1.1 WORK INCLUDED

A. This section applies to all mechanical work.

B. The general provisions of the Contract, including General and Supplementary Conditions and

General Requirements apply to all mechanical work.

C. Each specification section within their respective Division shall be coordinated with all other sections in that division for related work.

D. The project documents contemplate the complete installation of the systems described herein, or shown on the drawings, so that at the conclusion of the construction, the systems will be turned over to the Owner complete and ready for safe, efficient operation.

E. The Contractor shall be obliged to furnish and install all such items normally included on systems of this type, which while not mentioned directly herein are obviously essential to the installation and operation of the systems, and which are normally furnished on installations of this type.

1.2 COORDINATION OF WORK

A. General: The Contractor shall recognize that the Contract Documents are diagrammatic in showing certain physical relationships that must be established within the mechanical and electrical work, and in its interface with other work including utilities and that such establishment is the exclusive responsibility of the Contractor. This Contractor shall be responsible for work fitting in place without conflict with other trades, where proper planning could avoid interference.

This Contractor shall examine the locations and verify all measurements, distances, elevations and existing conditions before starting work. Because the drawings are diagrammatic and on a small scale, all rises, drops, offsets, etc., have not been shown. The Contractor shall agree to provide and install the necessary piping, fittings, valves, ducts, duct fittings and offsets, and other specialties to suit such conditions without additional cost to the Owner. Mechanical drawings shall not be used for general construction dimensions or for type of material used for general construction. For exact building layout, dimensions and building materials used, Contractor shall refer to Architectural Drawings.

1.3 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Contractor shall comply with all State, and local codes and ordinances.

B. Contractor shall make application for, obtain and pay for all required permits and certificates of inspection of the work.
