1.03 MISCELLANEOUS EXPLANATIONS - INTENT

A. See Division 00 for definitions of terms used in Division 00, Proposal and Contract Requirements.

B. Intent of Language Used in this Project Manual:

1. "Project Manual" means the volume usually assembled for the Work which may include the Proposal requirements, contractual conditions, general requirements and technical specifications.

1 April, 2013 011100-2

2. The Project Manual is part of the Contract Documents between Government and Contractor and is therefore written addressing the Contractor. Although references to subcontractors are made occasionally, it is not the intent of the Project Manual to divide the work into subcontracts; this is the responsibility of the Contractor.

3. The following information is provided to facilitate Project Manual comprehension, format, language, implications, conventions, and content. This information does not modify the substance of any requirements.

a. Project Manual is divided into divisions and sections for convenience. Division titles are not intended to fully describe the work of each division or section, and are not an integral part of the text specifying requirements.

b. Division and section numbers listed in Table of Contents, and items of work included in each section, conform in general to the Construction Specifications Institute’s "Masterformat - Master List of Numbers and Titles for the Construction Industry,” 2004 edition. Numbering of sections is merely for identification and may not be consecutive. Verify contents to be sure manual is complete in accordance with Table of Contents.

c. Except for sections in Division 00, Proposal and Contract Requirements, and certain Division 01 Sections, sections are usually subdivided into three “parts” for uniformity and convenience (Part 1 - General; Part 2 - Products; and Part 3 - Execution).

d. Section pages are numbered independently for each section. Section numbers and page numbers appear at the right bottom of each page of most sections.

e. Trade Associations and General Standard Abbreviations: Generally understood abbreviations may be used in text.

f. The Specifications use certain conventions for the style of language and the intended meaning of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations. These conventions are as follows:

1) Imperative mood and streamlined language are generally used in the

Specifications. The words "shall," "shall be," or "shall comply with," depending on the context, are implied where a colon (:) is used within a sentence or phrase.

2) Specification requirements shall be performed by Contractor unless specifically stated otherwise.

4. Reference to Specifications Sections in Division 01: Where General Conditions provisions and Modifications thereto relate generally to work of Contractor and subcontractors as project administrative requirements, procedural requirements, temporary facilities, and the like, these provisions may be amplified by specifications sections in Division 01, “General Requirements.”

5. Government's Representative:

a. The Contracting Officer (CO) is the Government's Representative for contractual and administrative procedures as well as technical matters.

b. The Government’s On-Site Representative or the Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR) is responsible for day-to-day communications and on-site observation.

C. Intent of Drawings:

1. The Drawings are the graphic and pictorial portions of the Contract Documents showing the design, location and dimensions of the Work, generally including plans, elevations, sections, details, schedules and diagrams. Drawings are in part diagrammatic and do not necessarily show complete details of construction, work or materials, performance or installation. They do not necessarily show how construction details, other items or work, fixtures, and equipment may affect any particular installation. Ascertain and correlate the work to bring the parts together into a satisfactory and completed whole.

1 April, 2013 011100-3

2. Drawings do not show exact characteristics of the Work, piping and air distribution configurations, or necessary number of fittings. The Drawings indicate only such details as are necessary to show intent of the work. In order to illustrate the Work, the CO may furnish additional Drawings, explanations and clarifications consistent with the original Drawings, purpose and intent of the Contract. Conform Work to such Drawings and explanations. The furnishing of such additional Drawings, explanations or clarifications is for the convenience of the Contractor and shall not entitle the Contractor to an increase in the Contract time or Contract Sum.

3. Furnish and install work not covered under any heading, Section, branch, class or trade of the Project Manual, but shown on or reasonably inferable from the Drawings. This includes work necessary to produce the intended results.

4. Do not scale drawings. Dimensional accuracy is not guaranteed, and field verification of dimensions, locations, and levels to suit field conditions is required.

D. First Class Workmanship is expected.

1. Prior to installing an item or material, verify that receiving surfaces are plumb, level, true to line, and straight to the degree necessary to achieve tolerances specified or required.

Perform without extra cost shimming, blocking, grinding, or patching required to make such surfaces plumb, level, true to line and straight.

2. Take care in attention to details and fitting at intersections and junctures of materials.

Joints are to be tight, straight, even, and smooth.

E. Fastening and Connections: Furnish fastenings and connections necessary and adequate to assemble work whether indicated or not. Provide proper assemblage for intended performance of components and assemblies; bonds shall bond properly, fastening shall fasten properly; operable items shall operate smoothly, without sticking or binding, and without “play” or looseness; and the like.

F. Presence of Government's Representatives: Do not construe presence of these persons at the Project Site as assuring compliance with Contract Documents.

G. General Installation Provisions: Provide items, articles, materials, and operations listed, including labor, materials, equipment and incidentals required for their completion.

1. Installer’s Inspection of Conditions:

a. Require the installer of each major unit of work to inspect the substrate to receive work and conditions under which the work is to be performed.

b. The installer shall report unsatisfactory conditions in writing to the Contractor.

c. Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected in a manner acceptable to the installer. Start of work constitutes acceptance of substrates.

2. Inspection of Items to be Installed:

a. Inspect each item of materials or equipment immediately prior to installation.

b. Reject damaged and defective items.

3. Attachment and Connection:

a. Provide attachment and connection devices and methods for securing work.

Secure work true to line and level, and within recognized industry tolerances.

Allow for expansion and building movement.

b. Provide uniform joint width in exposed work. Arrange joints in exposed work as drawn or to obtain the best visual effect. Refer questionable visual-effect choices to the CO for final decision.

4. Measurements: Check measurements and dimensions of the work, as an integral step of starting each installation.

1 April, 2013 011100-4

5. Dimensions and Measurements on Drawings:

a. Dimensions govern.

b. Do not scale.

c. Check dimensions in the field and verify them with respect to adjacent or incorporated work.

1) Information concerning existing conditions was considered suitable for preparation of the Drawings and is given for Contractor’s convenience. CO and Government do not guarantee accuracy of such conditions.

6. Weather Conditions:

a. Install each unit of work during weather conditions and project status which will ensure the best possible results in coordination with the entire work.

b. Isolate each unit of finished work and protect as necessary to prevent deterioration.

c. Inspection and Tests: Coordinate enclosure of the work with required inspections and tests, so as to minimize the necessity of uncovering work for that purpose.

7. Inspection and Tests: Coordinate enclosure of the work with required inspections and tests, so as to minimize the necessity of uncovering work for that purpose.
