Section X. Technical Specifications
SECTION 01000
EXPLANATION FOR THE SPECIFICATIONS
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Drawings and Specifications are complementary to each other. Drawings are graphic
means of showing work to be done. They are particularly suited to showing materials are
located. Thus, drawings exist essentially to show dimension, location and placement. Not
all works, however, can be presented in the drawings. Generalized works are usually
statement form and hence, the contractor is required to read the specifications carefully.
Specifications, on the other hand, are used to describe the materials, construction
techniques, samples, shop drawings, guarantees and other contract requirements. Together,
the drawings and the specifications are used to inform the contractor. In cases where the
specified brand carries with it the manufacturer’s specifications, the manufacturer’s
specifications shall hold precedence over these specifications.
The Specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete sentences. The
selection of the sentence depends on the underlying principles of Specifications:
A. That the Technical Specifications are only one part of the contract Documents.
B. That the contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor and C. That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for completing the work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
Therefore:
A. Only the General Contractor is referred to in the Specifications so as not to violate the
intent of the contract and so as not to undermine the proper chain of command.
B. Any reference to Specialty Trade Contractors in the technical Specifications is made
only in so far as selection of Specialty Trade Contractors is made through bidding. Once
the Specialty Trade Contractors are selected and assigned to the General Contractor,
the General Contractor assumes all the responsibilities for the execution of the whole
project in accordance with the Contract Documents. Therefore, in the contract between
the Owner and the General Contractor, the Specialty Trade Contractor is not referred
to. In all contract Documents, the word “Contractor” means the General Contractor.
C. The brand names specified are intended to assure the level of quality needed for the
project. This does not mean however that the brands specified are exclusive. The
Contractor shall prove by laboratory tests and certificates that substitute materials are
of the equivalent quality and the Contractor shall secure the Architect’s approval prior
to use of such substitutes.
D. The omission of the phrase “The Contractor shall “is intentional because the whole
Specifications is directed to the Contractor. Omitted words or phrases shall be supplied
by inference in the same manner as they are when a “note” occurs on the drawings.
E. Where “as shown”, “as indicated”, “as detailed” or words of similar import are used, it
shall be understood that reference to the drawings accompanying the Specifications is
made unless otherwise stated.
F. Where “as directed “, “as required”, “as permitted”, “as authorized”, “as approved,
accepted” or words of similar import as used, it shall be understood that the direction,
requirements, permission, authorization, approval or acceptance of the Architect is
intended unless otherwise stated.
G. As used herein, “provided” shall be understood to mean “provided complete in place,”
that is, “furnished and installed”.
H. Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is especially suited for
instructions covering installation of products and equipment.
Example:
“Spread planting soil mixture to depth required to meet thickness, grades, elevations shown”
“Reuse surface soil stockpiled on site”
“Maintain ground cover by watering”
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action to be performed.
This style is readily understandable and concise.
2.0 CLARIFICATIONS
All reference to any particular brand, material, equipment, or systems in the specifications,
drawings, and bid documents is indicative of the type and quality of what is required.
However, any equal material or equipment or system can be used if approved by the
University.
