1.03 SPECIFICATION CONTENT EXPLANATION <br /> A. Specification Content: This Specification uses certain conventions in the use of language and the intended meaning <br /> of certain terms, words, and phrases when used in particular situations or circumstances. These conventions are <br /> explained as follows: <br /> 1. Abbreviated Language: Language used in Specifications and other Contract Documents is the abbreviated <br /> type. Implied words and meanings will be appropriately interpreted. Singular words will be interpreted as <br /> plural and plural words interpreted as singular where applicable and the full context of the Contract <br /> Documents so indicates. <br /> 2. Imperative and streamlined language is used generally in the Specifications. Requirements expressed in the <br /> imperative mood are to be performed by the Contractor. At certain locations in the text,for clarity,subjective <br /> language is used to describe responsibilities that must be fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor, or by others <br /> when so noted. '®r <br /> a. The words "shall be" shall be included by inference wherever a colon(:) is used within a sentence or <br /> phrase. <br /> 1.04 INDUSTRY STANDARDS <br /> A. Applicability of Standards: Except where the Contract Documents include more stringent requirements,applicable <br /> construction industry standards have the same force and effect as if bound or copied directly into the Contract <br /> Documents. Such standards are made a part of the Contract Documents by reference. <br /> B. Publication Dates: Where the date of issue of a referenced standard is not specified, comply with the standard in <br /> effect as of date of Contract Documents. <br /> C. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified, and the standards establish <br /> different or conflicting requirements for mininnrm quantities or quality levels,refer requirements that are different, <br /> but apparently equal,and uncertainties to the Architect for a decision before proceeding. <br /> 1. Minimum Quantity or Quality Levels: The quantity or quality level shown or specified shall be the minimum <br /> provided or performed. The actual installation may comply exactly with the minimum quantity or quality <br /> specified, or it may exceed the minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements, <br /> indicated numeric values are minimum or maximum,as appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer <br /> uncertainties to the Architect for a decision before proceeding. <br /> D. Copies of Standards: Each entity engaged in construction on the Project is required to be familiar with industry <br /> standards applicable to that entity's construction activity. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the <br /> Contract Documents. <br /> 1. Where copies of standards are needed for performance of a required construction activity,the Contractor shall <br /> obtain copies directly from the publication source. <br /> 2. Although copies of standards needed for enforcement of requirements may be included as part of required <br /> submittals, the Architect reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit additional copies as necessary _ <br /> for enforcement of requirements. <br /> E. Abbreviations and Names: Trade association names and titles of general standards are frequently abbreviated. <br /> Where such acronyms or abbreviations are used in the Specifications or other Contract Documents, they mean the <br /> recognized name of the trade association, standards generating organization, authority having jurisdiction, or other <br /> entity applicable to the context of the text provision.
