1.1 DEFINITIONS

A. General Explanation: Specification language often includes terms that are defined elsewhere in the Contract Documents, including the Construction Contract Clauses. Certain terms are defined in this section. These definitions or explanations are not necessarily complete or exclusive, but are general for the Work and may be explained more explicitly in other Sections.

B. "General Conditions" refer collectively to the Construction Contract Clauses, Labor Standards and the U.S. Department of Labor Wage Decision bound into the specifications.

C. "Indicated" refers to graphic representations, notes or schedules on the Drawings, or to requirements elsewhere in the Specifications or other Contract Documents. Terms such as "shown", "noted", "scheduled" and "specified" have the same meaning as "indicated" and are used to further help locate the reference, but no limitation on location is intended except as specifically stated.

D. Where "directed", "authorized", "selected", "approved", or a similar term is used in conjunction with the Contractor's submittals, applications, requests and other activities, and the specifications state that an individual other than the Contracting Officer, such as the Architect or Construction Engineer, shall provide this action, it is understood that only the Contracting Officer has this authority unless the individual stated is so authorized in writing by the Contracting Officer.

1. When the individual is so authorized by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor may still appeal the action to the Contracting Officer.

2. The Contracting Officer's decision will be final.

3. In no case shall the Contracting Officer's action be interpreted as releasing the Contractor from responsibility to fulfill the requirements of the Contract Documents.

E. "Regulations" include laws, ordinances, statutes and lawful orders issued by authorities having jurisdiction, as well as rules,…
