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.

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 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.

B. Conflicts, discrepancies and ambiguous language that are inconsistent with the intent as stated above include but are not limited to:
