The height of the lawn around the office should not exceed five centimeters. In order not to disturb Scholz during work, hedge trimmers and lawnmowers must operate very quietly. In other words, the wishes of a new gardener are quite diverse.
The Federal Chancellery is looking for a landscaping company for 32,000 square meters of green space near the residence of the Head of Government. According to the job application, someone who wants a garden maintenance contract from 2024 must meet a “particularly high standard of performance” and meet requirements that “go well beyond the usual level”. , reports the BILD newspaper.
Namely, the gardeners must, among other things, ensure that the “decorative and utilitarian lawns” in front of the building in the Berlin government district are “unfailingly” maintained at a maximum height of five centimeters. Weekly pruning of green spaces in spring and summer is also included in the terms of the contract.
Stick to strict forms
According to the specifications, the size of the hedge must conform to a “strict geometric shape” and to achieve its “particular precision” the “use of a guide” is necessary. Finally, the open spaces around the chancellery building are used “for high-level events”, including around sixty state visits a year. Therefore, it is necessary to give the territory a “neat and neat appearance.”
In addition to all the requirements, lawn mowers or hedge trimmers must “produce as little noise as possible” and meet a “sound power level” of no more than 98 decibels.
According to the report, all workers employed in the office garden are also required to undergo strict security checks. According to the Bild newspaper, 5.7 million euros are planned for the entire “maintenance of the territory and structuring objects” of the office in the federal budget for 2023.
