SECTION 01300

SUBMITTALS

PART 1 -- GENERAL


A. This section includes the submissions of shop drawings, samples, operation and maintenance manuals and record drawings. There are other requirements in the Contract documents for submittals that are not addressed herein.

B. The submittal shall contain a copy of the pertinent specification Section(s) respective to that submittal, with addendum updates included, and all referenced and applicable sections, with addendum updates included, with each paragraph check-marked to indicate specification compliance or marked to indicate requested deviations from specification requirements. Check marks shall denote full compliance with a paragraph as a whole. If deviations from the specifications are indicated, and therefore requested by the CONTRACTOR, each deviation shall be underlined and denoted by a number in the margin to the right of the identified paragraph, referenced to a detailed written explanation of the reasons for requesting the deviation. The ENGINEER shall be the final authority for determining acceptability of requested deviations. The remaining portions of the paragraph not underlined will signify compliance on the part of the CONTRACTOR with the specifications. Failure to include a copy of the marked-up specification sections, along with justification(s) for any requested deviations to the specification requirements, with the submittal shall be sufficient cause for rejection of the entire submittal with no further consideration.

C. Accompanying a copy of the pertinent specification Section(s) as noted in Part 1.01.B, the submittal shall contain a copy of the contract mechanical process, structural, electrical and instrumentation drawings relating to the submitted equipment, with addendum updates that apply to the equipment in this section, marked to show specific changes necessary for the equipment proposed in the submittal. If no changes are required, the drawing or drawings shall be marked "no changes required". Failure to include copies of the relevant drawings with the submittal shall be cause for rejection of the entire submittal with no further review.

D. Submittals shall be identified per the respective specification Sections which the elements are specified within, e.g. 15095 Valves, General Part 1.02 Submittals.

E. The CONTRACTOR shall group all elements specified within a respective specification Section into a singular submittal per that specification Section. For certain specification Sections with a large volume of content, the CONTRACTOR may provide no more than three (3) submittals for inclusive content within a singular specification section.

F. Shop drawings and other submittals will be reviewed no more than twice at the OWNER’s expense. All subsequent reviews will be performed at times convenient to the ENGINEER



and at the CONTRACTOR’s expense, based on the ENGINEER’s then prevailing rates. The CONTRACTOR shall reimburse the OWNER for all such fees invoiced to the OWNER by the ENGINEER. Submittals are required until accepted. Any need for more than one (1) resubmission, or any other delay in obtaining ENGINEER’s review of submittals, will not entitle CONTRACTOR to extension of the Contract Time.

G. Partial submittals will not be reviewed. The ENGINEER will be the only judge as to the completeness of a submittal. Submittals not complete will be returned to the CONTRACTOR and will be considered “Not Accepted” until resubmitted. The ENGINEER may at his option provide a list or mark the submittal directing the CONTRACTOR to the areas that are incomplete.

H. Identify submittals with the name of the project, date, and accompany each lot submitted with a letter of transmittal referring to the name of the project, the specification page number, and/or drawing number, and tag number for identification for each item. Submittals for each type of work shall be numbered per specification consecutively, and the numbering system shall be retained throughout all revisions.

I. In all submittals and schedules, allow 30 days for the ENGINEER's review of each shop drawing submittal or resubmittal. No work shall be performed without approved shop drawings.

J. Resubmittals will be handled in the same manner as first submittals. On resubmittals, the CONTRACTOR shall identify all revisions made to the submittals, either in writing on the letter of transmittal or on the shop drawing by use of revision triangles or other similar methods. The resubmittal shall clearly respond to each comment made by the ENGINEER on the previous submission. Additionally, the CONTRACTOR shall direct specific attention to any revisions made other than the corrections requested by the ENGINEER on previous submissions.

SECTION 01310

PROGRESS SCHEDULES PART 1 – GENERAL

1.01 REQUIREMENT

A. The CONTRACTOR will submit precedence method cost loaded Critical Path Method (CPM) Progress Schedules to the COUNTY depicting the approach to prosecution and completion of the Work. This requirement includes, but is not limited to the CONTRACTOR’s approach to Activity cost loading, recovering schedule and managing the effect of changes, substitutions and Delays on Work sequencing.

