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 />
