About this file
This document is a comprehensive construction specification manual (Project Manual, Volume 1) for the AFD Smokejumper Visitor Center project located at 5765 US Highway 10 West, Missoula, Montana. The 100% construction specifications were prepared by Mosaic Architecture, P.C. (Helena, Montana) and include detailed requirements across 34 divisions covering site work, structural systems, finishes, and specialty items.
The specifications establish quality standards, submission procedures, and execution requirements for all construction work. Key specifications include: unclassified excavation and earthwork with compaction density testing (95% maximum dry density per ASTM D698); concrete work (M-4000 strength for slabs and structural elements); steel and wood framing with fire-retardant treatments where required; exterior and interior finishes including gypsum board assemblies, ceramic tile, resilient flooring (LVT and carpet tile), and paint systems; aluminum-framed storefronts and wood windows with thermal performance requirements; hollow metal and wood doors with hardware scheduling; and specialized systems such as an incline wheelchair lift (Garaventa Stair-Lift Model GSLArtira), fire protection equipment, and accessible toilet/bath accessories. All materials must comply with VOC content restrictions, include USA Certificates of Origin, and meet accessibility standards (ADA/ICC A117.1). Contractors must submit shop drawings, product data, samples, and test reports for architect review; substitutions require written approval via addendum prior to bid date. Quality assurance testing by independent laboratories is required for concrete (cylinder strength, air content, slump), soils (in-place density, moisture), and pipe installation. The project emphasizes erosion and sediment control, waste management and recycling, and closeout documentation including operation and maintenance manuals, warranties, and as-built records.

2. A resolution to an issue which has arisen due to field conditions and affects design intent.
B. Whenever possible, request clarifications at the next appropriate project progress meeting, with response entered into meeting minutes, rendering unnecessary the issuance of a formal RFI.
C. Preparation: Prepare an RFI immediately upon discovery of a need for interpretation of Contract Documents. Failure to submit a RFI in a timely manner is not a legitimate cause for claiming additional costs or delays in execution of the work.
1. Prepare a separate RFI for each specific item.
a. Review, coordinate, and comment on requests originating with subcontractors and/or materials suppliers.
b. Do not forward requests which solely require internal coordination between subcontractors.
2. Prepare in a format and with content acceptable to Forest Service.
D. Reason for the RFI: Prior to initiation of an RFI, carefully study all Contract Documents to confirm that information sufficient for their interpretation is definitely not included.
1. Include in each request Contractor's signature attesting to good faith effort to determine from Contract Documents information requiring interpretation.
2. Unacceptable Uses for RFIs: Do not use RFIs to request the following::
a. Approval of submittals (use procedures specified elsewhere in this section).
b. Approval of substitutions (see Section - 01 6000 - Product Requirements)

6. Annotations: Field dimensions and/or description of conditions which have engendered the request.
7. Contractor's suggested resolution: A written and/or a graphic solution, to scale, is required in cases where clarification of coordination issues is involved, for example;
routing, clearances, and/or specific locations of work shown diagrammatically in Contract Documents. If applicable, state the likely impact of the suggested resolution on Contract Time or the Contract Sum.
01 3000 - 4 Administrative Requirements
F. Attachments: Include sketches, coordination drawings, descriptions, photos, submittals, and other information necessary to substantiate the reason for the request.
G. RFI Log: Prepare and maintain a tabular log of RFIs for the duration of the project.

2. Note dates of when each request is made, and when a response is received.
3. Highlight items requiring priority or expedited response.
4. Highlight items for which a timely response has not been received to date.
H. Review Time: Mosaic Architecture will respond and return RFIs to Contractor within seven calendar days of receipt. For the purpose of establishing the start of the mandated response period, RFIs received after 12:00 noon will be considered as having been received on the following regular working day.
1. Response period may be shortened or lengthened for specific items, subject to mutual agreement, and recorded in a timely manner in progress meeting minutes.
I. Responses: Content of answered RFIs will not constitute in any manner a directive or authorization to perform extra work or delay the project. If in Contractor's belief it is likely to lead to a change to Contract Sum or Contract Time, promptly issue a notice to this effect, and follow up with an appropriate Change Order request to Forest Service.
1. Response may include a request for additional information, in which case the original RFI will be deemed as having been answered, and an amended one is to be issued forthwith.
Identify the amended RFI with an R suffix to the original number.
2. Do not extend applicability of a response to specific item to encompass other similar conditions, unless specifically so noted in the response.
3. Upon receipt of a response, promptly review and distribute it to all affected parties, and update the RFI Log.
