A. Tree and Shrub Planting

1. Remove only those plants which will be planted the same day. Place such plants in the proposed locations for review and accepted by the City prior to actual planting. Notify the Inspector a minimum of 48 hours prior to day of planting.

2. Dig planting pits as shown on the Plans and as shown in the Parks Construction Standards. Scarify the sides and bottom of pit to prevent glazing. Fill pit completely with water and allow the water to completely drain from the pit prior to actual planting.

3. Relocate any plantings taller than 6” in height that fall in front of any irrigation head in order to ensure proper coverage of the irrigation system.

4. For pits that retain water, completely penetrate the hardpan layer at the bottom of the pit and backfill with topsoil. Fill pit with water to test and ensure proper drainage.

5. Prior to tree planting a central leader needs to be established by structural pruning, as necessary. Codominant leaders need to be removed or suppressed by structural pruning. Refer to the CALFIRE "Tree Training", "Tree Planting", and "Tree Quality" cue cards and "Tree and Plant Root Management Standard and Quality Expectations" contained in Section 5 of these Standards.

6. Plants shall be removed from their containers only at the time of placement within the plant pit. Perform root pruning on all four sides of the root ball by shaving and cutting away the root ball periphery to reduce the amount of circling roots. Starting from the top and then cutting/slicing down to the bottom of the root ball. On a 15 gal container at least 1-1.5 inches of the root ball periphery needs to be removed by slicing or shaving. On a 24” and 36”box tree at least 2 inches of the root ball periphery needs to be removed by slicing or shaving. A sharp hand pruning saw needs to be used for the slicing or shaving of the root ball. Refer to the CALFIRE "Root Management" cue card contained in Section 5 of these Standards. This process will remove many girdling and circling roots deflected by the container wall and allows for root penetration within the planting basin. Spread all roots to the side to allow proper root development. Add native backfill and amendments

Water Audit Guidelines
Coverage Tests and Irrigation Audits for City of Roseville Parks and Streetscapes Purpose:
• Maximize irrigation water efficiency by ensuring proper installation and functioning of irrigation system as designed.
• Analyze water requirements and irrigation use in the context of each site’s unique conditions.
• Develop irrigation schedules based on water requirements, quality and availability.
• Make maintenance recommendations to keep the irrigation system working reliably and cost effectively.

Coverage Tests:
• Prior to planting, the Contractor shall perform a coverage test to confirm that water coverage is complete and adequate, and produces no overspray onto hardscapes.
• Performed on the entire irrigation system and in the presence of the Parks Inspector.
• The irrigation system must be connected to the City water system through the water meter. Temporary connections are not allowed.
• For park projects with turf:
o Survey of the Distribution Uniformity (Low Quarter) of each irrigation zone containing turf to be performed prior to planting of turf. o The irrigation system must be 100% complete, including functionality of the irrigation controller and booster pump, if present. o Accurately record catch can results mapped onto the irrigation sheet(s) o Reported deficiencies in Distribution Uniformity may require corrective measures prior to approval of turf planting.

Irrigation Audits:
• A landscape irrigation audit shall be performed after all landscape and irrigation is installed and 100% complete.
• All landscape irrigation audits shall be conducted by a third party certified landscape irrigation auditor. Landscape audits shall not be conducted by the person who designed the landscape or installed the landscape. • The water audit shall conform to the specific water audit requirements of the City of Roseville Environmental Utilities Department, and any supplemental requirements from the City of Roseville Parks, Recreation & Libraries

City of Roseville, Parks, Recreation & Libraries
Water Audit Guidelines
Department. The contractor shall submit a comprehensive landscape irrigation audit. This shall include, but is not limited to:
o A completed Field Audit Submission Package (City of Roseville provided forms only)
o Complete system evaluation, including site conditions, system and flow data.
o Scheduling parameters used to set the irrigation controller. o An Irrigation schedule for the landscape provided to the owner. • A minimum of 25% of all zones shall be audited. The 25% minimum shall be a representative sample of each irrigation method present (i.e. Rotors, bubblers, rotary nozzles, drip, etc.), and is in addition to any turf zones audited during the coverage test.
• Any deficiencies noted in the audit report such as, but not limited to, run-off, overspray, obstruction of spray patterns, etc., shall be corrected and signed off as such by the original irrigation auditor prior to submission of the report. Do not submit audit reports with uncorrected deficiencies.

Best Management Practices for Preparing for a Water Audit System tune-up • Level and adjust sprinkler heads flush with finish grades or as outlined in the
Parks Construction Standards.
• Flush all nozzles, unplug any plugs.
• Adjust spray patterns to eliminate
overspray over hardscapes, fences and
walls.
• Double check all heads are matched
precipitation rates per station.

Calculate correct run times.

