SECTION 01 31 00 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.1 SCOPE

A. This Section specifies administrative and supervisory requirements necessary for project coordination including, but not necessarily limited to:

1. General Project Coordination Procedures.

2. Contractor's personnel.

3. General installation provisions.

4. Cleaning and protection.

1.2 COORDINATION

A. Coordination: Coordinate construction activities included under various Sections of these specifications in order to assure efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work. Coordinate construction operations included under different Sections of the Specifications that are dependent upon each other for proper installation, connection, and operation.

1. Where installation of one part of the Work is dependent on installation of other components, either before or after its own installation, schedule construction activities in the sequence required to obtain the best results.

2. Where availability of space is limited, coordinate installation of different components to assure maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service and repair.

3. Make adequate provisions to accommodate items scheduled for later installation.

B. Conservation: Coordinate construction activities in order to ensure that operations are carried out with consideration given to conservation of energy, water, and materials.

1.3 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT

A. No separate measurement or payment will be made for work specified in this section.

PART 3 – EXECUTION

3.1 GENERAL INSTALLATION PROVISION

PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION Section 01 31 00-2

A. Inspection of Conditions: Require the installer of each major component to inspect both the substrate and conditions under which Work is to be performed. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in an acceptable manner.

B. Manufacturer's Instructions: Comply with manufacturer's installation instructions and recommendations, to the extent that those instructions and recommendations are more explicit or stringent than requirements contained in Contract Documents.

C. Inspect materials or equipment immediately upon delivery and again prior to installation. Reject damaged and defective items.

D. Provide attachment and connection devices and methods necessary for securing Work. Secure Work true to line and level. Allow for expansion and building movement.

E. Visual Effects: Provide uniform joint widths in exposed Work. Arrange joints in exposed Work to obtain the best visual effect. Refer questionable choices to the Contracting Officer for final decision.

F. Recheck measurements and dimensions before starting each installation.

G. Install each component during weather conditions and Project status that will ensure the best possible results. Isolate each part of the completed construction from incompatible material as necessary to prevent deterioration.

H. Coordinate temporary enclosures with required inspections and tests, to minimize the necessity of uncovering completed construction for that purpose.

I. Mounting Heights: Where mounting heights are not indicated, install individual components at standard mounting heights recognized within the industry for the particular application indicated.

Refer questionable mounting height decisions to the Contracting Officer for final decision.

J. Any damage to or interruption of utilities caused by Contractor or Contractor’s personnel shall be repaired by Contractor and utility restored to full use immediately. The Contractor shall replace all damaged work, materials and equipment with new of like kind or equal, as approved by the Contracting Officer. All repairs shall be in accordance with all local, State, County, Federal building codes and standards.

3.2 CLEANING AND PROTECTION

A. During handling and installation, clean and protect construction in progress and adjoining materials in place. Apply protective covering where required to ensure protection from damage or deterioration.

B. Clean and maintain completed construction as frequently as necessary through the remainder of the construction period. Adjust and lubricate operable components to ensure operability without damaging effects.
