Article 2 — Equipment
Use a dual or four- wheel drive power maintainer equipped with pneumatic tires, a blade at least 12 ft. long, and a wheelbase of no less than 16 ft. when work is measured and paid for by the number of hours of blading. Provide a scarifier if the maintainer is not equipped with a scarifier attachment.

Work done by hand labor methods adjacent to structures, trees, and other obstructions will not be measured or paid for directly but will be subsidiary to this Item. Work performed under this Item will not include work specified for payment under other Items.