B. The Progress Schedule shall show how the CONTRACTOR’s priorities and sequencing for the Work (or Work remaining) conform to the Contract requirements and the sequences of Work indicated in or required by the Contract Documents; reflect how the CONTRACTOR anticipates foreseeable events, site conditions and all other general, local and prevailing conditions that may affect cost, progress, schedule, furnishing and performance of the Work; and show how the CONTRACTOR’s Means and Methods translate into Activities and logic.

C. The Progress Schedule will consist of the Initial Submittal, Payment Submittals and Revision Submittals. Upon acceptance by the COUNTY, the Initial submittal will become the As-Planned Schedule for the Work. Revision submittals upon acceptance will become the As-Planned Schedule for the Work remaining to be completed as of the submittal date for that Revision.

D. References to the Critical Path Method (CPM) are to CPM construction industry standards that are consistent with the requirements of this Section.

1.02 GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A. The following terms, whether or not already defined elsewhere in the Contract Documents, have the following intent and meanings within this Section:

1. Activity Value (Value): That portion of the Contract Price representing an appropriate level of payment for the part of the Work designated by the Activity.

2. As-Planned Schedule: The first, complete Initial Progress Schedule submitted by the CONTRACTOR with the intent to depict the entire Work as awarded and accepted by the COUNTY or returned as no resubmittal required.

3. Contract Float: Days between the CONTRACTORs anticipated date for completion of the Work, or of a specified portion of the Work, if any, and the corresponding Contract Time.

4. CPM Schedule: The Progress Schedule based on the Critical Path Method (CPM) of scheduling. The term Critical Path means any continuous sequence of Activities in the Progress Schedule controlling, because of their sum duration, the Early Date of a pertinent, specified Contract Time.



5. Early/Late Dates: Early/late times of performance, based on CPM calculations, for an Activity in the Progress Schedule. Early Dates will be based on proceeding with all or part of the Work on the date when the corresponding Contract Time commences to run. Late Dates will be based on completing all or part of the Work on the corresponding Contract Time, even if the CONTRACTOR plans early completion.

6. Milestones: Key, pre-determined points of progress in the completion of a facility, denoting interim targets in support of the Contract Times. Milestones may pinpoint targets for key excavation and substructure events, significant deliveries, critical path transition from superstructure to piping and electrical rough in and building enclosure. Also, hook-up of mechanical and electrical equipment, availability of power for testing, equipment shakedown, training of COUNTY

-up, Substantial Completion and other events of like import.

7. Official Schedule: The Initial or most recent Revision Submittal accepted by the COUNTY or returned as no resubmittal required and the basis for Payment Submittals until another Revision Submittal is submitted and accepted. The accepted Initial Submittal is also the As-Planned Schedule.

8. Payment Submittal: A monthly Progress Schedule update reflecting progress and minor adjustments on the Activities, sequencing and restraints for Work remaining.

9. Total Float: Days by which an activity may slip from its Early Dates without necessarily extending a pertinent Contract Time. Total Float at least equals Contract Float. Total Float may also be calculated and reported in working Days. When an activity is delayed beyond Early Dates by its Total Float it becomes a Critical Path activity and if delayed further will impact a Contract Time.

1.03 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. The CONTRACTOR may self-perform the Work covered by this Section or employ a Subcontractor, subject to the COUNTY's consent. Employment of a scheduling Subcontractor shall not in any way alter or reduce the CONTRACTOR's obligations under the Contract Documents.

B. The CONTRACTOR will obtain a written interpretation from the COUNTY, if the CONTRACTOR believes that the selection of activities, logic ties and/or restraints requires a written interpretation of the Contract Documents. With each submission, the CONTRACTOR will point out by specific, written notation, any Progress Schedule feature that may reflect variations from any requirements of the Contract Documents.

C. It is the CONTRACTOR's responsibility to obtain information directly from each Subcontractor and Supplier when scoping their respective Activities, Values, logic ties and restraints.

D. Neither Acceptance nor Review of any Progress Schedule will relieve the CONTRACTOR from the obligation to comply with the Contract Times and any sequence of Work indicated in or required by the Contract Documents and to complete, within the Contract Times, any Work omitted from that Progress Schedule.



E. Neither Acceptance nor Review of any Progress Schedule will imply approval of any interpretation of or variation from the Contract Documents, unless expressly approved by the COUNTY through a written interpretation or by a separate, written notation on the returned Progress Schedule Submittal.

