Contractor.

3b. Substrate and Opening Preparation

• Site Inspection and Verification

✓ The Contractor shall conduct a thorough inspection of the existing rough openings to identify any pre-existing damage, deterioration, or defects in the substrate.

• Dimensional and Geometric Analysis

✓ The Contractor must field-verify all critical dimensions of the openings. It is the

Contractor's responsibility to confirm that the openings are level, plumb, and square to the tolerances required for the new system installation as specified in the manufacturer's installation documents.

• Substrate Remediation

✓ The base bid price shall be inclusive of all minor substrate repairs and corrections necessary to achieve a plumb, level, and true surface required for a watertight and structurally sound installation. Such preparatory work is considered an incidental obligation of the Contractor. No additional compensation will be authorized for routine substrate preparation that falls within the scope of industry-standard practice.
