IN NO EVENT SHALL FAILURE TO INSPECT THE SITE CONSTITUTE GROUNDS FOR A CLAIM AFTER CONTRACT AWARD IMPORTANT NOTE REGARDING PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: Period of performance is estimated and based on weather, soil conditions and weed phenology. It is expected that the selected contractor(s) will be available following award and can start the project as soon as weather, ground and weed conditions allow.
