Description

The works consists of up to 3 applications (per annum) of approved herbicide to all of the adopted highway footpaths (circa 1280km consisting of tarmac, slabs, block paving, etc.), back of path edges, walkways, splitter islands, channels, ginnels, edges of all metalled roads and all cobbled areas throughout the borough of Rochdale to provide as near to as possible total weed control.\r
\r
The overall aim is to achieve as close as possible 100% total weed control.\r
\r
To achieve a cleaner more attractive borough, the council is tendering for a weed spraying service to treat specific areas of adopted highway across the borough to prevent the growth of weeds likely to interfere with the highway e.g. create a hazard, cause structural damage, affect drainage, cause a trip hazard or become unsightly.\r
\r
It is proposed that the contractor will deliver three applications of MAFF registered herbicide or other approved chemical as appropriate to Rochdale's adopted highways as specified above.\r
\r
Application should take place as directed by Rochdale Borough Council's Authorised Officer but typically during spring, summer and autumn, at timings which coincide with optimum weed growth.\r