1.04 MILESTONES AND SCHEDULE RECOVERY

A. The COUNTY will select Milestones and Milestone Dates on the basis of the As-Planned Schedule. As the Official Schedule is revised, Milestone Dates will be revised accordingly. Milestone Dates will serve as target dates.

B. Whenever any Activity slips by 14 or more Days from the Late Date for an activity in the Official Schedule, Milestone Dates selected by the COUNTY, or a pertinent Contract Time, the CONTRACTOR will deliver a Revision Submittal documenting the CONTRACTOR’s schedule recovery plan and/or a properly supported request for an extension in the Contract Time. The narrative will identify the Delay and actions taken by the CONTRACTOR to recover schedule, whether by adding labor, Subcontractors or construction equipment, activity re-sequencing, expediting of submittals and/or deliveries, overtime or shift Work, and so forth. Activity shortening and overlapping shall be explained as to their basis (and be supported by increases in resources).

C. Upon evaluation of that Revision Submittal, if the COUNTY determines there is sufficient cause, the COUNTY may withhold liquidated damages or provide a notice of intent to do so, if schedule is indeed not recovered, and/or may give a notice of default.

1.05 PROGRESS SCHEDULE SOFTWARE

A. The scheduling software employed by the CONTRACTOR to process the Progress Schedule will be the current version of Primavera P6.0®, or Primavera® Contractor 5.0 CPM scheduling software.

B. If the CONTRACTOR intends to use companion schedule reporting, analysis or graphics software tools, the CONTRACTOR will furnish to the COUNTY descriptive materials and samples describing such software tools.

1.06 NON-PERFORMANCE

A. The COUNTY may refuse to recommend all or any part of any payment, if the CONTRACTOR fails, refuses or neglects to provide the required Progress Schedule information on a timely basis. Partial payments without a properly updated Progress Schedule shall be returned to the CONTRACTOR as non-conforming.

B. If justified under the circumstances, the COUNTY also may prepare alternate Progress Schedules, as appropriate, and deduct from the Contract Amount all related costs by Change Order and/or take other action commensurate with the breach.

1.07 REPORTS, SCHEDULES AND PLOTS

A. Schedule Reports will include Activity (ID) code and description, duration, calendar, Early Dates, Late Dates and Total Float. Separate Schedule Reports will tabulate, for each Activity, all preceding and succeeding logic types and lead times, whether CPM Plots displaying logic ties are appended or not.



B. CPM Schedule Plots will be plotted on a suitable time scale and identify the Contract Times, Critical Paths, phases and work areas on 24-inch x 36-inch or smaller sheets. Activities will be shown on the Early Dates with Total Floats noted by Late Date flags. For Payment and Revision Submittals plot a target comparison based on the current Official Schedule.

C. The Activity Value report will tabulate Activity code and description and Activity Value, percent complete and earned value as calculated by the scheduling software. Cash flow plots shall be provided showing the monthly and cumulative actual and planned earned values with curves shown for Early and Late Dates in the schedules. For Payment and Revision Schedule submittals, the cash flow curves shall also plot the most current Official Schedule planned earnings curves.

D. Each submittal shall include listings of all added and deleted activities, logic, constraints, Activity Value changes and update information vs. the previous Progress Schedule submittal. This list may be manually prepared or generated by accessory software that will generate such listings.

1.08 NARRATIVE REQUIREMENTS

A. The Initial Submittal narrative will describe the CONTRACTOR’s approach to prosecution of the Work and the basis for determination of activity durations, sequence and logic, including the CONTRACTOR's management of the site, e.g., lay down, staging, parking, etc.; CONTRACTOR’s phasing of the Work; use of crewing and construction equipment; identification of non-work COUNTY/Professional’s, shifts, weekend Work and multiple calendars applied to activities and an explanation of the basis for restraint dates.

B. Revision and Payment Submittal narratives will explain any changes to the approach or planning referred to in Paragraph A above on account of any change, delay, schedule recovery, substitution and/or CONTRACTOR-initiated revision occurring since the previous submittal.

C. Each narrative will list the Critical Path Activities and compare Early and Late Dates against Contract Times and Milestone Dates. Narratives shall also recap progress and Days gained or lost vs. the current Official Schedule, and identify delays, their extent and causes.

