SECTION 01 00 00 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 - GENERAL

1.01 INTENT

The intent of this project is to provide the Government with a fully complete and useable building meeting all the requirements for its intended use, constructed to high standards and the requirements of the Contract Documents. A fully complete and useable building is defined as one that is constructed to meet the aesthetic, functional and structural properties required by the drawings, specifications, amendments issued prior to receipt of bids/proposals, and modifications issued after award of the contract. All work shall be constructed to meet or exceed industry or government standards, whichever is more stringent. All construction shall be executed in a professional manner resulting in a finished product of highest quality. All materials, equipment, and other products used in the construction shall be new or approved recyclable materials from an approved source. All new work shall be maintained in a clean condition, and shall be installed plumb, square, true to line and grade, and shall conform to the stated dimensions, notes, schedules, etc. The work shall be properly secured, consistent in quality, fit and finish, and installation, etc.

1.02 APPLICABILITY

This section of the specification is applicable to all sections that follow.

1.03 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

Prospective bidders desiring further information, interpretation or clarification of the contract documents shall forward a written request to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is the sole authority for interpretation of intent of work and for approval of quality of materials and workmanship. Failure to request the above shall not be the basis for a change order. DO NOT

ASSUME THAT YOUR INTERPRETATION IS CORRECT.

1.04 CONFLICTS, DISCREPANCIES OR AMBIGUITIES

A. Prior to submittal of a bid or proposal by the prime/general contractor, it is expected that each subcontractor, equipment and/or material supplier, and others associated with the project, shall have carefully examined as necessary, the drawings, specifications, and all addenda issued prior to the date of submission of the bid or proposal. Any and all conflicts, discrepancies or ambiguous language reasonably ascertainable from an inspection of the above and the project site that will affect the cost, quality, fit, finish, labor specified or required, equipment and/or materials specified or required, etc., necessary to fully complete the project and make it operational for its intended use, must immediately be brought to the attention of the prime/general contractor. The prime/general contractor must immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing prior to submitting a bid or proposal and request written clarification of the conflict and/or discrepancy.

B. Conflicts, discrepancies and ambiguous language that are inconsistent with the intent as stated above include but are not limited to:

1. Ambiguous notes or statements or drawings or details.

2. Conflicting information on the drawings and/or in the specifications.

3. Errors or inconsistencies in schedules.

4. Dimensional errors.

5. Incomplete notes or dimensions or schedules.

6. Extraneous notes, dimensions or schedules that conflict with the drawings or specifications.

C. Conflicts, discrepancies or ambiguities brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer AFTER award of contract WILL NOT be considered as a basis for a change in the work.

D. The intent of the above paragraphs is to increase the involvement of all persons associated with the project, particularly during the bid or proposal phase. Increased involvement during this phase will enhance the accuracy of the bid or proposal and reduce the potential for issuance of change orders during the construction phase.

1.05 DEFINITIONS

A. “Contract Documents": Contract Documents consist of the Contract, drawings and specifications, all addenda issued prior to submission of the bid/proposal and all modifications and/or other directives issued after the award/execution of the contract. The intent of the Contract Documents is to provide the Contractor with all items of work necessary for the proper execution and completion of the project.

In the event of a conflict between the drawings and the specifications, the specifications shall take precedence over the drawings, unless otherwise noted on the drawings. The Contractor shall perform all work consistent with and reasonably inferable from the Contract Documents as necessary to produce the intended results.

B. “Government”: The government is the United States of America. The government is the owner of the project.

C. “Prime Contractor”: The Prime/General Contractor is the person or entity who is qualified, bonded and insured, and who is responsible for preparing the bid/proposal and submitting it to the government. If the bid/proposal is accepted, the prime contractor will enter into a contract with the government to construct the work in accordance with the Contract Documents.
