B. Systems provided by this Division are noted under Related Sections.

C. The work to be performed under this contract includes providing of all labor, materials, and equipment for the work described herein for complete systems.

D. Combined Prescriptive and Performance Design Requirements

1. Division 27 includes a combination of prescriptive and performance specifications. Compliance with the plans, specifications, standards, as well as coordination and integration of the systems will require substantial design work on the part of the Contractor.

2. The prescriptive requirements establish the minimum quality, characteristics, and types of components, equipment, and materials to be used to achieve the stated system performance requirements.

The Contractor is advised, however, that prescriptive specifications have not been provided to satisfy all of the specified performance requirements.

3. The performance requirements are intended to establish overall system performance requirements, satisfy the operational requirements, and establish the inter-coordination requirements for the systems.

4. Telecommunications standards shall be met for both prescriptive and performance criteria. Knowledge of the applicable standards is required for implementation of the design.

5. The Contractor shall carefully consider all of the requirements for each of the systems when preparing its bid. Any questions regarding the intent of these requirements, the scope of the systems or their coordination requirements must be submitted in writing prior to bidding in accordance with the Instructions to Bidders. The Contractor shall have no claim for either extra compensation or extra time on the grounds that it did not understand the scope or the requirements of the work, and/or the coordination requirements of the work with the work of the other Divisions.

6. Compliance with the project requirements will be progressively monitored and adjusted through the submittal process, Shop Test, Performance Test and Continuous Operational Test.

E. Drawing Interpretation

1. The Drawings are diagrammatic and indicate the general arrangement of systems and equipment unless indicated otherwise by dimensions or detail drawings. The Drawings utilize riser, block, installation and schematic diagrams and symbols to outline the Work to be provided. These drawings do not have any dimensional significance nor do they delineate every item required for the intended Work. No interpretation shall be made from the limitations of symbols and diagrams that any elements necessary for complete Work are excluded.

2. The Work shall be provided in accordance with the intent expressed on the Drawings and Specifications, and in conformance with the actual building architectural and structural conditions. When in conflict, field conditions take precedence over the Contract Documents.

3. The meaning of abbreviations shall be the same whether in lower case letters or without periods.

4. The use of words in the singular shall not be considered as singular where other indications denote that more than one item is referred to.

5. Details that appear on the Contract Documents which are specific with regard to the dimensioning and positioning of the Work, are intended only for the purpose of establishing general feasibility.

They do not replace engineering or field coordination by the contractor for the Work.

F. Provide all parts and equipment for a complete and operational system for the Work as described herein and shown on the drawings.

G. Furnish and install all trenching and backfill, duct banks, conduits, raceways, sleeves, boxes, gutters, shelves, enclosures, shelf and enclosure supports, backboards, pull ropes (in unused or spare conduits) required to make all systems fully operational, including components not shown on the Drawings, but necessary for fully operational systems.

H. Furnish, install, terminate, test, dress, and identify all wire and cable required to make systems fully operational, including all wire and cabling not shown on the Drawings, but necessary for fully operational systems.

I. Recognize that the Work entails a considerable amount of custom integration between individual systems, as well as the design and implementation of many system and component interfaces. Take full responsibility for the complete design, installation, and performance of the total integrated system, including integration between systems and various interfaces, in order to achieve the specified operational features and system performance requirements.

J. Recognize that the Work entails a considerable amount of custom-written and custom-tailored software, both high-level language applications and hardware-specific drivers. Take full responsibility for the performance of the total software suite, including the software embedded in manufactured equipment, in order to achieve the specified operational features and system performance requirements.

K. Fully test the systems, demonstrate their satisfactory operation, and train maintenance and operating personnel, as specified in this Section and the Sections governed by this Section.

1.6 COORDINATION

A. The work of this Division required extensive coordination with other trades and the Government. Coordinate with the Government and all other trades as required to ensure that the entire Work of this Project will be carried out in an orderly, complete, and coordinated fashion.