D. The Initial Submittal narrative will describe all delays occurring since Contract Award and all pending and anticipated "or equal" and substitution proposals. Payment and Revision Submittal narratives will describe any new delays and shall certify that the CONTRACTOR has not been delayed, as of the cutoff date, by any acts or omissions of the COUNTY, except as otherwise specifically stated.

1.09 ACTIVITY REQUIREMENTS

A. Separate activities will identify permits, design when included in the Work, construction, Submittal preparation and review (and resubmission and re-review), deliveries (site or storage), testing, start-up, commissioning and Punch List.

B. Activities will be detailed to the extent required to show the transition of trade Work. Activities will delineate the progression of the Work.



C. Activities will not combine separate or non-concurrent items of Unit Price or lump sum Work.

D. Activity durations will equal the Work Days required to sufficiently complete the Work designated by the Activity, (i.e., when finish-to-start successors could start, even if the Activity is not quite 100% complete). Installation Activities will last from 10 to 40 workdays. Submittal review activity durations shall conform to specified timeframes.

E. Activities will be assigned consistent descriptions and identification codes. Sort codes will group Activities by meaningful schemes.

F. Activities will be assigned Activity Values as appropriate and needed to reasonably allocate the Contract Amount to the time periods that they will be earned and eligible for payment based on the Progress Schedule and Schedule of Values. Separate pay activities may be used to simplify cost loading of the Progress Schedule. When used, pay activities shall be loaded with the cost of Work that is included, at no cost, in related (generally, concurrent) CPM activities. Pay activities shall not control the rate of progress; however, their start and finish dates shall be consistent with those of their related CPM activities to ensure accurate Early Date and Late Date cash-flow plots.

1.10 FLOAT TOLERANCES AND FLOAT OWNERSHIP

A. Any Progress Schedule with Early Dates after a Contract Time will yield negative Total and Contract Floats, whether shown/calculated or not. Any Revision Submittal with less than negative 20-days of Float will be returned as "Revise and Resubmit," unless a time extension is requested or the COUNTY assesses liquidated damages or gives notice of intent to do so, in the event schedule is not recovered.

B. Float calculated from the definitions given in this Section supersede any conflicting Float values in any early completion Progress Schedule.

C. Neither the COUNTY nor the CONTRACTOR own the Float time, the Project owns the Float time. Neither the COUNTY nor the CONTRACTOR use of positive Total Float will impact a Contract Completion Date or justify an extension of Contract Time.

1.11 SUBMITTALS

A. Each Progress Schedule Submittal will consist of a narrative, 5 copies of the required reports and plots and an optical ROM data disk with the CONTRACTOR's corresponding schedule and schedule layout files in Primavera ".XER" format.

B. The COUNTY will review Progress Schedule Submittals and return a review copy within 14-days after receipt and the CONTRACTOR shall, if required, resubmit within 7-days after return of the review copy.

C. Requirements for a Preliminary Submittal:

1. Within 20-days after receipt of Notice to Proceed and prior to commencing Work on the Project, prepare and submit to the COUNTY a Preliminary Submittal of the Progress Schedule for the Work. The Preliminary Submittal will show the Work as awarded, without delays, Change Orders or substitutions. The Preliminary Submittal shall be in CPM format and show general work planning and



sequencing for the entire Contract Time and detailed planning for the first 90 days after Notice to Proceed

2. No cost or resource loading of activities is required for the Preliminary Submittal. The COUNTY may issue comments on the Preliminary Submittal. A narrative should be included if needed to clarify planning and sequencing represented in the Preliminary Submittal. Any comments issued should be considered and incorporated as appropriate in the development of the full Progress Schedule Initial Submittal.

D. Requirements for the Initial Submittal:

1. Within 45-days after receipt of Notice to Proceed and prior to commencing Work on the Project, prepare and submit to the COUNTY the Initial Submittal of the Progress Schedule for the Work. The Initial Submittal will show the Work as awarded, without delays, Change Orders or substitutions.

a. Activity Values will prorate Schedule of Values costs and/or pay items through to Activities. Provide a cross-reference listing with two parts; a part that will list each activity with the respective amounts allocated from each Schedule of Values and Unit Price Item making up the total value of each activity and a second part that will list the Schedule of Values and Unit Price Items with the respective amounts allocated from each activity that make up the total value of each item.

