<br />complete all work, etc., as shown on drawings, unless otherwise specified.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall obtain and pay for all necessary permits, licenses, inspections
<br />and other fees, both permanent and temporary, necessary to execute his work.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall verify all conditions before submitting his proposal. No allowance
<br />for extra charges will be permitted because of lack of knowledge of the conditions
<br />except as otherwise specified in the Contract Documents.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall check and verify all lines, levels and dimensions shown on the
<br />drawings and will be held responsible for the correctness and setting out of his work.
<br />Any omissions and/or discrepancies in the drawings noted by the Contractor shall be
<br />brought to the Architect’s attention prior to starting the work.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall guarantee and maintain all workmanship, materials and labor for
<br />a period of one year, or longer, as specified in the drawings and specifications, from
<br />date of completion of the Contract and make good any item proving defective during
<br />that term without any compensation. The Contractor shall submit this guarantee in
<br />writing to the Client on behalf of himself and his Sub-Contractors. The Contractor's
<br />guarantee shall extend to match the guarantee for products, systems and installations
<br />that have been required to have guarantee lengths in excess of one year, as indicated
<br />in the drawings and specifications. The Contractor shall, at the request of the Client,
<br />inspect all work, equipment and systems prior to the expiration of the guarantee
<br />periods and repair all items found to be defective.
<br />
<br />The Contractor shall protect the Client from claims made under Workman’s
<br />Compensation and Public Liability Acts which may arise under this Contract, whether
<br />by himself, by any Sub-Contractor or anyone directly or indirectly employed by him.
<br />Certificates of Insurance shall be filed with the Client before starting the job and shall
<br />be subject to the Client’s approval.
<br />
<br />No extra work shall be paid for except on the order of the Architect or Client. The
<br />Client will not be liable for any extra work not ordered by him.
<br />
<br />Where connection is to be made to existing utilities, the Contractor shall make his own
<br />determination of the location of such utilities.
<br />
<br />Each Contractor shall provide and install all miscellaneous steel, hanger supports,
<br />pipe racks, pipe anchors, etc., as necessary to support all equipment installed under
<br />his contract.
<br />
<br />Substitutions for products specified herein shall be permitted only with Architect’s or
<br />Client’s approval. Any requests for substitution by the Contractor shall be submitted to
<br />the Architect or Client with the appropriate literature, specifications, etc. The warranty
<br />and performance of a substituted product or material shall equal or exceed the original
<br />specified product. In addition, the Contractor shall warrant that substituted materials
<br />shall perform as specified.
<br />
<br />Contractor shall coordinate all aspects of the work with: all Sub-Contractors and
<br />Suppliers engaged to perform work; the existing facilities/conditions; the Owner and
<br />Client; and separate Contractors, if any. Each Sub-Contractor shall verify and review
<br />proposed and/or existing conditions within the extent of his work and shall inform the
<br />Contractor of any work that will be required by others for the completion of his work.
<br />
<br />Each Contractor shall perform all excavation required for the installation of his work
<br />and for connections. Each Contractor shall do all necessary backfilling, tamping,
<br />grading and repairing or replacing of sod, sidewalks, blacktop access and streets
<br />which he disturbs.
<br />
<br />Shop drawings will be reviewed only when three (3) copies are submitted to the
<br />Architect bearing Contractor's 'approved' stamp. Items that require submission:
<br />Storefront, HVAC units, metal panels, façade materials, steel framing, and other
<br />similar items that need to be fabricated should be submitted for review. Items which
<br />do NOT require submission: Premanufactured items that match our specifications and
<br />similar materials, including studs, gypsum board, door hardware, plumbing fixtures,
<br />accessories, interior finishes, ceiling grid, ceiling tile, etc. If proposing a change of
<br />product or material, it should be submitted for review and approval prior to ordering. In
<br />addition, the Contractor shall note and encircle on shop drawings any variation from
<br />the Construction Documents caused by any reason including standard shop practices.
