STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

DCAMM Standard Specifications are intended for use only on projects of the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The specifications are intended to assist the Designer with incorporating DCAMM and MGL Chapter 149 filed sub-bid requirements in documents used for bidding and construction. Each section will require editing by a registered architect or engineer before issue.

NOTES TO THE DESIGNER

This section is applicable to all new construction including installation of new materials in renovation and remodeling projects. If the project is for only new construction, delete the references to renovations and remodeling. If the project is a renovation project, then Specification Section 017418 should be added.
