Final Technical Specifications For convenience of reference, the technical specifications are to be separated into titled sections by trade of specialty and in conjunction with the plans, must include a complete identification of materials and equipment to be used and description of the methods of construction, installation, or application, as appropriate, for each type of work. Final Specifications must incorporate a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements of the material or product required in the completed project. Such product descriptions will not, in competitive bidding, contain features, which unduly restrict competition. The description may include a statement of the qualitative nature of the material or project specified or when necessary, may set forth those minimum essential characteristics and standards to which it must conform if it is to satisfy its intended use. When it is impractical or uneconomical to develop a clear and accurate description of the technical requirements, a ‘branch name or equal’ description may be used as a means to define the performance of other salient requirements of specified item. In addition, a single manufacturer can be defined as a “Quality Conditions” providing a statement is added that other manufacturers with a similar degree of quality will be acceptable. In all cased when a brand name is specified, the specific features of the named branch must be met by the contractor must be clearly stated in the completed specifications.

Cost for errors or ommisions related to the borings shall be the responsibility of the AE/Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner.

SECTION G

TYPE C (600-700)SERVICES

These are the AE’s responsibility during construction in additon to the other contract requirements during Type C Services.

a. Shop Drawings/Submittals: Throughout the construction phase the AE shall be responsible for reviewing and approving/disapproving shop drawings and submittals for bid document compliance. The turn-around date for this process will be established prior to the AE contract execution. Distribution shall be the AE’s responsibility.

b. Inspections: In conjunction with the scheduled and special meetings the AE shall visit the construction site to become familiar with construction quantity compared to the submitted work schedule and the quality compared to bid documents, industry standards, approved shop drawings/submittals and approved sample construction.

c. Contractor Close Out: The AE will conduct a Pre-punch List inspection and a Substntial Completion/Punch-List inspection in conjunction with the Owner and Contractor.

(1) The Pre-Punch List will occur when the Contractor notifies in writing that the project is ready for a pre-punch list inspection. The AE and Owner will perform a cursory project review to ensure that level of completion is worth the effort to perform the pre-punch list inspection. The document produced from this inspection will locate and identify non-conforming contract reqirements that are communicated to the partys with a narrative, digital pictures and references to bid documents, codes and industry standards. The AE may demonstrate conforming/non-conforoming areas using examples or preapproved sample construction. This demonstration must be documented in the communication document. The intent of the pre-punch list is to narrow the amount of items on the punch list that are non-conforming and shall not be used to change acceptable standards.
