DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS
<br />Section 01090
<br />15-1207
<br />D. Directed, Requested, etc.: Where not otherwise explained, terms such as "directed",
<br />"requested", "authorized", "selected", "approved", "required", "accepted", and "permitted"
<br />mean "directed by Architect", "requested by Architect", and similar phrases. However, no
<br />such implied meaning will be interpreted to extend the Architect's responsibility into the
<br />Contractor's area of construction supervision.
<br />E. Approve: Where used in conjunction with Architect's/ Engineer's response to submittals,
<br />requests, applications, inquiries, reports and claims by Contractor, the meaning of term
<br />"approved" will be held to limitations of Architect's/Engineer's responsibilities and duties as
<br />specified in General and Supplementary Conditions. In no case will "approval" by
<br />Architect/Engineer be interpreted as a release of Contractor from responsibilities to fulfill
<br />requirements of contract documents.
<br />F. Project Site: The term "project site" is defined as the space available to the Contractor for
<br />performance of the work, either exclusively of in conjunction with others performing other
<br />work as part of the project. The extent of the project site is shown on the drawings, and may
<br />or may not be identical with the description of the land upon which the project is to be built.
<br />G. Furnish: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, term "furnish" is used to mean
<br />supply and deliver to project site, unloaded, ready for assembly, installation, etc., as
<br />applicable in each instance.
<br />H. Install: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, term "install" is used to describe
<br />operations at project site including unpacking, assembly, erection, placing, anchoring,
<br />applying, working to dimension, finishing, curing, protecting, cleaning and similar operations,
<br />as applicable in each instance.
<br />Provide: Except as otherwise defined in greater detail, term "provide" means furnish and
<br />install, complete and ready for intended use, as applicable in each instance.
<br />Installer: The term "installer" is defined as the entity (person or firm) engaged by the
<br />Contractor, its subcontractor or sub -subcontractor for performance of a particular unit of
<br />work at the project site, including installation, erection, application and similar required
<br />operations. It is a general requirement that such entities (installers) be expert in the
<br />operations they are engaged to perform.
<br />K. Testing Laboratory: The term "testing laboratory" is defined as an independent entity
<br />engaged to perform specific inspections or tests of the work, either at the project site or
<br />elsewhere, and to report, and (if required) interpret results of those inspections or tests.
<br />L. Minimum Quality/Quantity: In every instance, the quality level or quantity shown or
<br />specified is intended to be the minimum for the work to be performed or provided. Except as
<br />otherwise specifically indicated, the actual work may either comply exactly with that minimum
<br />(within specified tolerances), or may exceed that minimum within reasonable limits. In
<br />complying with these requirements, indicated numeric values are either minimums or
<br />maximums as noted, or as appropriate for context of the requirements. Refer instances of
<br />uncertainty to Architect for decision before proceeding.
