1.2 GENERAL PROJECT COORDINATION

A. Coordination of Trades: Coordinate construction operations included in the various sections of the Specifications to provide an efficient and orderly installation of each part of the Work. Coordinate construction operations included under different sections of the Specifications that depend on each other for proper installation, connection or operation. Keep pipes, ducts, conduit, and the like as close as possible to ceiling slab, walls, and columns to take up a minimum amount of space.

Locate pipes, ducts, and equipment so that they do not interfere with the intended use of eyebolts and other lifting devices. Assure all controls can be reached and operated.

1. Schedule construction operations in the sequence required to obtain the best results where the installation of one part of the Work depends on installation of other components before or after that part.

2. Coordinate installation of different components to provide maximum accessibility for required maintenance, service, testing and repair.

3. Minimize roof penetrations.

B. Notification: Prepare and distribute memoranda to each party involved, outlining special procedures required for coordination. Include notices, reports and meeting minutes as part of the memoranda.

C. Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of administrative procedures with other construction activities to avoid conflicts and promote orderly progress of the Work.

Administrative procedures include but are not limited to the following:

1. Preparation of schedules.

2. Installation and removal of temporary facilities.

3. Security packages and systems by others (i.e. U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), Federal

Protective Service (FPS), tenants, etc.)

2. Indicate required installation sequences.

3. Indicate minimum access space requirements for routine maintenance and for anticipated replacement of components during the life of the installation.

4. Show locations and sizes of all access doors on vertical and horizontal surfaces throughout the facility.

5. Provide vertical and horizontal dimensions necessary to locate each component and avoid conflicts within the space.
