SECTION 01000: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.01 INTENT:

A. The intent of this project is to provide the Government with a fully complete and useable building meeting all the requirements for its intended use, constructed to high standards and the requirements of the Contract Documents. A fully complete and useable building is defined as one that is constructed to meet the aesthetic, functional and structural properties required by the drawings, specifications, amendments issued prior to receipt of bids/proposals, and modifications issued after award of the contract. All work shall be constructed to meet or exceed industry or government standards, whichever is more stringent. All construction shall be executed in a professional manner resulting in a finished product of highest quality.

All materials, equipment, and other products used in the construction shall be new or approved recyclable materials from an approved source. All new work shall be maintained in a clean condition, and shall be installed plumb, square, true to line and grade, and shall conform to the stated dimensions, notes, schedules, etc. The work shall be properly secured, consistent in quality, fit and finish, and installation, etc.

1.02 APPLICABILITY:

A. This section of the specification is applicable to all sections that follow.

1.03 INTERPRETATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS:

A. Prospective bidders desiring further information, interpretation or clarification of the contract documents shall forward a written request to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is the sole authority for interpretation of intent of work and for approval of quality of materials and workmanship. Failure to request the above shall not be the basis for a change order. DO NOT ASSUME

THAT YOUR INTERPRETATION IS CORRECT.

1.04 CONFLICTS, DISCREPANCIES OR AMBIGUITIES:

A. Prior to submittal of a bid or proposal by the prime/general contractor, it is expected that each subcontractor, equipment and/or material supplier, and others associated with the project, shall have carefully examined as necessary, the drawings, specifications, and all addenda issued prior to the date of submission of the bid or proposal. Any and all conflicts, discrepancies or ambiguous language reasonably

01000-2 ascertainable from an inspection of the above and the project site that will affect the cost, quality, fit, finish, labor specified or required, equipment and/or materials specified or required, etc., necessary to fully complete the project and make it operational for it’s intended use, must immediately be brought to the attention of the prime/general contractor. The prime/general contractor must immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing prior to submitting a bid or proposal and request written clarification of the conflict and/or discrepancy.
