Statement of Work:Replacement of Mower with Multipurpose Mower/ Snow blower. Fort McHenry is an extremely busy park that is open 12 months of the year. Its grounds keeping and maintenance needs are subsequently of a year-round nature involving mowing 47 acres of turf in the summer. Visitor safety requires clearing several miles of paved trails and parking lots in the winter. In addition to the fort itself the new visitor center will have several plazas and courtyards that require a small light weight machine to clear. Also the equipment used must also be portable enough to transport by truck to Hampton NHS for similar usage there. It is our goal where ever possible to streamline and make these operations more efficient and more environmentally responsible. Storage space as well is at a premium. To that end when we require replacement landscaping equipment we always wish to acquire a multipurpose vehicle rather than two or more single use vehicles. Additionally we must use vehicles power-able by cleaner fuels such as bio-diesel or Ultra -Low Sulphur diesel. Currently we are seeking replacement for a zero turn mower and wish to expand our ability to remove snow and goose droppings from sidewalks and other relatively small and constricted areas.
