LANDSCAPING AND MAINTENANCE STANDARDS All work shall be performed in accordance with the highest landscape maintenance standard, as stated in the Technical Maintenance Specifications. Standards and frequencies may be modified from time to time as deemed necessary by the City for the proper maintenance of the sites. In the judgment of the City, if the level of maintenance is less than that specified herein, the City shall, at its option, in addition to or in lieu of other remedies provided herein, withhold appropriate payment from the Proposer until services are rendered in accordance with specifications set forth within this document; providing no other arrangements have been made between the Proposer and the City. Failure to give notification of a change and/or failure to perform an item of work on scheduled day may result in a deduction of payment for that date or week. Payment will be retained for work not performed until such time as the work is performed to City standards. The Proposer is required to correct deficiencies within the time specified by the City. If noted deficient work has not been completed, payment for subject deficiency shall be withheld during the current billing period and shall continue to be withheld until deficiency is corrected, without right to retroactive payments.