2. After the As-Planned Schedule is established, the COUNTY will select Milestones and record the Milestone Early and Late Dates. As the Official Schedule evolves, Milestone Dates will be revised accordingly.

3. If the COUNTY refuses to endorse the Initial Submittal (or a resubmission) as "Resubmittal Not Required," the As-Planned Schedule will not be established. In that event, the CONTRACTOR will continue to submit Payment and Revision Submittals reflecting progress and the CONTRACTOR's approach to remaining Work. The COUNTY will rely on the available Payment and Revision Submittals, subject to whatever adjustments it determines appropriate.

E. Requirements for Payment Submittals:

1. Payment Submittals with progress up to the closing date and updated Early Dates and Late Dates for progress and remaining Activities will be due with each Progress Payment. As-built data will consist of actual dates, percent complete, earned payment, changes, Delays and other significant events occurring before the closing date.

2. Activity percent complete and earned value should indicate a level of completion that corresponds to the Application for Progress Payment for the same period. The earned value should be calculated by the scheduling software as Activity Value, times percent complete. Explanation should be provided whenever the cumulative earned value of activities in a Payment Submittal is not within 10% of the value of Work completed as represented in the corresponding Application for Progress for Payment.



3. At the CONTRACTOR’s option, a Payment Submittal may overlay minor adjustments on activities and sequencing for Work remaining. This excludes Activity re-scoping to reflect Delays, changes, schedule recovery or substitutions.

F. Requirements for Revision Submittals:

1. Revision Submittals will be submitted when necessary because of major changes or delays affecting activities, sequencing or restraints for Work remaining and/or to put forth a schedule recovery plan. Revision Submittals may also be required because of CONTRACTOR-initiated re-planning, or when CONTRACTOR plans to perform Work ahead or out-of-sequence that will require additional testing or inspection personnel, or when requested by the COUNTY when Work is performed out-of-sequence from the current Official Schedule such that the number of Days gained or lost cannot be determined or the scheduled dates of completion of the Work in a Payment Submittal are not viewed as reliable.

2. If requesting a time extension, the Revision Submittal should show the impact of the delay after incorporating reasonable mitigation to minimize the impact and illustrate how the number of Days requested time extension was determined. The delay should be determined as the change in the forecast Contract Completion Date(s) resulting solely from delays that entitle the CONTRACTOR to a time extension as provided in the General Conditions. Any and all CONTRACTOR slippage and delay occurring prior to and concurrent with the delay potentially entitling the CONTRACTOR to a time extension shall be incorporated in the Revision and explained such that the concurrent and non-concurrent periods of delay are indicated. If the CONTRACTOR does not follow the procedures contained in this Section or, if the CONTRACTOR's analysis is not verifiable by an independent, objective evaluation by the COUNTY using the electronic files and data furnished by the CONTRACTOR, any such extension in Contract Time will not be granted.

G. Retrospective Delay Analysis.

1. If the COUNTY/Professional refuses to endorse any Revision Submittal as "Resubmittal Not Required," the CONTRACTOR and COUNTY will use the latest Official Schedule when evaluating the effect of Delays on Contract Time and/or Contract Price. The procedure to be used will consist of progressively updating the latest Official Schedule at key closing dates corresponding to starting and finishing dates of the delays and/or dates the delays became critical or dates the Critical Path may have changed for other reasons. For each Progress Schedule iteration, slippage between actual Milestone Dates and Initial Milestone Dates will be correlated to Delays occurring solely in that iteration.

2. For each iteration, revisions in Activities, logic ties and restraints affecting Work after the closing date will be included in that Progress Schedule only if they meet any of the following conditions. First, they are Progress Schedule revisions that the COUNTY consented to contemporaneously (i.e., before the closing date) in writing. Second, they reflect comments or objections raised by or on behalf of the COUNTY and that were actually confirmed by the as-built progress. Lastly, they represent CONTRACTOR’s schedule recovery plans or other Progress Schedule revisions that were actually confirmed by the as-built progress.

avoid damage to the existing utilities. Temporary connections shall be provided, as required, to insure uninterruption of existing services. Any damage resulting from the work of this Contract shall be promptly repaired by the CONTRACTOR at his own expense in a manner satisfactory to the OWNER or the respective authority having jurisdiction over such work. Where it is required by the authority having jurisdiction that they perform their own repairs or have them done by others, the CONTRACTOR shall be responsible for all costs thereof.

