<br />Copyright 2002 AIA <br /> <br />MASTERSPEC <br /> <br />11/02 <br /> <br />5. Proceed with installation only after unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. <br />Proceeding with the Work indicates acceptance of surfaces and conditions. <br /> <br />3.2 PREPARATION <br /> <br />A. Existing Utility Information: Furnish information to local utility that is necessary to adjust, <br />move, or relocate existing utility structures, utility poles, lines, services, or other utility <br />appurtenances located in or affected by construction. Coordinate with authorities having <br />jurisdiction. <br /> <br />B. Field Measurements: Take field measurements as required to fit the Work properly. Recheck <br />measurements before installing each product. Where portions of the Work are indicated to fit to <br />other construction, verify dimensions of other construction by field measurements before <br />fabrication. Coordinate fabrication schedule with construction progress to avoid delaying the <br />Work. <br /> <br />C. Space Requirements: Verify space requirements and dimensions of items shown <br />diagrammatical1y on Drawings. <br /> <br />D. Review of Contract Documents and Field Conditions: Immediately on discovery of the need for <br />clarification of the Contract Documents, submit a request for information to Architect. Include <br />a detailed description of problem encountered, together with recommendations for changing the <br />Contract Documents. Submit requests on CSI Form 13.2A, "Request for Interpretation." <br /> <br />3.3 CONSTRUCTION LAYOUT <br /> <br />A. V erification: Before proceeding to layout the Work, verify layout information shown on <br />Drawings, in relation to the property survey and existing benchmarks. If discrepancies are <br />discovered, notify Architect promptly. <br /> <br />B. General: Engage a land surveyor to layout the Work using accepted surveying practices. <br /> <br />1. Establish benchmarks and control points to set lines and levels at each story of <br />construction and elsewhere as needed to locate each element of Project. <br />2. Establish dimensions within tolerances indicated. Do not scale Drawings to obtain <br />required dimensions. <br />3. Inform installers of lines and levels to which they must comply. <br />4. Check the location, level and plumb, of every major element as the Work progresses. <br />5. Notify Architect when deviations from required lines and levels exceed allowable <br />tolerances. <br />6. Close site surveys with an error of closure equal to or less than the standard established <br />by authorities having jurisdiction. <br /> <br />C. Site Improvements: Locate and layout site improvements, including pavements, grading, fill <br />and topsoil placement, utility slopes, and invert elevations. <br /> <br />D. Building Lines and Levels: Locate and layout control lines and levels for structures, building <br />foundations, column grids, and floor levels, including those required for mechanical and <br /> <br />EXECUTION REQUIREMENTS <br /> <br />01700 - 3 <br />