Develop water schedules based on weather
and/or fine tune the water schedules
• Recognize that each station’s
performance will vary. Adjust schedules
outlined in the approved plans
accordingly.
• Reflect changes in actual site conditions
and microclimates.
• Make notations of schedule adjustments
on the as-built plans.

Test operating pressures • Test pressure at the point of connection (after the backflow), middle of the
system and at the end of the system.
• Consider pressure changes at build-out.

FOR COUNCIL APPROVAL

The next update to these standards will be in July 20252027.

PREFACE
The purpose of these construction standards is to set a minimum standard to be applied to the design and construction of park and streetscape projects within the City of Roseville. These standards are intended to apply to City-generated projects as well as Developer-generated (“Turn-Key”) projects. To maintain a standard level of consistency, these requirements shall be applied by all Consultants, Developers, and Contractors.

Standard Construction Practice methodology has been applied to the creation of these standards. It is difficult to anticipate all situations, which may require the use of these standards, therefore, modifications, on a case-by-case basis, may be necessary.

Proposed changes shall be reviewed by the Parks, Recreation & Libraries department prior to any modifications. These standards are not intended to replace federal, state, or local codes.

This document is organized into six sections:
 The first section discusses design guidelines and expectations.  The second section outlines construction document preparation, Developer responsibilities for “Turn-Key” projects and inspection requirements.  The third section references the City of Roseville’s General Conditions for Buildings and Grounds. (See supplemental)
 The fourth section includes the Park’s standard for technical specifications, section numbers, and formatting. These specification sections make up the “backbone” of the specification package. Additional information and specifications sections will and should be added by the Consultant to ensure that all project parameters are included in the final package. The City of Roseville Department of Public Works Design and Construction Standards is referenced as it applies to the type of work required to be performed.
 The fifth section contains the standard forms that would apply to each construction project.
 Lastly, the sixth section contains the standard details typically used in a park project.

These details are those that can and should be standardized. Additional details specific to the project are to be prepared by the Consultant and included in the contract documents.

The next update to these standards will be in July 20252027. 

Design Guidelines and Preferred Materials Checklist
These guidelines do not replace adopted Specific Plan Design Guidelines for landscape medians and street frontages. These Specific Plan Design Guidelines also contain conceptual guidance for improved park amenities. For all master plans, the proposed design shall include elements outlined in the adopted Specific Plan to the extent possible.

Grading
 Do not grade turfed slopes greater than 4:1 (25%) as it cannot be easily mowed. If possible, provide a 60” minimum flat bench at top of slope.  Crown playing fields such as baseball, softball, and soccer, at a minimum of 1.5%, preferably 2should be between 1.5% and2%.
 Consider spectator areas when grading the play field sidelines. Provide adequate level areas for spectator seating.
 Provide for a not-to-exceed 2% cross slope on walkways, unless it can be demonstrated that compliance of the 2% cross slope negatively impacts the usability of the park.  Longitudinal slopes on walks may vary when necessary given the site-specific terrain.

Do not exceed 20:1 (5%) without providing handrails per the ADA regulations and the California Title 24 Building Code.
 Ensure compliance with Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), California Title 24 Building Code (Title 24) and minimize the need for handrails whenever possible.  Hard court surfaces shall be graded at 1%.
 Obtain the current standard notes for grading from the Development Services Engineering Division. These can be found online.
 Comply with the City of Roseville Oak Tree Ordinance.  Slopes greater than 3:1 are not permitted. If unavoidable circumstances arise during construction, a solution for future erosion of bark and soils must be provided for all slopes greater than 3:1. A drainage plan showing a constructed drainage solution must be provided. An example is to place drain inlets at point discharges and a swale two feet from back of walk. Approval of the proposed drainage solution must be obtained from the Parks and Recreation Department prior to installation.

Drainage
 Confirm and indicate depth of storm drain stub.
 Locate all clean-outs OUTSIDE of the play area, within planting or turf.  Provide a combination system using a main drain inlet and a perforated pipe (in a drain rock filled trench) drainage system to capture long runs or isolated areas within the play area. Slope subgrade to drain inlets. Locate drainage so that it does not conflict with play equipment.
 Do not locate drains within or immediately adjacent to a play field.  Do not use drop inlets smaller than sixteen inches (16”) square or diameter for landscape areas and twenty-four inches (24”) minimum for all other areas. Drop inlets shall be concrete.
 Refer to Parks Standard Construction Details and Public Works, Development Services’ Design and Construction Standards, and Roseville Electric’s Commerical Specifications. Ensure the plan reference is to the most recent edition.

Parks, Recreation, & Libraries Department Section 1A: Design Preliminaries

The next update to these standards will be in July 20252027.  For swales in planted or turf areas, ensure a minimum slope of 2%. Avoid swales in turf whenever possible.
