Clearly identify modifications, deletions, and insertions. Assure the specification drafts have been edited and tailored in their application to represent accurate coordination between drawings and specifications.

2. When no VA Master Construction Specification exists for a "unit of work", prepare the specification section consistent with VA Master Construction Specifications format.

a. Use generic or non-proprietary specifications describing the minimal acceptable product criteria level where no "Standard" exists to define quality and workmanship levels.

b. Use applicable "Standards" to define quality and workmanship when these publications exist. List complete designation and title of each publication used in Part 1; follow format in VA Master Construction Specifications for Applicable Publications.

c. Do not use proprietary specifications or systems that restrict competition unless authorization in writing has been received from the VA Project Manager for such proprietary specification. See the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 10, Part 14, and Part 36.

d. Do not use trade names or manufacturers brand names, except as previously noted.

e. When a deviation is requested, define, and specify the minimum acceptable levels of essential criteria in descriptive, physical, functional, or performance requirements.

3. Type specifications in final format and content including any desk copy changes made by the VAMC staff at the previous review. Submit a complete set of the typed specifications for review. Include one set of full size final drawings of all disciplines, fully coordinated.

4. Return all draft specifications reviewed at DD review to aid the final bid document review. These draft specifications will later be returned to the A/E.
