Testing shall be done as soon as the concrete may be walked on and correc-
tions made as needed. The contractor shall furnish and have on the job at

finish grade. Bring all planted areas to a smooth, even surface
conforming to established grades after full settlement has occurred.

Inspections: Inspect plantings at least three (3) times per week
throughout establishment period and do all necessary maintenance to
keep plants in prime conditions. Send. weekly maintenance reports to
Engineer indicating all work that has been completed during that week
and any anticipated problems involving additional work. Do additional
watering when, in opinion of .Engineer, soil moisture is below optimum
level for best plant growth.
During establishment period, immediately replace .plants which die or which,
in opinion of Engineer, are unhealthy or in impaired condition. Contrac-
tor shall not be required to replace a plant more than once.
At conclusion of establishment period, Engineer will inspect all plants
