The total number and the titles of the drawings constituting the Drawings are given in the index of the Drawings. All work under the Contract must be performed in all respects in compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

B. The Contract Documents provide for a complete work, and may have been prepared in divisions of various crafts, trades and other categories of work. The Contractor is responsible for the performance of all work under the Contract regardless of any such divisions, and must ensure that all of the work is performed and completed.

C. The FAA will provide the Contractor with an electronic copy of the construction drawings and specifications for the Contractor’s use during the execution of the Contract. The Contractor may reproduce these documents for its use during the performance of the work under this Contract.

D. The Contractor must maintain at the Site at all times at least one (1) copy of Drawings, Specifications and all other Contract Documents, together with at least one (1) complete set of approved Shop Drawings and approved samples.

E. The Contract, Drawings, Specifications, and all referenced standards cited are essential parts of the Contract requirements. A requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occurring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe and provide for a complete work.

F. On the drawings, calculated or figured dimensions must govern over scaled dimensions.

G. In the event of a conflict between commercially available or industry standard documents and specific requirements in FAA Orders and Notices, the more stringent shall apply.

H. The Contractor must not take advantage of any apparent error, omission, discrepancy, or ambiguity on the Drawings or Specifications. If any error, omission, discrepancy, or ambiguity is found by the Contractor in the Drawings or Specifications, the Contractor must refer the same to the Contracting Officer (CO) prior to beginning work on affected task(s), for interpretation and decision, and such decision must be final.

I. The CO has the right to correct apparent errors or omissions in the Drawings and Specifications and to make such interpretations as he may deem necessary for the proper fulfillment of the Contract Documents. During the course of the work, should any conflicts, ambiguities, or

GENERAL PARAGRAPHS 01 00 00 - 2

discrepancies be found that are not addressed or any discrepancies between the Drawings and the Specifications to which the Contractor has failed to call attention before submitting the offer, then the CO will interpret the intent of the Drawings and Specifications and the Contractor hereby agrees to abide by the CO’s interpretation and agrees to carry out the work in accordance with the decision of the CO. In such event the Contractor will be held to have included in the offer the most proper material and/or method of construction in order to fulfill the intent of the Contract Documents.

J. When a material, article, or equipment is designated by a brand name, and more than one brand name is listed, it shall be understood that the design is based on one of the brand name listed products. The contractor will be responsible for all coordination necessary to accommodate the material, article, or equipment actually being provided without additional cost to the government.

K. The organization of the specification into divisions, sections and articles, and the arrangement of Drawings does not restrict or limit the Contractor in dividing the Work among Subcontractors or in establishing the extent of work to be performed by any trade. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to inform and coordinate all work specified in all Sections with all sub-contractors, regardless of which Section the work is specified.

L. Product and Reference Standards:

1. When descriptive catalog designations including manufacturer’s name, product brand name, or model number are referred to in the Contract Documents, such designations shall be considered as being those found in industry publications of current issue on the date of the first advertisement for offers.

2. When standards of the Federal Government, State Department of Transportation, Standards Organization such as ASTM, AASHTO, AWS, or ANSI, trade societies, or trade associations are referred in the Contract Documents by specific date of issue, these must be considered a part of this Contract. When such references do not bear a date of issue, the current published edition on the date of the first advertisement for offers must be considered as part of the Contract.

3. Where in the Contract Documents an item is identified by a particular manufacturer’s name, model or other code it must be interpreted to include other manufacturers’ product of like and better or equivalent quality whether the words “or equal” are included or not.

4. Wherever a particular manufacturer’s product is required, to the exclusion of all others, appropriate language is included in the Contract Documents.

5. Wherever the terms, “as directed”, “ordered”, “permitted”, “designate”, “as approved”, “approved equal”, “or equal”, “acceptable” and or an approved substitution or other words of similar meaning which authorize an exercise of judgement are used in the Contract Documents, such judgment shall be vested only in the CO and/or designated FAA representative.

2. If, within two years after the date of Substantial Completion of the Work or designated portion thereof, or after the date for commencement of warranties established above, or by terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents, any of the work is found to be not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor must correct it promptly after receipt of written notice from the FAA to do so unless the FAA has previously given the Contractor a written acceptance of that specific condition. This period of two years must be extended with respect to portions of Work first performed after Substantial Completion by the period of time between Substantial Completion and the actual performance of the Work. This obligation must survive acceptance of the Work under the Contract and termination of the Contract. The FAA must give such notice within a reasonable amount of time after discovery of the condition.

3. The Contractor must remove from the site portions of the Work that are not in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents and are neither corrected by the Contractor nor accepted by the FAA.
