Definition; Manufactured Product: A physical item for incorporation into the work, which has been produced from raw or natural materials by a manufacturing process, and which is purchased from a manufacturer ei-ther specifically for the work or for Contractor's/Sub-contractor's/Fabricator's/Installer's stock for which it is drawn for incorpora-tion into the work.

SPECIFIC WARRANTIES 01640 - 2

C. Explanation: This section specified general requirements for special pro-ject warranties, specified product warranties, and coincidental product warranties. It is recognized that required "certifications" and other com-mitments and agreements for continuing services to Owner, flowing out of Contract, are similar to requirements of this section, and are specified elsewhere in contract documents.

D. Refer to individual sections of Division 2 through 16 for determination of units of work which are required to be specifically or individually warrant-ed, and for specific requirements and terms of those warranties.

E. Refer to the General Conditions for terms of Contractor's general warran-ties.

F. General Limitations: It is recognized that specific warranties are intended primarily to protect Owner against failure of work to perform workmanship, regardless of sources. Except as otherwise indicated, specific warranties do not cover failures in work which result from:

1. Unusual and abnormal phenomena of the elements,

2. The Owner's misuse, maltreatment or improper maintenance of the work,

3. Vandalism after the time of substantial completion, or

4. Insurrection or acts of aggression including war.

G. Although manufacturers' commitments in product warranties on products used in the work are generally written to exclude product failures which result from failure of other work (such as failure of substrate supporting product), such limitations in product warranties do not relieve Contractor of the more general warranties on work which incorporates use of such products. Except as otherwise indicated, this same relationship applies to units of work performed by other entities (other than manufacturers), such as fabricators, installers and sub-contractors who are required to counter-sign special project warranties with Contractor for such units or work.

H. Related Damages and Losses: In connection with Contractor's correction of warranted work which has failed, remove and replace other work of pro-ject which has been damaged as a result of such failure, or must be re-moved and replaced to provide access for correction of such warranted work.

I. Consequential Damages: Except as otherwise indicated or required by governing regulations, specific warranties are extended to cover damage (other than work of Contract) which occurs as a result of failure of such

SPECIFIC WARRANTIES 01640 - 3

warranted work.

J. Reinstatement of Warranty Period: Except as otherwise indicated, when work covered by a special project warranty or specified product warranty has failed and has been corrected by replacement or restoration, reinstate such warranty by written endorsement for a period of time equal to original warranty period of time, starting on date of acceptance of replaced or re-stored work.

K. Replacement Cost, Obligations: Upon determination within warranty peri-od that a unit of work covered by a special project warranty or a product covered by a specified product warranty has failed, proceed promptly to replace or restore work or product to acceptable condition complying with requirements of contract document. Except as otherwise indicated herein, cost of replacing or restoring such failing work or product is Contractor's obligation, without regard for whether Owner has already benefited from use of failing work or product through a portion of its anticipated useful service life.

L. Owner's Recourse: Except as otherwise indicated, specific warranties do not diminish implied warranties, and shall not deprive Owner of actions, rights and remedies otherwise available for Contractor's failure to fulfill re-quirements of contract documents, nor shall periods of warranties by in-terpreted as limitations on time in which Owner can pursue such actions, rights or remedies.

M. Rejection of Warranties: Owner reserves the right, at time of substantial completion or thereafter, to reject coincidental product warranties submit-ted by Contractor, which in sole opinion of Owner tend to detract from or confuse interpretation of requirements of the contract documents. Limit selections and purchases to products where coincidental product warran-ties are not in conflict with the requirements of the contract documents.

N. Contractor's Procurement Obligations: Do not purchase, subcontract for, or allow others to purchase or sub-contract for materials or product war-ranty, certification or similar commitment is required, until it has been de-termined that entities required to countersign such commitments are will-ing to do so. Refer seemingly irresolvable instances to Engineer for ad-ministrative or procedural consultation before proceeding.

