Prior to the work, carefully inspect the installed work of other trades and the site conditions and verify <br />that all such work and site conditions are complete to the point where this installation may properly <br />commence. Examine subgrade and rough grade before planting. Alert Landscape Architect about <br />unacceptable rough grading or subgrade. <br /> <br /> B. Start of work shall imply acceptance of the site conditions. <br /> <br /> C. Utilities (Overhead and Underground) <br /> 1. The work area may have existing utilities, such as, but not limited to, fuel, phone, electrical <br />and storm sewer. The locations of some of these existing utilities have been indicated on the <br />Plans. However, no guarantee is implied that the Plans are accurate or complete. It shall be <br />the responsibility of the Landscape contractor to verify the location of all such utilities, <br />structures, etc., by hand excavation or other appropriate measures before performing any work <br />that could result in damage or injury to persons, utilities, structures or property. The <br />Landscape contractor shall make a thorough search of the site for utilities, structures, etc., <br />before work is commenced in any particular location. <br /> 2. The Landscape contractor shall take immediate steps to repair, replace, or restore all services <br />to any utilities or other facilities, which are disrupted due to his or her operations. Further, the <br />Landscape contractor shall engage any additional outside repairs on a continuous "around the <br />clock" basis until services are restored. He or she shall also provide and operate any <br />supplemental temporary services to maintain uninterrupted use of the facilities. All costs <br />involved in the repairs and restoring of disrupted service resulting from negligence on the part <br />of the Landscape contractor shall be borne by the Landscape contractor and he or she shall be <br />fully responsible for any and all claims resulting from the damage. <br /> 3. Should utilities, structures, etc., be encountered which interfere with the work the Landscape <br />Architect shall be consulted immediately in order for a decision to be made on the relocation <br />of the work so it will clear the obstruction, if the obstruction cannot be relocated. <br /> 4. The Landscape contractor shall not purposefully disrupt or disconnect any type of utility <br />whatsoever without first obtaining the written permission of the Owner. Requests for <br />disconnection must be in writing and received by the Owner at least 72 hours prior to the time <br />of the requested interruption. <br /> <br /> 3.02 <br />EXAMINATION OF SUBGRADE: <br />3.03 <br />DRAINAGE OF SOILS: <br /> <br />A. The Landscape contractor shall notify the A/E, in writing, of all soil or drainage conditions that he <br />considers detrimental to growth of plant material. <br /> <br />B. Subsurface Conditions: Some or all work areas may be compacted and/or contain existing material <br />such as limerock which may interfere with adequate vertical drainage and/or proper plant survival <br />and growth and therefore removal of this material is part of the scope of work for the project. The <br />Landscape contractor shall be responsible for insuring adequate drainage in these areas and shall <br />remove this existing material, as required, by such means as auguring, drilling or roto-tilling. <br />THEREFORE, THE LANDSCAPE CONTRACTOR MAY BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM <br />ADDITIONAL EXCAVATION ON THE HOLES FOR ALL PALMS AND TREES. This <br />additional excavation shall be to a depth beyond the required excavation depth indicated below for <br />the holes, in order to insure proper vertical drainage necessary for plant survival and growth. <br /> <br /> <br />LAYOUT OF PLANTING AREAS:
