Re- SPECIFICATIONS
I.                   M. S. sections are developed for all disciplines. In the “N.Y.O” they
can be obtained for editing from”Data Center, IF”. Each discipline should mark-up an index of each section and obtain a first cut printout of AA sections applicable for the
project. The project Engineer/Designer is responsible for obtaining this
information. In the regional offices this procedure will vary however check with
 the Chief Engineer for the proper procedures.
II.                The PM’s role in specification writing is to coordinate the specification format
 with our client and in NY advise SHIS of the format for the
 individualspecification sections. Since SHIS has limitations in formating, a
sample printout should be sent to the client early on for approval. If agreement
 cannot be obtained, refer the matter to the “P.I.C”.
III.             A “Special Conditions for Mechanical and Electrical Work” section must be included in every specification. This section should be prepared and coordinated with our client . It is essential that the items we have included in this section be made part of the Contract Documents.
VI .  Since our specifications are designed around the AIA “General Conditions” Section “A201”, the Special Conditions are modifications to this document. If this section is not included or referenced in the Architects specifications, then the contents of what we ordinarily include in the Special Conditions should be incorporated as a separate entity, or included in the architectural specifications. For public agencies where there are government specifications, a very careful review of their documents is required to assure coordination and to avoid conflicting statements.
IV.             The Project Manager is responsible for this effort and establishoing and coordinating the scope of our work, and work that is not included in our Contract. Each “General Provisions” section of each discipline should be reviewed by the PM for consistency.
V.                The PM is also responsible to review the architectural, structural and other consultant specifications (Food Service, Laboratory) for coordination beteen their work and our work . While this effort should be performed by the Architect, it is beneficial for us to do it so that potential problems due to missing links do not appear during construction or become items of litigation.
1.       Phases of Work Related to Specification Requirements
a.        Schematic Phase
During this phase no specifications are prepared or required.  The only written document that should be produced during this phase is a “Design Criteria”. This is covered in another setion of the Manual.
b.       Design Development Phase
This phase is a “preliminary phase” and is usually developed to obtain a construction cost. As such, a specification is required. This specification can be one of two documents.

We can either prepare a Design development specification from the master Design development specification for each discipline, or we can use the final specification and incorporate as much information as we know at the of issue.
This specification can be expanded for use when we produce the final construction documents.
The decision on which to use should be consistent with the needs of the project.
c.        Construction Document Phase
This phase requires a complete detailed specification tailored to suit the requirements of the project. The project engineer should obtain the master specification from SHIS for editing.
The PM should make sure that this effort is coordinated with all disciplines. All “architectual blurbs” which are required to be included in the specifications should be distributed to the various disciplines for incorporation.
