About this file
The file is a detailed electrical specification section (Section 260100) for the City of Ft. Myers Parks & Records Departments Warehouse Conversion project, focusing specifically on Operation and Maintenance Manuals for electrical systems. The document provides comprehensive requirements for preparing, submitting, and organizing operation and maintenance documentation for various electrical components, including procedures for creating binders, documenting equipment details, and capturing essential information about electrical systems installation. The specification outlines specific documentation requirements for multiple electrical subsections, including building wire and cable, grounding and bonding, panelboards, lighting fixtures, and other electrical infrastructure components.
The specification emphasizes thorough documentation practices, requiring contractors to provide detailed information such as manufacturer operation and maintenance data, shop drawings, product data, warranties, wiring diagrams, test results, and equipment supplier lists. The documentation must be organized in a systematic manner, with tabbed sections, reinforced separation sheets, and specific forms to be completed, such as a Project Information Sheet, Spare Parts/Maintenance Stock Certification, and various testing and verification memos. The goal is to create a comprehensive reference manual that will assist the owner in understanding, maintaining, and potentially repairing the electrical systems throughout the facility's lifecycle, with specific attention to ensuring all critical system details are accurately captured and preserved.

260500 - 3
E. Specifications require the Contractor to provide shop drawings which shall indicate the fabrication, assembly, installation, and erection of a particular system's components. Drawings that are part of the Contract Documents shall not be considered a substitute for required shop drawings, field installation drawings, code requirements, or applicable standards.
F. Locations indicated for outlets, switches, and equipment are approximate and shall be verified by instructions in specifications and notes on the drawings. Where instructions or notes are insufficient to locate the item, notify the A/E.
G. The Contractor shall take finish dimensions at the project site in preference to scaling dimensions on the drawings.
H. Where the requirements of another Division, section, or part of these specifications exceed the requirements of this Division those requirements shall govern.
1.7 MATERIALS AND EQUIPMENT
A. Material shall be new (except where specifically noted, shown or specified as "Reused") and/or denoted as existing) and shall be UL listed and bear UL label. Where no UL label listing is available for a particular product, material shall be listed with an approved, nationally recognized Electrical Testing Agency. Where no labeling or listing service is available for certain types of equipment, test data shall be submitted to prove to the Engineer that equipment meets or exceeds available standards.
B. Where Contract Documents list design selection or manufacturer, type, this model shall set the standard of quality and performance required. Where no brand name is specified, the source and quality shall be subject to A/E's review and acceptance. Where Contract Documents list accepted substitutions, these items shall comply with requirements in Division 01.
C. When a product is specified to be in accordance with a trade association or government standard and at the request of A/E the Contractor shall furnish a certificate that the product complies with the referenced standard and supporting test data to substantiate compliance.
D. Where multiple items of the same equipment or materials are required, they shall be the product of a single Manufacturer.
E. Where the Contract Documents require materials and/or equipment installed, pulled, or otherwise worked on, the materials and/or equipment shall be furnished and installed by the Contractor responsible for Division 26 methods and materials unless specifically noted otherwise.
F. Where the contract documents refer to the terms "furnish," "install," or "provide," or any combination of these terms the materials and/or equipment shall be supplied and delivered to the project including all labor, unloading, unpacking, assembly, erection, anchoring, protecting supplies and materials necessary for the correct installation of complete system unless specifically noted otherwise.
G. Before the Contractor orders equipment, the physical size of specified equipment shall be checked to fit spaces allotted on the drawings, with NEC working clearances provided. Internal access for proposed equipment substitutions shall be provided.
H. Electrical equipment shall be protected from the weather during shipment, storage, and construction per manufacturer's recommendations for storage and protection. Should any apparatus be subjected to possible damage by water, it shall be thoroughly dried and put through a dielectric test, at the expense of the Contractor, to ascertain the suitability of the apparatus, or it
City of Ft. Myers - Warehouse Conversion Bid / Permit - Construction Documents
260500 - 4 shall be replaced without additional cost to the Owner. No additional time will be allowed and the project completion date shall be maintained.
I. Inspect all electrical equipment and materials prior to installation. Damaged equipment and materials shall not be installed or placed in service. Replace or repair and test damaged equipment in compliance with industry standards at no additional cost to the Owner. Equipment required for the test shall be provided by the Contractor.
J. Material and equipment shall be provided complete and shall function up to the specified capacity/function. Should any material and/or equipment as a part or as a whole fail to meet performance requirements, replacements shall be made to bring performance up to specified requirements. Damages to finish by such replacements, alterations, or repairs shall be restored to prior conditions, at no additional cost to the Owner.
K. Where tamperproof screws are specified or required, Phillips head or Allen head devices shall not be accepted. For each type used, provide Owner with three tools. Owner will designate the specific hardware design to correspond with existing devices elsewhere in the building, to limit special tool requirements.
L. Where the Contract Documents denote equipment and/or material to be 'new' and/or 'existing' and also provide no denotation for other equipment as to it being 'new' and/or 'existing,' this is not to infer that the non-denoted equipment is either new or existing, or opposite of the equipment that is denoted. The use of the terms 'new' or 'existing' is meant to clarify denoted equipment/materials for that item only, and the lack of the terms 'new' or 'existing' in relation to identifiers/notes/denotations on the drawings is not to infer that this non-denoted equipment or materials is new or existing.
