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. Supplementary Drawings:
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 one (1) complete set of
reproducible drawings (24 inches by 36 inches) and one (1) reproducible copy of the
specifications.
2. The Supplementary Drawings shall be binding upon the Contractor with the same force as the
Contract Drawings. Where such Supplementary Drawings require either less or more than the
estimated quantities of Work, credit to the Owner or compensation therefore to the Contractor
shall be subject to the terms of the Agreement.
C. 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,

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 his own expense. He 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 Engineer and the Contractor and are not
guaranteed to be complete. The Contractor shall assume all responsibility for the making of

detailed requirements for the Work and shall always govern whenever there appears to be a conflict.
E. 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, the interpretation of these Specifications shall be
made upon that basis.

A. Manufacturer:
1. All transactions with the manufacturers or subcontractors shall be through the Contractor,
unless the Contractor shall request and at the Engineer's option, that the manufacturer or
subcontractor deal directly with the Engineer. Any such transactions shall not in any way
release the Contractor from his full responsibility under this Contract.
2. Any two (2) or more pieces of material or equipment of the same kind, type, or classification,
and being used for identical types of service, shall be made by the same manufacturer.
B. Delivery:
1. The Contractor shall deliver materials in ample quantities to ensure the most speedy and
uninterrupted progress of the Work so as to complete the Work within the allotted time.
2. The Contractor shall also coordinate deliveries in order to avoid delay in, or impediment of, the
progress of the work of any related Contractor.
C. Tools and Accessories:
1. The Contractor shall, unless otherwise stated in the Contract Documents, furnish with each type,
kind, or size of equipment, one (1) complete set of suitably marked high grade special tools and
