SECTION 01.31 – PROJECT MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
GENERAL:
Summary: This Section specifies requirements for project coordination including: Administrative and supervisory
personnel, general installation provisions, cleaning and protection, insurance requirements.
Coordination: Coordinate activities included in various Sections to assure efficient and orderly installation of each
component. Coordinate operations included under different Sections that are dependent on each other for proper
installation and operation. Where installation of one component depends on installation of other components
before or after its own installation, schedule activities in the sequence required to obtain the best results. Where
space is limited, coordinate installation of different components to assure maximum accessibility for maintenance,
service and repair.
Coordination with local and state authorities: It shall be the Contractors responsibility to receive permission from
and coordinate with all authorities having jurisdiction over all temporary facilities and construction occurring
outside the property line.
Permits, Fees, and inspections: It shall be the Contractors responsibility to pay for and coordinate all inspections,
permits, fees, excavation fees, etc. required; and to receive approval from all authorities having jurisdiction over
all aspects of the construction of this project as may be required by these, specifications, building code, or other
laws and requirements applicable to this project. This does not include approvals by Planning and Zoning Boards.
Coordinate construction with inspections and tests, to minimize uncovering completed construction for that
purpose. No additional costs will be allowed for uncovering completed construction for the purpose of inspections
and tests.
Administrative Procedures: Coordinate scheduling and timing of administrative procedures with other activities to
avoid conflicts and ensure orderly progress. Such activities include:
1. Preparation of owner selection checklist.
2. Installation and removal of temporary facilities.
3. Progress and draw request meetings.
4. Project closeout activities.
Inspection of Conditions: The Installer of each component shall inspect the substrate and conditions under which
Work is performed. Do not proceed until unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected. No variation from the
manufacturers written instructions without explicit written permission from the Rehab Specialist will be allowed.
Manufacturers’ Instructions: Comply with manufacturers’ installation instructions and recommendations, to the
extent that they are more stringent than requirements in Performance Manual and Work Write-Up.
Inspect material immediately upon delivery and again prior to installation. Reject damaged and defective items.
Visual Effects: Provide uniform joint widths in exposed work. Arrange joints to obtain the best effect. Refer
questionable choices to the Rehab Specialist for decision.
Recheck measurements and dimensions, before starting installation.
Install each component during weather conditions and project status that will ensure the best results. Isolate each
part from incompatible material as necessary to prevent deterioration.
Mounting Heights: Where mounting heights are not indicated, install components at standard heights for the
application indicated. Where applicable comply with ADA, ANSI, and UFAS for handicapped accessibility. Refer
questionable decisions to the Rehab Specialist.

ADFA
Cleaning and Protection: During handling and installation, clean and protect construction in progress and
adjoining materials in place. Apply protective covering where required to ensure protection from damage or
deterioration at Substantial Completion. Clean and maintain completed construction as often as necessary
through the construction period. Adjust and lubricate operable components to ensure operability without
damaging effects. Supervise operations to ensure that no part of construction, completed or in progress, is
subject to harmful or deleterious exposure.

earliest feasible time and complete without delay.
1. Cut existing construction to provide for the installation of other components or the performance of other
construction activities and the subsequent fitting and patching required to restore surfaces to their original
condition.
Cutting: Cut existing construction using methods least likely to damage elements to be retained or adjoining
construction. Where possible review procedures with the original installer; comply with the original installer's
recommendations.
1. Where cutting is required use hand or small power tools designed for sawing or grinding, not
hammering and chopping. Cut holes and slots to size required with minimum disturbance of adjacent surfaces.
Temporarily cover openings when not in use. To avoid marring existing finished surfaces, cut or drill from the
exposed or finished side into concealed surfaces.
