GENERAL NOTES TO SPECIFIER:

This specification section has been prepared to assist design professionals in the preparation of project or office master specifications. It follows guidelines established by the Construction Specifications Institute, and therefore may be used with most master specification systems with minor editing.

Edit carefully to suit project requirements. Modify as necessary and delete items that are not applicable. Verify that referenced section numbers and titles are correct. (Numbers and titles referenced are based on Masterformat, 2004 edition).

This section assumes the project manual will contain complete Division 1 documents including 01 25 13 - Product substitution procedures, sections 01 33 00 - Submittal procedures, 01 62 00 - Product options, 01 66 00 - Product storage and handling requirements, 01 74 00 - Cleaning and waste management, 01 77 00 - Closeout procedures, and 01 78 00 - Closeout submittals. Close coordination with Division 1 sections is required. If the project manual does not contain these sections, additional information should be included under the appropriate articles.

This is a proprietary specification.

Notes to the specifier are in blue and should be deleted from final copy.

Optional items requiring selection by the specifier are enclosed within brackets, e.g. [35] [40] [45]. Make appropriate selections and delete others.

Items requiring additional information are underlined blank spaces, e.g. _______________.

Optional paragraphs requiring selection of one of the options are separated by a bold, reddish "or," e.g. - OR.

Optional paragraphs and features that may be selected or deleted as desired are shown in bold type. Delete bold type when including these paragraphs or features.

Revise footer to suit project/office requirements.