E. Where excavations by the CONTRACTOR require any utility lines or appurtenant

structures to be temporarily supported and otherwise protected during the construction work, such support and protection shall be provided by the CONTRACTOR. All such work shall be performed in a manner satisfactory to the OWNER or the respective authority having jurisdiction over such work. In the event the CONTRACTOR fails to provide proper support or protection to any existing utility, the OWNER may, at his discretion, have the respective authority to provide such support or protection as may be necessary to insure



the safety of such utility, and the costs of such measures shall be paid by the CONTRACTOR.

Table 01720-2 Asset Attribute Data Form Examples

Valves Worksheet

Manhole Worksheet

Meter Worksheet



Fitting Worksheet

Pipes Worksheet

Existing OCU Utility Crossing Worksheet

For ease of calculating pipe deflections in Table 01050-3, begin by providing a unique asset ID (top of pipe shots and fittings) for each utility and type, numbered sequentially along the pipe run (including changes in direction) from start to finish of the pipe in the Table 01050-2. Then branches and services of the same utility type can be numbered. It is recommended that each utility (water, wastewater or reclaimed water) numbering format be distinguishable from the other. This will allow organization and convenient sorting after the individual asset table worksheet tabs are combined in the spreadsheet program prior to copying and pasting to the deflection table spreadsheet.



Table 01050-3 Pipe Deflection Table Example

*Uses law of cosines to determine angle ABC and ∅. Angle ABC = arccos((AB2+BC2-C2)/(2*AB*BC)) 180-∅/2 = angle ABC Calculate the total deflection ∅ to the outer point (A or C) is equal in angle to the approach from the next point along the line

** Uses law of sines, using the chord length AC and radius R. Since sin((∅/2)*(PI/180))=(Chord/2)R and length AC =Chord R =AC /(2*sin(∅*PI/360) This calculation assumes an average radius over the bend between three points.

*** Adds the lengths of AB + BC / 20 ft. to get an approximate number of bends over the span. This value is divided by the total deflection angle to calculate the average bend angle of the pipe This assumes that the bend angle is consistent across the entire length.

**** Uses average offset angle and laying length of pipe.



2.03 DIGITAL RECORD DRAWING SUBMITTAL

A. A Record Drawing of the affected construction area shall be submitted in an encompassing digital CAD file that includes the overall utility system layout and the associated parcel features. Feature point, line and polygon information for new or altered structures in the work area and all accompanying geodetic control and survey data shall be included. The minimum requirements are as follows:

1. State Plane Coordinate System

a. The drawing shall be submitted using state plane coordinate system with at least two points referenced to the COUNTY’s geodetic control network with a horizontal accuracy of plus/minus three centimeters relative to the COUNTY’s geodetic control network points used as reference. The points shall be certified by a surveyor registered in the state of Florida.

b. Features in drawing files that are stored in drawing units will be translated to real world locations. The geodetic control chosen shall correspond to existing monuments in the COUNTY control network

c. The new structures and features shall be geographically registered to the geodetic control. State plane coordinates exist for most quarter section corners in Orange County. Control assistance can be obtained from the survey section of Public Works.

d. If the geodetic control point is located within the project limits, it shall be symbolically indicated and annotated in the design file. If the nearest geodetic control is located well outside of the project area then it shall be tied to one of the other geodetic control points used, and a reference tie annotated and indicated in the design file. The two geodetic control points described above are the least survey grade geo-referencing information a developer can use to create the plan view drawing. Please refer to the subsection, “Conventional and GPS Survey Standards” to understand the type of structures and survey grade needed for the additional geodetic information contained in this drawing. This document describes which structures need to be surveyed and created within the drawing according to its corresponding horizontal coordinates and vertical elevation.

e. All drawings need to be geographically registered in the Florida State Plane Coordinate System. A licensed Surveyor shall set the vertical and horizontal control at the project site.

1) Horizontal Datum: State Plane, Florida East Zone, Transverse Mercator Projection, National NGS Datum NAD of 1983, Re-adjustment of 1990 using the HARN (High Accuracy Reference Network) correction;

2) Vertical Datum: Vertically corrected to the North American Vertical Datum of 1929.



2. The spatial accuracy of the feature data contained in the digital Record Drawing shall be equal to or better than the graphical data contained in the plan/profile sheets.

