A18. See Answer A4. on Page 1 of this Addendum.
