SUMMARY 01 11 00 - 2
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS
The contract documents cover the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), hereinafter referred to as the Government, for the replacement of two (2) Computer Room Air Conditioning units in Room 110A of the facility main building.
Intent of contract documents
1. Titles: Titles to divisions and sections of the specifications and notes and titles on drawings referring to subcontractors, division of work by trade, or type of work are used for convenience and do not imply any separate contractual arrangements of work assignments. Such separations into titles, divisions, sections, or notes should not be construed to establish limits between the Contractor and its subcontractors.
2. Reference to known standards within the Contract Documents means the latest edition in effect on the date of solicitation, unless specified otherwise.
3. Where Contract Documents refer to “Related Work in Other Sections” or “Related Requirements”, the Contractor should not consider the list of specification divisions/sections to be all-inclusive. These lists are provided as a convenience for cross-reference and coordination.
4. Order of Preference: Generally, the written word takes precedence over the drawings. Figures marked on drawings should be followed in preference to scale measurements. Large-scale drawings should govern small-scale drawings. The Contractor should not use dimensions scaled from the drawings. All dimensions shown on the drawings must be verified by the Contractor by actual measurements in the field. Any discrepancy between the drawings and specifications and the existing conditions must be referred to the Contracting Officer for resolution before any work affected is performed. The Contractor must compare all drawings and verify the figures before laying-out the work and will be responsible for any errors, which might have avoided thereby.
Specification and Drawing Review: The Contractor is responsible for complete knowledge and understanding of the Contract Documents throughout the life of the Contract. The Contractor must check the Contract Documents immediately upon their receipt and promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any discrepancies.
CONTRACT COORDINATION
Contracting Officer (CO): the person designated to act on behalf of the Government in the performance and administration of the contract.
Contracting Officer's Representative (COR): is the Contracting Officer’s authorized representative.
The COR is the point of contact for all work on site between the Contractor and Government. The Contractor will coordinate all work through the COR, or will keep the COR informed when dealing directly with the Contracting Officer. The Government will coordinate through the COR to the Contractor, except in case of urgency or emergency.
Correspondence: all correspondence must be addressed and delivered electronically to the Contracting Officer and the COR, and must be serially numbered commencing with number one (1), with no numbers missing or duplicated. All files/documents must be legible. Enclosures attached or transmitted with the correspondence must also be furnished electronically with copy to the COR.
Each serial correspondence must include the contract number and project name and must have only one subject. The Contractor must create and maintain a serial letter log that shows the serial
SUMMARY 01 11 00 - 3
letter number, date, topic, and disposition if applicable. The Contractor must submit the updated serial letter log monthly.

SUMMARY 01 11 00 - 4
All employees are subject to vehicle and on-person search. Current procedures at FAA facilities include the "right to search". Access to the site constitutes consent to search. If in the judgment of the FAA Security Guard a cause to search a vehicle or the person of personnel exists, such search will be made.
1. All persons entering or delivering to this federal facility must have valid government issued identification. Valid issued government identification is:

SUMMARY 01 11 00 - 5
3. Types of FAA Identification Media Badge: FAA Identification Media consist of a Contractor PIV Badge that allows the contractor access to the grounds and work site and escort authorized visitors at the work site. Typically the contractor superintendent and subcontractor foreman/superintendent obtain Contractor PIV Badge. The FAA reserves the right to limit the number of “PIV” Badges issued.
4. Contractor’s personnel shall not violate any FAA security regulations. Violators will be removed from the premises with the right to reenter revocable.

Equipment, materials, vehicles and storage bins shall be located a minimum of 20 feet away from perimeter security fence.
Contractor's job superintendent cannot leave job site without notification to the COR. Failure to comply with this requirement may result in FAA to ask the rest of the Contractor's crew to leave until there is a superintendent/supervisor on job site. The cost/delay caused by this action is the Contractor's responsibility.
