c. Use care not to scratch or damage markers in any manner.
d. Contractor shall be responsible for replacing damaged headstones and markers and for restoring turf damaged during performance of this work.

2. Any doubts as to proper procedures shall be brought to the attention of the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or CO for guidance or resolution.
