INTERPRETATION OF DRAWINGS & SPECIFICATIONS

IN GENERAL, THE WORKING DETAILS WILL INDICATE DIMENSIONS, POSITION AND KIND OF

CONSTRUCTION, AND THE SPECIFICATIONS, QUALITIES AND METHODS. ANY WORK INDICATED ON THE WORKING DETAILS AND NOT MENTIONED IN THE SPECIFICATIONS, OR VICE VERSA, SHALL BE

FURNISHED AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH IN BOTH. WORK NOT PARTICULARLY DETAILED,

MARKED OR SPECIFIED, SHALL BE IDENTICAL OR SIMILAR TO LIKE CASES OF CONSTRUCTION

THAT ARE DETAILED, MARKED OR SPECIFIED. IF CONFLICTS OCCUR ON DRAWINGS AND/OR

SPECIFICATIONS, THE MOST EXPENSIVE MATERIALS OR METHODS WILL PREVAIL.

SHOULD AN ERROR APPEAR IN THE WORKING DETAILS OR SPECIFICATIONS OR IN WORK DONE

BY OTHERS AFFECTING THIS WORK, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE VA AT ONCE AND IN

WRITING. IF THE CONTRACTOR PROCEEDS WITH THE WORK SO AFFECTED WITHOUT HAVING

GIVEN SUCH WRITTEN NOTICE AND WITHOUT RECEIVING THE NECESSARY APPROVAL,

DECISION OR INSTRUCTIONS IN WRITING FROM THE VA, THEN HE SHALL HAVE NO VALID CLAIM

AGAINST THE VA, FOR THE COST OF SO PROCEEDING AND SHALL MAKE GOOD ANY RESULTING

DAMAGE OR DEFECT. NO VERBAL APPROVAL, DECISION, OR INSTRUCTION SHALL BE VALID OR

BE THE BASIS FOR ANY CLAIM AGAINST THE VA, ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS. THE

FOREGOING INCLUDES TYPICAL ERRORS IN THE SPECIFICATIONS OR NOTATIONAL ERRORS IN

THE WORKING DETAILS WHERE THE INTERPRETATION IS DOUBTFUL OR WHERE THE ERROR IS

SUFFICIENTLY APPARENT AS TO PLACE A REASONABLY PRUDENT CONTRACTOR ON NOTICE

THAT, SHOULD HE ELECT TO PROCEED, HE IS DOING SO AT HIS OWN RISK.

CONSTRUCTION SHALL CONFORM TO ALL APPLICABLE CODES AND REGULATIONS.

SHOP DRAWING NOTE:

WHEN NOT ADDRESSED BY DIVISION 1 OF THE SPECIFICATIONS, PAPER FORMAT STRUCTURAL

SHOP DRAWINGS SHALL BE SUBMITTED IN THE FORM OF THREE COPIES MINIMUM OF EACH

SHEET. WHERE SUBMITTALS ARE ELECTRONIC, FORMAT SHALL BE PDF.

THE PURPOSE OF SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTALS BY THE CONTRACTOR IS TO DEMONSTRATE TO

THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER THAT HE UNDERSTANDS THE DESIGN CONCEPT BY INDICATING

WHICH MATERIAL HE INTENDS TO FURNISH AND INSTALL, AND BY DETAILING THE FABRICATION

AND INSTALLATION METHODS HE INTENDS TO USE ON A STAND ALONE SET OF DOCUMENTS.

DUPLICATION OF DESIGN DOCUMENTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF SHOP DRAWINGS IS NOT

ACCEPTABLE.

PRIOR TO FABRICATION, SHOP DRAWINGS SHALL BE SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW BY THE

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER. SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTALS SHALL INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT

NECESSARILY LIMITED TO, STRUCTURAL STEEL, REINFORCING STEEL, & GLUE-LAMINATED

BEAMS.

PRIOR TO SUBMISSION THE CONTRACTOR SHALL REVIEW ALL SUBMITTALS FOR

CONFORMANCE WITH THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND SHALL STAMP SUBMITTALS AS BEING

"REVIEWED FOR CONFORMANCE".

SHOP DRAWING SUBMITTALS PROCESSED BY THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER ARE NOT CHANGE

ORDERS.

