Calculating Acreage to be Mowed
In addition to the establishment of non-mow areas, the amount of modified full-width and strip acreage to be mowed must be calculated in whole acre units for each section of roadway. These figures will be used in drawing up contact bid proposals and determining maintenance costs.
Reminder: new policy states that, “Mowing width outside the pavement shall be limited to a maximum of 30 foot in rural areas with very wide rights-of-way or medians.”
