I. INTRODUC'rIONI
, The Clearwater Executive Airpark is the local aerial point of entry for the
Clearwater community. As such, that facility must present a neat, business
park-like appearance which reflects the civic pride in and careful
stewardship of municipal assets demanded by Clearwater's citizenry. Central
to that appearance is the maintenance of the large areas of grass (sod) on
the Airpark proper. Such close attention to the physical appearance of the
Airpark is also necessary to the safety of Airpark ground operations.
Unkempt, overgrown areas obscure potential hazards to pedestrians, motor
vehicles and aircraft under power. A reliable efficient grounds maintenance
and mowing operator is thus a key factor in the operations of Clearwater
Airpark.
II. JOB REQUIREMENTS:
A. Primary Scope of tbe Work. All sod areas on airport proper and the
adjoining right-of-way are to be mowed. , This includes the areas
between the main runway and the taxiway; areas in and around sod
parking areas for aircraft including areas under and around parked
aircraft; the area between the Airpark parking lot and the right-
of-way on Hercules; runway and taxiway shoulders; and the areas to
the west of the runway now in sod. Areas requiring equipment not
normally associated with "mowing" as a function such as that
required for brush, tree, or other heavy vegetation removal are not
a part of this specification.
B. Minimum Mowina Freauencv. The Airpark is to receive a minimum of
34 mowings per year with the number of mowings per month as shown
below, subject to modification by the Engineering Staff Liaison.

C. Minimum Performance Standards.
1. All grass areas within the Airpark fence are to be mowed and
trimmed to present a clean, neat appearance free of litter,
grass clippings, and other debris.
2. Areas near buildings, fences, hangars, hardstands, and other
structures are to be edged or otherwise trimmed. Chemical
herbicides such as Roundup may be used to control the growth
of vegetation in areas where edging or trimming is not
possible or is otherwise impractical and where the use of the
herbicide will not harm the composition, extent, or coverage
of the turf. In cases, where the City Engineering Department
Staff Liaison determines that damages to the turf is present
or likely, the F.B.O. will be asked to cease the use of
herbicides and resume trimming/edging using mechanical means.
3. ~ll clippings, trash, or other debris generated by mowing
activities shall be removed by the F.B.O. at his expense.
4. All work shall be carried out under the responsibility of and
at the personal direction of the F.B.O.
5. The F.B.O. shall carry out the work with such care and in such
a way as to avoid damage to public and private property.
6. If the F.B.O. fails to satisfy any of the terms of this mowing
specification, the City may hire a mowing contractor to
complete the work and the F.B.O. will be billed for the work.

In conducting its business hereunder, the Lessee acts as an
independent contractor and not as an agent of the Lessor. The

responsibility of Lessee, and Lessor shall not attempt to exercise
control over the daily performance of duties by Lessee' employees.

ASSIGNMEN'l'
This Agreement, nor any part thereof or any interest therein,
shall not be assigned, transferred or subleased by Lessee without
the express written consent of the Lessor which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. This shall include any agreements or
subleases in effect at the commencement of this agreement.
Lessee's failure to obtain Lessors written consent to any
assignment, transfer or sublease shall render such agreement null
and void.
All principals of the Lessee and their respective percentages
of ownership shall be disclosed to the Lessor in writing and it is
expressly agreed that if the Lessee is a corporation, any change
. in the ownership of corporate stock; or if a partnership, the
addi tion to or withdrawal of any partner from the partnership
firm; or the addition to or withdrawal of a principal Lessee in
whatever capacity; by purchase or sale, or operation of law or in
any other manner whatsoever, without the consent of the Lessor
shall be deemed an assignment.
Notwithstanding any attempt by Lessee to assign, transfer or
sublease this Agreement, 'or any part thereof or interest therein,
Lessee shall remain obligated and liable to Lessor for the
performance of all covenants, terms, and conditions, warranties
and other provisions of this Agreement to the same extent that
Lessee would have been obligated and liable if such assignment,
delegation, or sublease had not been attempted, but such attempt
shall be deemed an act of material default by Lessee.
It is understood and agreed that Lessor may,
with notice, assign or delegate any or all of
hereunder.
