6. Work not indicated on a part of the drawings, but reasonably implied to be similar to that shown at corresponding pieces, shall be repeated.

7. Temporary bracing, sheeting, shoring, etc., required to ensure the structural integrity/stability of the existing buildings, sidewalks, utilities, etc. during construction is the Contractor's responsibility and shall be designed by a Professional Engineer licensed in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

8. Shop Drawings:

• Shop drawings for materials shall be submitted to the Architect for review prior to the start of fabrication or commencement of work.

• No portion of the contract drawings may be reproduced for submittal as shop drawings unless authorized by Balzer and Associates, Inc. in writing. Violation of this provision will result in the rejection of the shop drawings and will be returned without being reviewed by the Architect or Structural Engineer.

• Shop drawings shall bear the General Contractor's stamp of approval, which shall constitute certification that he has verified all field measurements, construction criteria, materials, and similar data and has checked each drawing for completeness, coordination, and compliance with the contract documents. Shop drawings not reviewed by the General Contractor prior to submittal will be rejected.
