1.02 DRAWINGS AND PROJECT MANUAL
A. Drawings: When obtaining data and information from the Drawings, figures shall be used in
preference to scaled dimensions, and large-scale drawings in preference to small scale
drawings.
B. Copies Furnished to Contractor: After the Contract has been executed, the Contractor will be
furnished up to five (5) complete sets of plans and five (5) copies of the Project Manual (Contract
Requirements and Specifications) and all addenda.
C. Supplementary Drawings:
01000 - 2

City of Port Orange
Cambridge Canal Basin - Stormwater Pond Repair
1. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, it becomes necessary to explain more fully the work to
be done or to illustrate the Work further or to show any changes which may be required,
drawings known as Supplementary Drawings, with specifications pertaining thereto, will be
prepared by the Engineer and the Contractor will be furnished up to five (5) sheets and one
(1) reproducible copy of any revised specifications.
2. The Supplementary Drawings shall be binding upon the Contractor with the same force as
the Drawings. Where such Supplementary Drawings require either less or more than the
estimated quantities of work, credit to the Owner or compensation therefor to the Contractor
shall be subject to the terms of the Agreement.
D. Contractor to Check Drawings and Data:
1. The Contractor shall verify all dimensions, quantities and details shown on the Drawings,
Supplementary Drawings, schedules, Specifications or other data received from the
Engineer, and shall notify him of all errors, omissions, conflicts, and discrepancies found
therein. Failure to discover or correct errors, conflicts or discrepancies shall not relieve the
Contractor of full responsibility for unsatisfactory work, faulty construction or improper
operation resulting therefrom nor from rectifying such conditions at no additional expense to
Owner or Engineer. Contractor will not be allowed to take advantage of any errors or
omissions, as full instructions will be furnished by the Engineer, should such errors or
omissions be discovered.
2. All schedules are given for the convenience of the Owner and the Contractor and are not
guaranteed to be complete. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility for the making of
estimates of the size, kind, and quality of materials and equipment included in work to be
done under the Contract and additional work claimed by Contractor.
E. Specifications: The Technical Specifications consist of three parts: General, Products and
Execution. The General Section contains General Requirements which govern the work.
Products and Execution modify and supplement these by detailed requirements for the work and
shall always govern whenever there appears to be a conflict.
F. Intent:
1. All work called for in the Specifications applicable to this Contract, but not shown on the
Drawings in their present form, or vice versa, shall be of like effect as if shown or mentioned
in both. Work not specified in either the Drawings or in the Specifications, but involved in
carrying out their intent or in the complete and proper execution of the Work, is required and
shall be performed by the Contractor as though it were specifically delineated or described.
2. The apparent silence of the Specifications as to any detail, or the apparent omission from
them of a detailed description concerning any work to be done and materials to be furnished,
shall be regarded as meaning that only the best general practice is to prevail and that only
material and workmanship of the best quality is to be used, and interpretation of these
Specifications shall be made upon that basis.

speedy and uninterrupted progress of the work so as to complete the work within the allotted
time. However, the Contractor shall not store materials on-site for more than ninety (90) days
before installation or store equipment for more than thirty (30) days before installation. This
will not supersede more stringent requirements noted elsewhere in the Contract Documents.
2. The Contractor shall also coordinate deliveries in order to avoid delay in, or impede, the
progress of the work of any related Contractor.