3. Pressure piping is to be entered as a single line between tees, wyes, and reducers.

Pipe sections should be continuous through structures such as valves and other fittings. Pipes should be broken and joined by a suitable fitting when a line changes its diameter or material properties. For wastewater force mains, the line feature(s) shall be input using the same direction from point to point as the proposed or existing flow. Therefore, the starting point of force main line segments within these layers shall be the upstream point and the downstream point shall be the endpoint of that segment. This procedure is required to indicate the continuity of flow and connectivity within the wastewater layers.

4. Gravity lines shall be entered as a single line, digitized in the direction of the design

flow, and broken at manholes. The beginning point of the line would the upstream end and the ending point would be the downstream end.

5. Text identifying piping shall be aligned with the piping. Point and linear feature

attribute text shall be visible on the drawing in a standard font and the lower left-hand corner of the text shall be just clear of the linear or point feature to which it corresponds, unless legibility requires that the label be moved and accompanied by a leader arrow. The labels shall be placed onto a separate layer and not to be placed in the feature layer. For reading from the bottom or right side of the plan sheet, the rotation angle shall be between -90 degrees and 90 degrees.

6. Features shall be placed on their appropriate layers and assigned colors by layer

for consistency. Features shown in the AutoCAD files shall be in model space and be contained in the AutoCAD files as opposed to being linked to externally referenced files. CAD systems which use a numbering system for layers instead of names shall also include a conversion chart explaining which layer number corresponds with which layer name.

7. The GIS plan view layer shall be reviewed for duplicate objects, short objects,

crossing objects, undershoots, clustered nodes, pseudo nodes, dangling objects or overshoots, and zerolength objects. Lines shall be continuous from structure to structure. Topology is provided by the end points of pipelines snapped to the end points of connecting lines, with a structure node being snapped to the end point. A point feature will be used to represent a structure such as a manhole or valve. The point feature shall be a symbol block with its block insertion point at the point of intersection or end point of a line.

8. For preparation of the Record Drawings, the COUNTY will provide the

CONTRACTOR the specific language to be utilized on each Drawing for the Record Drawing stamp. At a minimum the Record Drawing will contain the following language: “This document is a compiled representation of the constructed project, as prepared by the General Contractor: ______________. The source and basis of information used in the preparation of the document, upon which the Engineer reviewed, was the General Contractor: ______________. The Engineer did not confirm the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by the General



Contractor:________________. This document is believed to be representative of the constructed condition in the opinion of the Engineer, however the accuracy and completeness of the information cannot be guaranteed. The Engineer shall not be held responsible for the accuracy of the material represented or the reuse of the material by others. These statements are required by rule 61G15-30, FAC for record documents that include information provided by others.” The COUNTY will provide the CONTRACTOR with the final specific wording to be contained within the Record Drawing stamp when project substantial completion is issued.

9. File format shall be AutoCAD (current edition utilized by the COUNTY) (dwg) or

drawing interchange file (dxf). Dxf files can be created from all major CAD and GIS packages. Standard transfer media will be accepted. This media includes CD, DVD, and Iomega zip disks.

SECTION 01740

WARRANTIES AND BONDS

PART 1 -- GENERAL

1.01 SCOPE OF WORK

A. This Section specifies general administrative and procedural requirements for warranties and bonds required by the Contract Documents, including manufacturer's standard warranties on products and special warranties.

1.02 RELATED WORK

A. Refer to Conditions of Contract for the general requirements relating to warranties and bonds.

B. General closeout requirements are included in Section 01700 "Project Closeout."

C. Specific requirements for warranties for the Work and products and installations that are specified to be warranted are included in the individual Sections of Division 2 through 16.

1.03 DEFINITIONS

A. Standard Product Warranties are preprinted written warranties published by individual manufacturers for particular products and are specifically endorsed by the manufacturer to the COUNTY.

B. Special Warranties are written warranties required by or incorporated in the Contract Documents, either to extend time limits provided by standard warranties or to provide greater rights for the COUNTY.

1.04 SUBMITTALS

A. Submit written warranties to the COUNTY prior to requesting a Substantial Completion Inspection as outlined in Section 01700 "Project Closeout." If the Certificate of Substantial Completion designates a commencement date for warranties other than the date of Substantial Completion for the Work, or a designated portion of the Work, submit written warranties upon request of the COUNTY.

