SECTION 26 05 10
BASIC MATERIALS AND METHODS
26 05 10‐ 1
PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE: SECTION 26 05 10 ‐ BASIC MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. This Section covers general electrical requirements for Work covered under this Division.
B. All Work and Services specifically covered under this Division is supplementary to that covered under other Divisions of these Contract Documents. The requirements of this Division, which are more stringent than that covered under other parts of these Contract Documents, apply to Work covered under this Division.
C. All incidental Work required but not specified under this Division shall comply with the Division in which it is specified.
D. Review the Drawings and Specifications of all other Divisions for additional Work under Division 26.
1.2 DRAWINGS
A. Unless otherwise indicated, drawing symbols conform to the applicable standards of ANSI. The Drawings (or Contract Drawings) rely heavily upon symbolic representation of the features shown, and represent exact details only so far as indicated. The following should also be kept in mind:
1. The Drawings are, to some extent, diagrammatic and are not intended to show exact details.
2. Dimensions scaled from the Drawings may vary due to tracing tolerances, printing distortion, field conditions, field changes, and other factors. For these reasons, it shall be the Contractor's responsibility to field‐verify dimensions that pertain to his work. The Contractor shall make minor relocations where necessary to resolve conflicts or present a uniform appearance. The Drawings show exact location of electrical features only where specifically dimensioned.
3. The Electrical Contractor shall review the Contract Documents of the other trades on the Project, and shall coordinate the installation of electrical features with the work of all other trades. In areas such as mechanical rooms where conflicts are likely with structural, mechanical, or other features, the electrical installation shall be performed after the other trades, and arranged to eliminate conflicts.
SECTION 26 05 10
26 05 10‐ 2
4. The Drawings and Specifications are complementary to each other and what is called for by one shall be as binding as if called for by all. Discrepancies between any combination of Drawings, specification, and/or field conditions shall be promptly brought to the attention of the National Park Service for a decision.
Failure to obtain such decision before proceeding shall automatically leave the Contractor liable for all expenses necessary to correct the situation to the satisfaction of the National Park Service.
5. Provide fixtures, devices, equipment, conduit, conductors and accessories indicated on the drawings unless it is specifically indicated that the fixture, device, equipment, conduit, conductor, or accessory is existing.
1.3 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
A. Provide all work as shown on the Drawings and in these Specifications for a complete, safe, and functional installation.
B. The Contractor is responsible for providing a complete and operating facility. The intention of the Contract Documents is to include all labor and materials, equipment, and transportation necessary or reasonably inferable as being necessary for the execution of the work. Where minor adjustments of the work are necessary for purposes of fabrication or installation of items or resolution of conflicts between items within the intent of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall make such adjustments at no added expense to the National Park Service. Where such adjustments affect functional or aesthetic design of the work, they shall first be submitted to the National Park Service’s Representative for review and approval.
C. Unless otherwise noted, all materials shall be of new manufacture and installed before expiration of their shelf life, if applicable.
D. Materials and equipment are to be those of major and reputable manufacturers with ability to render competent and thorough service through local and regional organizations capable of expeditiously providing service, parts, and assistance.
E. Materials of similar nature, style, function, purpose and/or appearance shall be like products from the standard product line of the same manufacturer.
F. All products shall be listed and labeled by an approved national testing laboratory for their intended use and location in all cases where such products are listed and labeled.
G. The omission of express reference to any parts, supplies, services, or facilities necessary for, or incidental to, a complete installation shall not be construed as a release from furnishing such items at no additional cost to the National Park Service.
H. Any deviations from the installation shown in these Contract Documents, due to a particular manufacturer's requirements, shall be made without additional cost to the National Park Service.
SECTION 26 05 10
26 05 10‐ 3
I. Verification is required of all equipment sizes and locations prior to the ordering or installation of connection materials and disconnecting equipment to ensure that the power connections are of the proper size and type, and in the proper location. Verify all electrical loads (voltage, phase, full load amperes, number and point of connections, minimum circuit ampacity, etc.) for equipment furnished under all divisions of this specification, by reviewing respective shop drawings furnished under each division. Meet with each subcontractor furnishing equipment requiring electrical service and review electrical characteristics. Report any variances from electrical characteristics noted on the drawings with the National Park Service before proceeding with rough work. Obtain and review the equipment shop drawings to determine final connection requirements before rough‐in begins for each equipment item.
J. All materials shall be installed in a neat, orderly, and secure fashion, as required by these specifications and commonly recognized standards of good workmanship. The norms for execution of the work shall be in conformity with NEC Chapter 3 and the National Electrical Contractors’ Association “National Electrical Installation Standards”, for which the National Park Service's judgment shall be final.
K. Electrical equipment shall be installed in spaces that are accessible and in a manner that allows for maintenance and replacement. Entries into spaces shall allow for the passage of equipment. Coordinate the final locations with piping, ducts and equipment of other trades to insure proper access for all trades. Coordinate location of concealed equipment, disconnects, and boxes with access panels and doors.
1.4 REPAIR OF EXISTING FEATURES

In addition to the NEC requirements for service equipment, metal raceways throughout the project shall be provided with bonding bushings and NEC‐sized bonding jumpers where they enter enclosures through concentric or eccentric knockouts, reducing washers, or other arrangements that may be disturbed by relative movement between raceway and enclosure.
E. External Bonding Jumpers
1. Where the NEC permits grounding conductors external to, but routed with, a raceway, such routing shall be accomplished by spiraling the conductor around the raceway no more than two revolutions.
