adjustment, and clogging of lines and other sprinkler <br />components. <br />p. All irrigation systems shall be inspected and adjusted <br />on a weekly basis or more frequently as required, <br />considering the water requirements of each remote <br />control valve. A written irrigation tracking sheet <br />indicating the system location, date inspected, and <br />watering schedule shall be submitted to the Projects <br />Manager or designee at the end of each week. <br />q. Contractor shall observe and note deficiencies <br />occurring from the original design of facilities and <br />review these findings with the Projects Manager or <br />designee so necessary improvements can be <br />considered. <br />r. All leaking or defective piping, valves, or other system <br />components shall be repaired within twenty -four (24) <br />hours of detection. <br />s. Particular attention shall be paid to all slope areas, <br />which will, by physical nature, provide for greatest <br />potential runoff, which can contribute to erosion. <br />t. Contractor shall turn off controllers when adequate <br />rainfall is anticipated. <br />u. In the event of irrigation system failure, manual <br />watering required to keep the plant material in a <br />vigorous, healthy condition is to be provided by <br />Contractor at no additional cost to the City. <br />v. At no time shall Contractor utilize a fire hydrant for <br />irrigation purposes without written authorization by <br />Projects Manager or designee. <br />w. Contractor will keep system in operation by valve or <br />head adjustment to keep all systems operating at <br />manufacturer's recommended operating pressure. <br />This shall be accomplished by valve throttling pressure <br />gauging. The valves should be throttled to prevent <br />sprinkler heads from fogging, allowing droplets for <br />effective watering. The Projects Manager or designee <br />may request a coverage test to evaluate proper <br />settings, timing, usage, or maintenance of system. <br />x. All valve boxes, controllers, and backflow devices shall <br />be kept clear of plant growth. <br />
