ELECTRICAL WORK ISSUE DATE

260001 - 19

h. Prepare the system models using software that allow 2-D drawing sheets to be extracted from the model so that production of these sheets do not require a special or duplicated CAD effort. The system models and any drawings produced from the coordination process will be treated as shop drawings and are to be used for coordination purposes only. All Trade Contractors are still responsible to verify that their systems are being installed per the contract documents, RFIs, changes, and as applicable.

i. Grant DCAMM (the Owner) a perpetual, fully paid license to use the models produced by this agreement. This shall be done without acknowledgement of the Modeler and in any manner deemed desirable by DCAMM in connection with its business.

j. The CADD files, AutoCAD architecture files, TIF files, shop drawings, RFIs, as-built drawings, and as applicable. (collectively “Project Information”), provided to the Trade Contractor are the Property of DCAMM (the Owner). The Trade Contractor agrees it will keep all project information in strict confidence and will not use it on any other project or for any other reason. The Trade Contractor further agrees it will not disseminate the project Information to anyone except with a need to know, and will return all project Information to DCAMM when services requiring the Project Information are complete.

D. Coordination Process Steps:

1. Step 1: Trade Contractor to identify conflicts between their system model and the base model and resolve with the Construction Manager and design team prior to MEP coordination meeting.

2. Step 2: Trade Contractor to identify any required penetrations in architectural and structural elements for their work prior to MEP coordination meeting.

3. Step 3: Trade Contractor to provide system model to the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager will integrate system model with base model in NavisWorks to create a “coordination model”

4. Step 4: Trade Contractor and the Construction Manager to meet, review, and resolve clashes/conflicts within the coordination model.

5. Step 5: Trade Contractor make changes to their system model per resolutions from MEP coordination meeting.

6. Step 6: Repeat steps 3 through 5 until all clashes/conflicts have been resolved in the coordination model.

E. Equipment Models: All equipment specified and intended to be used for installation shall be represented in the coordination model as a fully functional 3D component with the following characteristics:

1. Create models in a software application (Autodesk, Revit, Bentley MicroStation, SolidWorks, and as applicable) capable of embedding all information specific to that equipment which would typically be available in the required shop drawings and submittals.

2. Construct the models to accurately identify all of the physical components including:

Length, width and height of equipment; weight of equipment; accurate location of all facility connection points; proper identification of required supports whether provided by the Trade Contractor or others; proper identification of required supports; access for maintenance and/or filter changes locations; and clearances.

If, at any time, it is determined by the Construction Manager or DCAMM Project Manager that this Trade Contractor is not on schedule for any reason within the control or responsibility of the Trade Contractor, the Trade Contractor shall increase its manpower or work such overtime as is required to bring the work back within the Project Schedule.

Such additional efforts shall be performed at no additional cost to the Construction Manager or DCAMM (the Owner).

2. The proposed schedule includes “estimated” start dates for the construction activities. In the interest of the Project, the Construction Manager reserves the right to alter the sequencing of activities in order to accommodate the project conditions or DCAMM requirements.

3. It is understood that the Trade Contractor shall be obligated to complete its activities within the specified durations regardless of the actual start date. Trade Contractor agrees to meet or better each duration.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MANUFACTURERS

A. Product specifications are written in such a manner so as to specify what materials may be used in a particular location or application and therefore do not indicate what is not acceptable or suitable for a particular location or application. As an example: non-metallic sheathed cable is not specified; therefore, it is not acceptable.

B. For purpose of establishing a standard of quality and not for purpose of limiting competition, the basis of this Specification is upon specified models and types of equipment and materials, as manufactured by specified manufacturers.

C. In all cases, standard cataloged materials and systems have been selected. Materials such as lighting fixtures specially manufactured for this particular project and not part of a manufacturers standard product line will not be acceptable. In the case of systems, the system components shall be from a single source regularly engaged in supplying such systems. A proposed system made up of a collection of various manufacturers products will be unacceptable.
