These will be <br />supplied at Contractor's expense. <br />5. Proper alignment (vertical straightness, operational height of nozzle) will require <br />raising/lowering/leveling of the sprinklers and shall be done at Contractor's sole expense. <br />6. Plants blocking the sprinkler pattern will require the technician to mark the plant material <br />with paint and coordinate the trimming/removal with the CR. <br />RFP 23-151 Landscape Maintenance Services Page 30 of 135 <br />
