responsibility for any revisions necessary -
Plant count is for the convenience of the landscape contractor. Contractor is responsible to verify all plant counts.
Required Field Observations Work: These plans were prepared with the understanding that the owner of said plans will use
Lynn Capouya, Inc. (LCI) to provide 'full' contract services during field observation services during construction. - Failure to
use LCI to provide and complete the field observation services set forth herein will significantly increase the risk of loss
resulting, among other causes, from misinterpretation of the intent of the design, unauthorized modifications thereto, and
failure to detect errors and omissions in the plans and specification before they become costly mistakes built into the
project. Therefore, in the event that LCI is otherwise precluded from completing the field observation services set forth
