1.03 MISCELLANEOUS EXPLANATIONS - INTENT

A. 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.

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.

1 July, 2015 011100-2

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,”. 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.”
