SECTION XVI <br /> GUARANTEE AND/OR REPLACEMENT POLICY <br /> A. General Specifications <br /> 1. Plant Health Care (PHC): The Plant Health Care approach to managing trees and shrubs <br /> recognizes that, in most cases, plant health problems are the result of many factors, not just a <br /> single agent. PHC takes a holistic approach when making management decisions that <br /> focuses on plants and their interactions with the living and nonliving elements of the <br /> landscape. <br /> 2. PHC attempts to prevent problems before they start. Managing plants health involves proper <br /> planning, plant selection and a wide range of cultural practices aimed at improving site and <br /> soil conditions. When combined with careful monitoring to identify pests in the initial stages <br /> these practices greatly reduce dependence on pesticides. <br /> 3. All new plant material and irrigation installations shall be guaranteed for a period of one (1) <br /> calendar year, unless damage or death of plant material is due to wind, storm, vandalism, <br /> riots, war, fire, flood, earthquakes or other events over which the Contractor has no control. <br /> 4. Existing plants shall be replaced by Contractor if it is determined by the CR that they were <br /> damaged or destroyed due to Contractor's negligence. <br /> RFP 23-151 Landscape Maintenance Services Page 60 of 135 <br />