<br />Review of the shop drawings will be general to determine conformance with the design
<br />concept of the project and shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for accuracy
<br />of: shop drawings, as-built and field measurements, quantities; and for proper fittings
<br />or construction of work required by the Contract Documents but not indicated on shop
<br />drawings. Review of shop drawings shall not be construed as approving departures
<br />from contract requirements or as acceptance of responsibility by the Owner, Client and
<br />/ or Architect.
<br />
<br />Samples shall be submitted with full documentation in sets of two (2); one (1) set will
<br />be returned. Provide three (3) or more samples in each set where variations in color,
<br />pattern or texture are noticeable; samples should represent the average condition and
<br />the extreme range of variations. Sample submittals are for the review of color, texture,
<br />pattern and “kind”. Contractor shall keep the returned samples at the project site for
<br />quality control purposes.
<br />
<br />Contractor shall maintain at the project site one (1) set of prints to record and indicate:
<br />all locations of utilities, systems, pipes, conduits, duct work, cabling, etc.; changes
<br />within the Construction Documents; and any other items which may affect future
<br />construction, renovations or repairs. This information shall be submitted to the Owner
<br />and Client on a set of marked-up sepia transparencies upon completion of the project.
<br />
<br />Any additional drawings required for mechanical, electrical or plumbing system design
<br />or for permit submission is the responsibility of the General Contractor to obtain and
<br />pay for.
<br />
<br />Contractor shall fully brace and otherwise protect all work in progress until the building
<br />is completed.
<br />
<br />All plan dimensions are given from face-of-stud to face-of-stud, face-of-masonry to
<br />face-of-masonry, or centerlines, unless noted otherwise. Written dimensions always
<br />supersede measured or scaled dimensions; never measure drawings! Larger scale
<br />drawings shall take precedence over smaller scale drawings.
<br />
<br />Floors, walls, ceilings, partitions, beams, studs and any other parts of the building or
<br />premises which are cut, notched or altered in the installation of equipment or systems
<br />shall be left in a safe structural condition. These installations shall not cause a
<br />decrease in the structural performance of any part or assembly to fall below that which
<br />shall be the minimum required by these specifications and the building codes.
<br />
<br />All equipment and furniture supplied by the Client (or others not covered elsewhere in
<br />these drawings) shall comply with all applicable requirements for accessibility and
<br />flame and smoke class requirements.
<br />
<br />If required upon completion of the project, Contractor shall obtain a Certificate of
<br />Occupancy from the Building Department.
<br />
<br />Prior to start of work, Contractor and Client shall have a pre-construction meeting to
<br />determine the exact sequencing and phasing of construction. Work shown on
<br />drawings shall be phased such that each specific area shall be protected, demolished
<br />and completed.
<br />
<br />Daily activities must be respected by the Contractor with the least amount of
<br />disturbance to the Client and building occupants.
<br />
<br />Due to the nature of the construction, it is essential that the Contractor or Client bring
<br />to the immediate attention of the Architect any variations, discrepancies or conditions
<br />that may affect the design, assembly and smooth construction of this project. Since the
<br />Architect cannot detail every aspect of this project, some conditions and details might
<br />need to be confirmed during construction by the Contractor. The Architect will not be
<br />held responsible for pre-existing conditions which could not have been known prior to
<br />construction. Adjustments such as, redesign, engineering and details may need to be
<br />done at the Client’s expense, as determined by the Architect.
<br />
<br />01 70 00 - Execution and Close-Out Requirements
<br />The Contractor shall notify the Architect/ Engineer and Client's representative to
<br />perform a preliminary final inspection. A punch list outlining work to be corrected,
<br />finished, performed or completed shall be submitted by the Contractor. All work
<br />outlined on the initial punch list shall be completed by the Contractor prior to the final
<br />inspection and before the project will be accepted. After all requirements preparatory
<br />to the final inspection have been completed, the Contractor shall notify the Architect/
<br />Engineer to perform a final inspection. If all of the work has been completed including
<br />punch-list items from earlier inspections and no further corrections are required, then
<br />the Architect/ Engineer shall recommend final acceptance of the project.
