1.1 PRE BID SITE VISIT

A. The offeror is required to examine the areas of the proposed work to verify existing conditions, quantities and site characteristics inherent to the work involved. The submission of a proposal will be considered prima facie evidence that the offeror has made such examination and is satis-fied as to the conditions to be encountered in performing the work. For access to the site, contact the Contracting Officer indicated in the solicitation.

1.2 TIME FOR COMPLETION

A. The work shall be completed within the time-period defined in the General Contract.

1.3 PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, AND OTHER CONTRACT DOCUMENTS

A. The requirements of AMS Clause 3.2.2.3-33, Order of precedence and AMS Clause 3.2.2.3- 60, Specifications, Drawings, and Material Submittals shall apply.

B. Plans showing general outlines and details necessary for a comprehensive understanding of the work form a part of the Contract Documents. All work under the Contract shall be per-formed in all respects in compliance with the requirements of the Contract Documents.

C. The Contract Documents provide for a complete work and may have been prepared in divi-sions of various crafts, trades and other categories of work. The Contractor is responsible for the performance of all work under the Contract regardless of any such divisions and shall en-sure that all the work is performed and completed.

D. The FAA will provide the Contractor with .pdf versions of the construction plans and speci-fications marked for the Contractor’s use during the execution of the Contract. The Contractor may reproduce these documents for its use during the performance of the work under this Contract.

E. The Contractor shall always maintain at the Site at least one (1) hard copy of Plans, Technical

Specifications together with at least one (1) complete hard copy set of approved Shop Draw-ings and approved samples.

F. The Contract, Plans, Specifications, and all referenced standards cited are essential parts of the contract requirements. A requirement occurring in one is as binding as though occur-ring in all. They are intended to be complementary and to describe and provide for a com-plete work.

G. In the event of any conflicts, ambiguities, or discrepancies among the Contract Documents, GENERAL PARAGRAPHS 01 00 00 - 2 the precedence in resolving such conflicts, ambiguities, or discrepancies shall be as follows:
