b. General: Basic Contract definitions are included in the General Conditions.

c. Indicated: The term "indicated" refers to graphic representations, notes, or schedules on the Drawings, other paragraphs or schedules in the Specifications, and similar requirements in the Contract Documents. Where terms such as "shown, " "noted," "scheduled," and "specified" are used, it is to help the reader locate the reference; no limitation on location is intended.

d. Directed: Terms such as "directed," "requested," "authorized," "selected," "approved," "required," and "permitted" mean "directed by the Construction Manager," "requested by the Construction Manager," and similar phrases.

e. Reviewed: The term "reviewed," where used in conjunction with the Construction Manager's action on the Contractor's submittals, applications, and requests, is limited to the Construction Manager's duties and responsibilities as stated in General and Supplementary Conditions.

f. Regulation: The term "Regulations" includes laws, ordinances, statutes, and lawful orders issued by authorities having jurisdiction, as well as rules, conventions, and agreements within the construction industry that control performance of the Work.

g. Furnish: The term "furnish" is used to mean "supply and deliver to the Project site, ready for unloading, unpacking, assembly, installation, and similar operations."

h. Install: The term "install" is used to describe operations at project site including the actual "unloading, unpacking, assembly, erection, placing, anchoring, applying, working to dimension, finishing, curing, protecting, cleaning, and similar operations."

i. Provide: The term "provide" means "to furnish and install, complete and ready for the intended use."

j. Installer: An "Installer" is the Contractor or an entity engaged by the Contractor, either as an employee, subcontractor, or sub-subcontractor, for performance of a particular construction activity, including installation, erection, application, and similar operations. Installers are required to be experienced in the operations they are engaged to perform. The term "experienced" when used with the term "installer" means having a minimum of 5 previous Projects similar in size and scope to this Project, being familiar with the precautions required, and having complied with requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

k. Trades: Use of titles such as "carpentry" is not intended to imply that certain construction activities must be performed by accredited or unionized individuals of a corresponding generic name, SECTION 01 09 50 Page 2 such as "carpenter." It also does not imply that requirements specified apply exclusively to trades persons of the corresponding generic name.

l. Assignment of Specialists: Certain Sections of the Specifications require that specific construction activities shall be performed by specialists who are recognized experts in the operations to be performed. The specialists must be engaged for those activities, and assignments are requirements over which the Contractor has no choice or option. Nevertheless, the ultimate responsibility for fulfilling Contract requirements remains with the Contractor. This requirement shall not be interpreted to conflict with enforcement of building codes and similar regulations governing the Work. It is also not intended to interfere with local trade union jurisdictional settlements and similar conventions.

m. Project Site: The space available to the Contractor for performance of construction activities, either exclusively or in conjunction with others performing other work as part of the Project.

The extent of the Project Site is shown on the Drawings and may or may not be identical with the description of the land upon which the Project is to be built.

n. Testing Laboratories: A "testing laboratory" is an independent entity engaged to perform specific inspections or tests, either at the Project Site or elsewhere, and to report on and, if required, to interpret results of those inspections or tests.

Industry Standards

a. Applicability of Standards: Except where the Contract Documents include more stringent requirements, applicable construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound or copied directly into the Contract Documents. Such standards are made a part of the Contract Documents by reference.

b. Publication Dates: Where the date of issue of a referenced standard is not specified, comply with the standard in effect as of date of Contract Documents.

c. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified, and the standards establish different or conflicting requirements for minimum quantities or quality levels, refer requirements that are different, but apparently equal, and uncertainties to the Contracting Officer for a decision before proceeding. Generally, the most stringent requirement will govern.

d. Minimum Quantity or Quality Levels: The quantity or quality level shown or specified shall be the minimum provided or performed. The actual installation may comply exactly with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or it may exceed the minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum, as appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer uncertainties to the Contracting Officer for a decision before proceeding.

e. Copies of Standards: Each entity engaged in construction on the Project is required to be familiar with industry standards applicable to that entity's construction activity. Copies of applicable standards

SECTION 01 09 50 Page 3 are not bound with the Contract Documents. Where copies of standards are needed for performance of a required construction activity, the Contractor shall obtain copies directly from the publication source.