B. When a designated portion of the Work is completed and occupied or used by the COUNTY, by separate agreement with the CONTRACTOR during the construction period, submit properly executed warranties to the COUNTY within 15-days of completion of that designated portion of the Work.

C. When a special warranty is required to be executed by the CONTRACTOR, or the CONTRACTOR and a Subcontractor, supplier or manufacturer, prepare a written document that contains appropriate terms and identification, ready for execution by the required parties. Submit a draft to the COUNTY for approval prior to final execution.

D. Refer to individual Sections of Divisions 2 through 16 for specific content requirements, and particular requirements for submittal of special warranties.



E. Prior to Substantial Completion Inspection, submit to the COUNTY two (2) copies of each required warranty and bond properly executed by the CONTRACTOR, or by the CONTRACTOR, Subcontractor, supplier, or manufacturer. Organize the warranty documents into an orderly sequence based on the table of contents of the Project Manual.

1. Bind warranties and bonds in heavy-duty, commercial quality, durable 3-ring vinyl covered loose-leaf binders, thickness as necessary to accommodate contents and sized to receive 8-1/2-inch by 11-inch three-hole punched paper.

2. Table of Contents will be neatly typed, in the sequence of the Table of Contents of the Project Manual, with each item identified with the number and title of the specification Section in which specified and the name of the product or work item.

3. Provide heavy paper dividers with celluloid covered tabs for each separate warranty. Mark the tab to identify the product or installation. Provide a typed description of the product or installation, including the name of the product and the name, address and telephone number of the installer, supplier and manufacturer.

4. Identify each binder on the front and the spine with the typed or printed title "WARRANTIES AND BONDS", the project title or name and the name, address and telephone number of the CONTRACTOR.

5. When operating and maintenance manuals are required for warranted construction, provide additional copies of each required warranty, as necessary, for inclusion in each required manual.

1.05 WARRANTY REQUIREMENT

A. The CONTRACTOR will warrant all equipment in the CONTRACTOR's five-year warranty period even though certificates of warranty may not be required. For all major pieces of equipment, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a warranty from the equipment manufacturer. "Major" equipment is defined as a device having a 5 HP or larger motor or which lists for more than $1,000.00.

B. In the event that an equipment manufacturer or supplier is unwilling to provide a five-year warranty commencing at Substantial Completion, the CONTRACTOR will obtain from the manufacturer a warranty of sufficient length commencing at the time of equipment delivery to the job site, such that the warranty will extend to at least 5-years past substantial completion.

C. If an individual specification section requires a particular warranty more stringent than that required by this Section or the General Conditions, the more stringent requirements will govern for the applicable portion of the Work.

D. Related Damages and Losses: When correcting warranted Work that has failed, remove and replace other Work that has been damaged as a result of such failure or that must be removed and replaced to provide access for correction of warranted Work.

E. Reinstatement of Warranty: When Work covered by a warranty has failed and been corrected by replacement or rebuilding, reinstate the warranty by written endorsement.



The reinstated warranty will be equal to the original warranty with an equitable adjustment for depreciation.

F. Replacement Cost: Upon determination that Work covered by a warranty has failed, replace or rebuild the Work to an acceptable condition complying with requirements of Contract Documents. The CONTRACTOR is responsible for the cost of replacing or rebuilding defective Work regardless of whether the COUNTY has benefited from use of the Work through a portion of its anticipated useful service life.

G. COUNTY's Recourse: Written warranties made to the COUNTY are in addition to implied warranties, and will not limit the duties, obligations, rights and remedies otherwise available under the law, nor will warranty periods be interpreted as limitations on time in which the COUNTY can enforce such other duties, obligations, rights, or remedies.

H. Rejection of Warranties: The COUNTY reserves the right to reject warranties and to limit selections to products with warranties not in conflict with requirements of the Contract Documents.

I. The COUNTY reserves the right to refuse to accept Work for the project where a special warranty, certification, or similar commitment is required on such work or part of the Work, until evidence is presented that entities required to counter-sign such commitments are willing to do so.

J. Disclaimers and Limitations: Manufacturer's disclaimers and limitations on product warranties do not relieve the CONTRACTOR of the warranty on the Work that incorporates the products, nor does it relieve suppliers, manufacturers, and Subcontractors required to countersign special warranties with the CONTRACTOR.
