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.
e. Additionally, should any activity result in the exposure and/or damage to any remains, container for remains (e.g., casket or urn), or outer burial container, the contractor must contact the COR, Director/Assistant Director, or Contracting Officer (CO) for guidance.
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.
