SAMSON OCEANFRONT PARK CITY OF SUNNY ISLES TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS 01015-1 SECTION 01015 DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS PART 1 - GENERAL 1.01 SCOPE A. Definitions: : 1. A substantial amount of specification language constitutes definitions for terms found in other areas of Contract Documents including drawings which must be recognized as diagrammatic in nature and not completely descriptive of requirements indicated. 2. Certain terms used in the Contract Documents are defined in the General Conditions. Definitions and explanations are not necessarily either complete or exclusive but are general for the work. B. General Requirements: General requirements are the provisions or requirements of Division 1 sections and which apply to the entire work of the Contract. 1.02 FORMAT AND SPECIFICATION EXPLANATIONS : A. Format Explanation: The format of principal portions of these specifications can be described as follows, although other portions may not fully comply and no particular significance will be attached to such compliance or noncompliance. 1. Sections and Divisions: For convenience, basic unit of specification text is a "section", each unit of which is named and numbered. These are organized into related families of sections, and various families of sections are organized into "divisions", which are recognized as the present industry consensus on uniform organization and sequencing of specifications. The section title is not intended to limit meaning or content of section, nor to be fully descriptive of requirements specified therein nor to be an integral part of text. 2. Section Numbering: Used for identification and to facilitate cross-references in contract documents. Sections are placed in numeric sequence; however, numbering sequence is not complete, and listing of sections in Table of Contents at beginning of Contract Documents must be consulted to determine numbers and names of specification sections in these Contract Documents. 3. Page Numbering: Numbered independently for each section. Section number is shown with page number of bottom of each page to facilitate location of text. 4. Parts: Each section of these specifications generally has been subdivided into three (3) basic parts for uniformity and convenience (Part 1 "General", Part 2 "Products", and Part 3 "Execution"). These parts do not limit the meaning of text within. Some sections may not contain all three parts when not applicable, or may contain more than three parts to add clarity to organization of section. 5. Imperative Language: Used generally in specifications. Except as otherwise indicated, requirements expressed imperatively are to be performed by the Contractor. For clarity of reading, at certain locations contrasting subjective language is used to describe responsibilities which must be fulfilled indirectly by the Contractor or, when so noted, by others. 6. Specialists, Assignments: In certain instances, specification text requires that specific work be assigned to specialists or expert entities who must be engaged for performance of those units of work. These must be recognized as special requirements over which the Contractor has no choice or option. These assignments must not be confused with, and are not intended to interfere with, normal application of regulations, union jurisdictions and similar conventions. Nevertheless final responsibility for fulfillment of the entire set of requirements remains with the Contractor. 7. Trades: Except as otherwise specified or indicated, the use of titles such as "carpentry" in specification text, implies neither that the work must be performed by an accredited or unionized tradesperson of corresponding generic name (such as "carpenter"), nor that specified requirements apply exclusively to work by tradespersons of that corresponding generic name.
