1.2 GENERAL PROJECT COORDINATION

A. Coordination of Trades: Coordinate construction operations included in the various sections of the Specifications to provide an efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work. Coordinate construction operations included under different sections of the Specifications that depend on each other for proper installation, connection or operation. Keep pipes, ducts, conduit, and the like as close as possible to ceiling slab, walls, and columns to take up a minimum amount of space. Locate pipes, ducts, and equipment so that they do not interfere with the intended use of eyebolts and other lifting devices.

Assure all controls can be reached and operated.

1. Schedule construction operations in the sequence required to obtain the best results where the installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components before or after that part.

2. Coordinate installation of different components to provide maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, testing and repair.

B. Notification: Prepare and distribute memoranda to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include notices, reports and meeting minutes as part of the memoranda.

C. Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of administrative procedures with other construction activities to avoid conflicts and promote orderly progress of the Work. Administrative procedures include but are not limited to the following:

1. Preparation of schedules.

2. Installation and removal of temporary facilities.

3. Delivery and processing of submittals.

4. Progress meetings.

5. Project closeout activities.

6. Startup and adjustment of systems.

1.3 COORDINATION DRAWINGS

A. Prepare coordination drawings where coordination is needed for installation of products and materials fabricated by separate entities, and prepare coordination drawings where limited space availability necessitates maximum use of the space for efficient installation of different components.

1. Show the relationship of components shown on separate shop drawings. Indicate functional and spatial relationships of components of architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, and electrical systems

2. Indicate required installation sequences.

3. Indicate space requirements for routine maintenance and for anticipated replacement of components during the life of the installation.

4. Show location and size of access doors.

5. Provide vertical and horizontal dimensions necessary to locate each component and avoid conflicts within the space.

6. Comply with shop drawing requirements for sheet size and submittal methods specified in Division 1 Section "Submittal Procedures."

B. Refer to Divisions 23, and 26 Plumbing, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning, and Electrical for specific coordination drawing requirements for mechanical and electrical installations.

C. Provide coordination drawings for equipment and system installations in mechanical and electrical rooms and spaces where two or more entities will provide the work and separate shop drawings are insufficient to show coordination.

D. Work installed prior to approval of coordination drawings shall be at the Contractor’s risk. Subsequent relocations required to avoid interferences shall be made without additional expense to the Government.

In case interference develops, the Government will decide which work shall be relocated, regardless of which was installed first.

E. Digital Data Files of Coordination Drawings: Prepare coordination digital data files in accordance with the following requirements:

1. File Preparation Format: Same digital data software program, version, and operating system as the original Drawings.

2. File Submittal Format: Same digital data software program, version, and operating system as the original Drawings and Portable Document Format (PDF).

3. GSA will furnish Contractor one set of digital data files of the Drawings for use in preparing coordination digital data files.

a. GSA makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of digital data files as they relate to the Drawings.

b. Execute a data licensing agreement in a form acceptable to the GSA, if required for Project.