PROJECT CLOSEOUT 01700 - 1

SECTION 01700 - PROJECT CLOSEOUT

A. Definitions: Project closeout is the term used to describe certain collective project requirements, indicating completion of the work that are to be ful-filled near the end of the Contract time in preparation for final payment to the Contractor and the normal termination of the Contract.

1. Specific requirements for individual units of work are included in the appropriate sections in Divisions 2 through 16.

2. Time of closeout is directly related to "Completion"; therefore, the time of closeout may be either a single time period for the entire Work or a series of time periods for individual elements of the Work that have been certified as complete at different dates. This time variation, if any, shall be applicable to the other provisions of this

1.3 PREREQUISITES TO COMPLETION

A. General: Complete the following before requesting the Engineer's inspec-tion for certification of completion, either for the entire Work or for portions of the Work. List known exceptions in the request.

1. In the progress payment request that coincides with, or is the first request following, the date completion is claimed, show either 100% completion for the portion of the Work claimed as "complete", or list incomplete items, the value of incomplete work, and reasons for the Work being incomplete.

2. Include supporting documentation for completion as indicated in these contract documents.

B. Submit a statement showing an accounting of changes to the Contract

Sum.

C. Advise Owner of pending insurance change-over requirements.

Re-inspection Procedure: The Engineer will re-inspect the Work upon re-ceipt of the Contractor's notice that the work, including punch-list items re-sulting from earlier inspections, has been completed, except for these items whose completion has been delayed because of circumstances that are acceptable to the Engineer.

1. Upon completion of re-inspection, the Engineer will either prepare a certificate of final acceptance, or will advise the Contractor of work that is incomplete or of obligations that have not been fulfilled, but are required for final acceptance.

2. If necessary, the reinspection procedure will be repeated.

1.5 RECORD DOCUMENT SUBMITTALS

A. General: Specific requirements for record documents are indicated in the individual sections of these specifications. Other requirements are indi-cated in the General Conditions. General submittal requirements are indi-cated in the various "submittals" sections.

1. Do not use record documents for construction purposes; protect from deterioration and loss in a secure, fire-resistive location; pro-vide access to record documents for the Engineer's reference dur-ing normal working hours.

B. Record Drawings: Maintain a record set of blue or black line white-prints of contract drawings and shop drawings in a clean, undamaged condition.

Mark-up the set of record documents to show the actual installation where the installed work varies substantially from the work as originally shown.

Mark whichever drawing is most capable of showing the actual "field" con-dition fully and accurately; however, where shop drawings are used for mark-up, record a cross-reference at the corresponding location on the working drawings. Give particular attention to concealed work that would be difficult to measure and record at a later date.

1. Mark record sets with red erasable pencil and where feasible, use other colors to distinguish between variations in separate catego-

PROJECT CLOSEOUT 01700 - 4

ries of work.

2. Mark-up new information which is known to be important to the

Owner, but for some reason was not shown on either contract drawings or shop drawings.

3. Note related change-order numbers where applicable.

4. Organize record drawing sheets into manageable sets by trade

(e.g., Civil, Architectural, Structural, etc.), bind with durable paper cover sheets, and print suitable titles, dates and other identification on the cover of each set. Provide a cad system drawing of the project with all changes in a system acceptable to the owner.

C. Record Specifications: Maintain one complete copy of the Project Manual, including specifications and addenda, and one copy of other written con-struction documents such as change orders and similar modifications is-sued in printed form during construction. Mark these documents to show substantial variations in the actual work performed in comparison with the text of the specifications and modifications as issued. Give particular at-tention to substitutions, selection of options and similar information on work where it is concealed or cannot otherwise be readily discerned at a later date by direct observation. Note related record drawing information and product data, where applicable.

1. Upon completion of the Work, submit record specifications to the

Engineer for the Owner's records.

D. Record Product Data: Maintain one copy of each product data submittal.

Mark these documents to show significant variations in the actual Work performed in comparison with the submitted information. Include both var-iations in the products as delivered to the site, and variations from the manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for installation.
