Q

2 types of coverage?

A

Occurrence and claims-made

  • OCCURRENCE-TYPE COVERAGE. Protection under the policy is fixed when the occurrence causing the damage is known. The policy must have been in force at the time of the occurrence, but need not have been in effect at the time the claim was made. Coverage remains effective after construction for claims resulting from the construction process. This type is easier to monitor and enforce, and provides better protection for the owner.
  • CLAIMS-MADE TYPE. Protection under the policy is provided when the insurance is continuously in force from the time of the occurrence to the time of the claim. Claims-made coverage is seldom used for construction projects because of problems with keeping the policy in force long after the project is completed.

Q

CSPG
1.4.1 Gathering Information

Before beginning to write a section of specifications, the specifier must have the necessary information pertaining to that product, equipment, system, or assembly. Two kinds of information are needed. The first is information regarding the specific project requirements that may be obtained from the following:

  • such as mandatory products, standard forms, and standard details
  • The A/E design team’s with recorded product selections by the designer
  • A or specification prepared earlier
  • Applicable and

The second kind of information is reference material pertaining to products and construction methods applicable to the particular specification section. Sources include:

Before beginning to write a section of specifications, the specifier must have the necessary information pertaining to that product, equipment, system, or assembly. Two kinds of information are needed. The first is information regarding the specific project requirements that may be obtained from the following:

  • Owner’s specific requirements such as mandatory products, standard forms, and standard details
  • The A/E design team’s drawings
  • A specifications notebook or checklist with recorded product selections by the designer
  • A preliminary project description or outline specification prepared earlier
  • Applicable laws and building codes

The second kind of information is reference material pertaining to products and construction methods applicable to the particular specification section. Sources include:

  • Manufacturer’s information
  • Handbooks, pamphlets, and other educational and reference material
  • Information available from technical and professional societies
  • Commercial master guide specifications
  • Product representatives
  • Information available from contractors, subcontractors, and special consultants
  • Personal experience
  • Specifications for similar construction projects
41

  2. Prepare Division 01 – General Requirements
  3. Prepare the project specifications
  4. Make decisions about materials, equipment, and methods
  5. Coordinate graphic and written construction documents [CSPG 1.10]
42
Q

Q

Bids

A

Contractors and subcontractors share responsibilities for basing prices on project information shown in the procurement documents. Subcontractors should understand their responsibilities regarding the procurement documents, not merely those applicable to individual trades. The requirements of a specific specification section or division can be impacted significantly by requirements in other portions of the procurement documents, such as the following:

  • The conditions of the contract that define insurance requirements, permits, taxes, and other contractual responsibilities.
  • Division 01 requirements that describe the work covered by the contract documents, such as alternates, allowances, unit prices, project administration and coordination, submittals, temporary facilities and controls, and contract closeout other requirements affect overhead and profit and might necessitate the need for some form of price breakdown or unit costs.
  • Work described in other specification sections and on the drawings affects the work of the subcontractor’s trade.
