I. "Installer": An installer is Contractor or another entity engaged by Contractor, as an employee, subcontractor, or contractor of lower tier, to perform a particular construction operation, includ-ing installation, erection, application, and similar operations.

J. The term "experienced," when used with the term "installer," means having successfully com-pleted a minimum of five (5) previous projects similar in size and scope to this Project; being familiar with the special requirements indicated; and having complied with requirements of au-thorities having jurisdiction.

1. Using a term such as "carpentry" does not imply that certain construction activities must be performed by accredited or unionized individuals of a corresponding generic name, such as "carpenter." It also does not imply that requirements specified apply exclusively to tradespeople of the corresponding generic name. Contractor will comply with Davis- Bacon wages rates and classifications.

K. "Project site" is the space available for performing construction activities, either exclusively or in conjunction with others performing other work as part of Project. The extent of Project site is shown on the Drawings and may or may not be identical with the description of the land on which Project is to be built.

1.3 INDUSTRY STANDARDS

A. Applicability of Standards: Unless the Contract Documents include more stringent require-ments, applicable construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound or copied directly into the Contract Documents to the extent referenced. Such standards are made a part of the Contract Documents by reference.

B. Publication Dates: Comply with standards in effect as of the date of the Contract Documents, unless otherwise indicated.

C. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified and the standards establish different or conflicting requirements for minimum quantities or quality lev-els, comply with the most stringent requirement. Refer uncertainties and requirements that are different, but apparently equal, to Owner or Architect for a decision before proceeding.

1. Minimum Quantity or Quality Levels: The quantity or quality level shown or specified shall be the minimum provided or performed. The actual installation may comply exactly with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or it may exceed the minimum within reasonable limits. To comply with these requirements, indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum, as appropriate, for the context of the requirements. Refer uncer-tainties to Owner or Architect for a decision before proceeding.

D. Copies of Standards: Each entity engaged in construction on Project must be familiar with in-dustry standards applicable to its construction activity. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the Contract Documents.

1. Where copies of standards are needed to perform a required construction activity, obtain copies directly from the publication source and make them available on request.

E. Abbreviations and Names: Abbreviations and acronyms are frequently used in the Specifica-tions and other Contract Documents to represent the name of a trade association, standards-developing organization, authorities having jurisdiction, or other entity in the context of refer-encing a standard or publication. Where abbreviations and acronyms are used in the Specifica-tions or other Contract Documents, they mean the recognized name of these entities. Refer to Gale Research's "Encyclopedia of Associations" or Columbia Books' "National Trade & Profes-sional Associations of the U.S.," which are available in most libraries.

F. Abbreviations and Names: Abbreviations and acronyms are frequently used in the Specifica-tions and other Contract Documents to represent the name of a trade association, standards-

developing organization, authorities having jurisdiction, or other entity in the context of refer-encing a standard or publication. The following abbreviations and acronyms, as referenced in the Contract Documents, mean the associated names. Names and addresses are subject to change and are believed, but are not assured, to be accurate and up-to-date as of the date of the Contract Documents.
