SAMSON OCEANFRONT PARK <br />CITY OF SUNNY ISLES <br />TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS <br />DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS 0109 0-2 <br /> a. Imperative and Streamlined Language: These Specifications are written in imperative and <br />abbreviated form. This imperative language of the technical Sections is directed at the <br />Contractor, unless specifically noted otherwise. Incomplete sentences shall be completed by <br />inserting "shall," "the Contractor shall," and "shall be," and similar mandatory phrases by <br />inference in the same manner as they are applied to notes on the Drawings. The words "shall <br />be" shall be supplied by inference where a colon (:) is used within sentences or phrases. <br />Except as worded to the contrary, fulfill (perform) all indicated requirements whether stated <br />imperatively or otherwise. <br /> b. Specifying Methods: The techniques or methods of specifying requirements varies <br />throughout text, and may include "prescriptive," "compliance with standards," <br />"performance," "proprietary," or a combination of these. The method used for specifying one <br />unit of Work has no bearing on requirements for another unit of Work. <br /> c. Overlapping and Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more industry <br />standards or sets of requirements is specified, and overlapping of those different standards or <br />requirements establishes different or conflicting minimums or levels of quality, notify <br />Engineer for a decision as specified in GENERAL CONDITIONS. <br /> d. Abbreviations: Throughout the Contract Documents are abbreviations implying words and <br />meanings which shall be appropriately interpreted. Specific abbreviations have been <br />established, principally for lengthy technical terminology and in conjunction with <br />coordination of Specification requirements with notations on Drawings and in schedules. <br />These are normally defined at first instance of use. Organizational and association names and <br />titles of general standards are also abbreviated. <br /> <br />C. Assignment of Specialists: In certain instances, Specification text requires that specific Work be assigned <br />to specialists in the operations to be performed. These specialists must be engaged for performance of <br />those units of Work and assignments are requirements over which Contractor has no choice or option. <br />These assignments must not be confused with, and are not intended to interfere with, enforcement of <br />building codes and similar regulations governing the Work, local trade and union jurisdictions and similar <br />conventions. Nevertheless, final responsibility for fulfillment of Contract requirements remains with <br />Contractor. <br /> <br />D. Trades: Except as otherwise specified or indicated, the use of titles such as "carpentry" in Specification <br />text, implies neither that the Work must be performed by an accredited or unionized tradesperson of <br />corresponding generic name (such as "carpenter"), nor that specified requirements apply exclusively to <br />work by tradespersons of that corresponding generic name. <br /> <br />1.03 DRAWING SYMBOLS <br /> <br />: <br /> A. Except as otherwise indicated, graphic symbols used on Drawings are those symbols recognized in the <br />construction industry for purposes indicated.
