OAK GROVE PARK � � TREESCAPE PROJECT TECHNICAL PROPOSAL �� _ OBJECTIVE � The City of Grapevine originally leased the current Grapevine Baseball complex in 1969 for the development of its first two baseball fields . Since that time little league baseball participation has grown to 1, 500 in 1993 with six baseball fields . Voters in March of 1992 voted to spend $600, 000 to construct two 300 foot fields, lighted, and irrigated, a concession stand, and renovate one existing field. Funds were efficiently used to accomplish that project . However, funds were not sufficient enough to complete the landscape concept of the Master Plan. (Exhibit "A" ) The City had intended to plant trees over a five year period to help shade the many youth and spectators visiting the park. The planting of the proposed 190 trees in this grant, would complete the treescape concept of the Oak Grove Master Plan and positively enhance the natural surrounding of Grapevine Lake . PLANTING LOCATION The project is focused on the Little League Baseball Complex in Oak Grove Park on scenic Grapevine Lake. The trees will be placed to delineate parking areas, shade spectators and participants, playgrounds, and enhance the overall natural beauty of Grapevine Lake . A total of _ 190 trees will be planted of the following species and sizes : Number of Caliper Commcn Name Scientific Name Trees Size Pecan Carya illinoensis 21 3 " Redbud, Oklahoma Cercis canadensis var. Oklahoma 15 2" Eastern Ree� Cedar Juniperus virginiana 15 8' -10' -' ' height Crepemyrtle Lagerstroemia indica 15 8' -10' height multi-cane Chinese Pistache Pistacia chinensis - 12 3 " Bur Oak Quercus macrocarpa 16 3 " Shumard Oak Quercus shumardi 36 3 " Cedar Elm Ulmus crassifolia 12 3 " Lacebark Elm Ulmus parvifolia 15 3 " Live Oak Quercus virginiana 12 3" Baldcypress Taxodium distichum 21 • 3" Total 190 �STANDARDS 1) Site selection and preparation-- The contractor shall stake all tree locations according to the landscape plans and then wait for approval �N� for the City and all utility companies before digging holes . Holes �;-.� shall be dug a minimum of 12" larger in diameter than the root ball and the same depth as the root ball . 2) Planting-- Al1 trees shall be set in holes, centered, and planted to �"� such a depth so that the finished grade around the tree after settlement will be the same as that at which the tree was grown. Each tree shall be faced to give the best appearance from the street . Rope, wire and/or burlap from the top of the root ball shall be removed and tucked under the root ball . Native soil shall be used as backfill . The hole shall be filled to the finished grade and a water-holding basin twice the diameter of the root ball shall be constructed around each tree . The contractor shall water the trees upon installation but not thereafter. Finally, all excess soil and debris shall be removed from the site upon completion of work. 3) The planting methods and overall care and maintenance program must conform to the standards set forth in Section 11 . 0 (Tree Planting Guidelines) . USE OF SMALL BUSINESSES Treescaping Oak Grove Park can involve as many as six (6) small businesses : one (1) to design the treescape plan, one (1) to design the drip irrigation system, two (2) to purchase the trees from, one (1) to install the irrigation system, and one (1) to install the trees . � �DMINISTRATION OF PROJECT �� The project will be administered by Joe Moore, Assistant Director of Parks and Recreation.
