C. Reference standards are not furnished with the Contract Documents since the Contractor, subcontractors, manufacturers, and the trades involved are assumed to be familiar with their requirements. The Engineer will furnish, upon request, information as to how copies of specified standards may be obtained.

1.02 INTERPRETATION OF SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS

A. The Special Provisions, Description of Work, Construction Details, Drawings, Shop Drawings, Contract Change Orders, and all other supplementary documents are essential parts of the Contract Documents, and 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 complete work.

In resolving conflicts resulting from errors or discrepancies in any of the Contract Documents, the order of precedence shall be as follows:

1. Applicable Building Code, environmental permits (i.e., NEPA), or permits from other agencies as may be required by law.

2. Addenda, Supplemental Agreements and Change Orders (with those of later date having preference over those of earlier date).