ANY DETAIL ON THE SHOP DRAWINGS THAT DEVIATES FROM THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

SHALL CLEARLY BE MARKED WITH THE NOTE "THIS IS A CHANGE".

SHOP DRAWINGS OR CALCULATIONS SUBMITTED FOR REVIEW THAT REQUIRE RESUBMITTAL

FOR RE-REVIEW SHALL BE BILLED HOURLY FOR SUCH TIME TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR.

RE-REVIEW WILL NOT PROCEED WITHOUT WRITTEN APPROVAL FROM THE GENERAL

CONTRACTOR FOR ADDITIONAL ENGINEERING REVIEW SERVICES.

SAFETY NOTE:

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL NOTIFY THE VA WHERE A CONFLICT OR DISCREPANCY OCCURS BETWEEN

THE STRUCTURAL DRAWINGS AND ANY OTHER PORTION OF THE CONTRACT DOCUMENTS OR

EXISTING FIELD CONDITIONS. SUCH NOTIFICATION SHALL BE GIVEN IN DUE TIME SO AS NOT TO

AFFECT THE CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE. IN CASE OF A CONFLICT BETWEEN STRUCTURAL

DRAWINGS AND SPECIFICATIONS THE MORE RESTRICTIVE CONDITION SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE

UNLESS WRITTEN APPROVAL HAS BEEN GIVEN FOR THE LEAST RESTRICTIVE. CONTRACTOR SHALL

VERIFY ALL DIMENSIONS WITH ARCHITECTURAL PRIOR TO COMMENCING ANY WORK.

WHEN CONSTRUCTION ATTACHES TO OR IS WITHIN AN EXISTING BUILDING, A COMPLETE SET OF DRAWINGS OF THE EXISTING BUILDING SHALL BE KEPT ON THE JOB SITE. CONTRACTOR TO OBTAIN

THESE DRAWINGS FROM THE VA (IF THEY ARE AVAILABLE).

ANY SUBSTITUTIONS FOR STRUCTURAL MEMBERS, HARDWARE OR DETAILS SHALL BE REVIEWED BY THE VA, ARCHITECT AND STRUCTURAL ENGINEER. SUCH REVIEW WILL BE BILLED ON A TIME AND MATERIALS BASIS TO THE GENERAL CONTRACTOR WITH NO GUARANTEE THAT THE SUBSTITUTION

WILL BE ALLOWED.

DO NOT SCALE DRAWINGS. CONTACT THE VA FOR ANY DIMENSIONS NOT SHOWN.

THESE DRAWINGS ARE NOT COMPLETE UNTIL REVIEWED AND ACCEPTED BY VA AND SIGNED BY THE

STRUCTURAL ENGINEER.

GENERAL NOTES

100SN001-1

IT IS THE CONTRACTORS RESPONSIBILITY TO COMPLY WITH THE PERTINENT SECTIONS, AS

THEY APPLY TO THIS PROJECT, OF THE "CONSTRUCTION SAFETY ORDERS" ISSUED BY THE

STATE OF CALIFORNIA LATEST EDITION, AND ALL OSHA REQUIREMENTS.

THE VA AND THE STRUCTURAL ENGINEER DO NOT ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE

CONTRACTOR'S FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE REQUIREMENTS.

THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ADEQUATE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF

ALL FORMS AND SHORING REQUIRED. SHORING INDICATIONS (LOCATION, DIRECTION,

DURATION, ETC.) ARE ONLY SHOWN ON THE STRUCTURAL DRWGS WHEN REQUIRED TO

IMPLEMENT THE DESIGN INTENT OF THE FINAL WORK PRODUCT. DETERMINATION WHETHER

SHORING IS REQUIRED FOR TEMPORARY OR INTERMEDIATE CONDITIONS DURING

CONSTRUCTION IS WHOLLY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR.

WHERE SPECIFICATIONS HAVE BEEN PREPARED FOR THIS PROJECT, THEY ARE ARRANGED IN

SEVERAL SECTIONS, BUT SUCH SEPARATION SHALL NOT BE CONSIDERED AS THE LIMITS OF

THE WORK REQUIRED OF ANY SEPARATE TRADE. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF SUCH

LIMITATIONS ARE WHOLLY BETWEEN THE CONTRACTOR AND HIS SUBCONTRACTORS.
