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 and safe progress of the Work.

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.
6. Comply with shop drawing requirements for sheet size and submittal methods specified in Division 1 Section 013300 "Submittal Procedures.
