Description

1. Term of the Contract

The Weed Spraying Contract (WSC) is for a period of one year commencing on 08 May 2017 - 07 May 2018.

2. Location of work within the Parish

The enclosed maps show the network of roads within the Parish requiring weed spraying. There is also a Weed Spraying Schedule available displaying a summary of the roads requiring this treatment under the contract.

3. Description of the work

The work consists of using appropriate weed-killing and repellant chemicals and to apply them to all the roads (kerbs) and inner pavements identified by Newquay Town Council for the purposes of reducing the number of weeds on said roads and pavements. Chemicals used must be environmentally friendly and approved by DEFRA. The schedule of roads is outlined in a separate document along with associated maps. The total length of roads under this contract is 71.04 km.

4. Timing of work

Spraying must take place on dry days throughout the summer until all the spraying has been completed. 1st Spray must commence during May/June with a 2nd Spray to take place in August/September. Further treatment may be required on particular roads and this should be a consideration when submitting a total cost bid. Newquay Town Council is not likely to pay for a re-spray on a road where either the chemicals/spray has failed or weeds have started to grow for any other reason.
