About this file
This is a Project Coordination and Coordination Drawings specification document (Section 210510) prepared for Amity Regional School District No. 5 in Connecticut for the Bethany Middle School Fire Pump Replacement project. The specification establishes requirements for comprehensive project coordination and the development of coordination drawings that integrate work across multiple trades, including fire protection, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. The document mandates that all trade contractors and sub-contractors collaborate to produce scaled coordination drawings (minimum 1/4" = 1'-0") that accurately represent floor plan layouts, building structure, ceiling systems, equipment placement, piping, ductwork, conduit runs, working clearances, and service connections. The contractor must prepare separate coordination drawings for demolition work, below-slab utilities, site work, and sections through mechanical and electrical rooms. All contractors must sign off on final coordination drawings before installation commences, with periodic updates required to reflect field changes made by Change Order. The specification emphasizes investigation of existing conditions, coordination of investigative work to minimize operational disruption, and adherence to commissioning requirements outlined in Section 019113, including start-up documentation, functional testing, and operator training for fire protection systems.
The specification includes no pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information, as it is a technical requirements document rather than a bid solicitation. The document establishes the contractor's responsibility for managing the coordination process, translating design intent into fabrication drawings, and resolving apparent conflicts in the work through reasonable efforts before involving the Architect/Engineer. The Owner has contracted directly with a Commissioning Agent responsible for coordinating the commissioning team across all design and construction parties. Electronic CAD files of project plans will not be made available to contractors, and BIM model content for mechanical and electrical systems will not be released for contractor coordination purposes.
