Question 4

7.1 Division 01—General Requirements

The sections in Division 01, which are collectively referred to as the General Requirements, specify,, , , and .

Division 01 sections expand on certain of the administrative and procedural provisions in the conditions of the contract and apply broadly to the execution of the work of all the other sections of the specifications. Administrative and procedural requirements unique to a specific section should be covered in the affected section. Division 01 sections cover general requirements for execution of the work and should be written in language broad enough to apply to sections in Divisions 02 through 49. Without Division 01, these requirements would otherwise be repeated throughout the specifications, and the possibility of conflicts and omissions would be increased.

Question 7

7.3.1 Procurement Requirements

By definition in American Institute of Architects (AIA) and Engineers Joint Contract Documents Committee (EJCDC) general conditions, procurement requirements are not a part of the:

1. Construction Documents
2. Bidding Requirements

Question 8

7.3.2 Owner-Contractor Agreement

Question 9

7.3.3 General Conditions

Thegovern the execution of the work and apply broadly to sections of the specifications, including those in Division 01. As these topics are covered only in very broad terms, they must be specified in further detail in Division 01 to. Although the topics are addressed in two locations, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) principle of “say it once” is not violated because the requirements are stated in two different levels of detail, without duplication or conflict

Answer 9

7.3.3 General Conditions

The general conditions of the contract govern the execution of the work and apply broadly to sections of the specifications, including those in Division 01. As these topics are covered only in very broad terms, they must be specified in further detail in Division 01 to tailor requirements to a specific project. Although the topics are addressed in two locations, the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) principle of “say it once” is not violated because the requirements are stated in two different levels of detail, without duplication or conflict

Question 10

7.3.4 Supplementary Conditions

Answer 10

Supplementary conditions should not repeat information contained in the General Conditions or encroach on topics that belong more appropriately in Division 01. Proper coordination between Division 01 and supplementary conditions will avoid conflicts, omissions, and duplications.

Other than a statement establishing the authority of Division 01, the supplementary conditions should not contain general references to Division 01.

Question 11

7.3.5 Other Specification Sections

• Thestate provisions in broad terms.
• elaborate on the broad provisions of the conditions of the contract, but it is still written broadly enough to apply to the work of all specification sections.
• in a specification section becomes very specific in project requirements for that section only.

Answer 11

7.3.5 Other Specification Sections

Question 12

7.3.6 Drawings

Drawings graphically define certain Division 01 subject matter, such as the extent of work, and may define related work that may or may not be part of the contract.

Sections, such as those covering,, and, usually require extensive delineation on the drawings and close coordination between the drawings and Division 01.

Answer 12

7.3.6 Drawings

Drawings graphically define certain Division 01 subject matter, such as the extent of work, and may define related work that may or may not be part of the contract.

Sections, such as those covering use of the site, phased construction, and multiple prime contracts, usually require extensive delineation on the drawings and close coordination between the drawings and Division 01.

Question 13

7.4.1 Coordination with Division 01—General Requirements

A number of articles in the general conditions are usually expanded in Division 01—General Requirements to accommodate specific administrative and procedural requirements of a project. General and supplementary conditions are written in a paragraph style, while Division 01 is written in the three-part SectionFormat™.

Proper use of Division 01 avoids mixing conditions of the contract with the administrative and procedural details of the specifications. Coordination is necessary between each section of Division 01 and the sections of Divisions 02 through 49, and among the sections of Division 01 that cover interrelated administrative and procedural requirements.

As many of the contractual relationships and responsibilities described in Division 01 sections for any project are required by the owner, the A/E should obtain instructions for preparing the affected sections. The A/E should establish the basic responsibilities of the team members for preparation of the Division 01 requirements and for overall coordination of the specifications. This involves close coordination of Division 01 provisions at an early stage in the production of the contract documents to avoid conflicts, duplication, and omissions in the project manual. The coordination effort should include:

Multiple sections within an individual division have administrative and procedural requirements unique to that division. However, the common requirements should be specified in.

Answer 26

7.7 Specifying Alternates

Most master guide specifications and standard documents do not contain extensive provisions for alternates, as they are generally unique to each project. If alternates are to be used, special provisions must be incorporated in the documents to make them effective.

• Procurement Requirements: The solicitation, such as the invitation for bids, should inform bidders or proposers of the request for alternate prices.

Solicitation instructions may contain guidance for preparing alternate bids or proposals and state considerations for evaluation and award of contract. Bid or proposal forms should clearly identify alternates with spaces for the respective prices.
