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.
