1.5 Verification of Owner's Survey Data: Prior to commencing any work, the Contractor shall verify the accuracy of all survey data as indicated in these plans and specifica-tions and/or as provided by the Owner. Should the Contractor discover any inaccuracies, errors, or omissions in the data, such items shall immediately be notified to the Architect/Engineer so that proper adjustments can be anticipated and ordered.

Commencement by the Contractor of work shall be held as an acceptance of the data after which time the Contractor has no claim against the Owner resulting from alleged

HVAC GENERAL 230000 - 2 of 12 errors, omissions or inaccuracies of the said data.

1.6 Delivery and Storage of Materials: Materials delivered to site shall be inspected for damage, unloaded, and stored with a minimum of handling. All material shall be stored to provide protection from the weather and accidental damage.

1.7 Extent of work is indicated by the drawings, schedules, and the requirements of the specifications. Singular references shall not be construed as requiring only one device if multiple devices are shown on the drawings or are required for proper system operation.

1.8 Field Measurements and Coordination:

A. The intent of the drawings and specifications is to obtain a complete and satisfactory installation. Separate divisional drawings and specifications shall not relieve the Contractor or subcontractors from full compliance of work of his trade indicated on any of the Drawings or in any Section of the Specifications.
