have been taken from typical equipment items of the class indicated. Before proceeding with work,
carefully check all dimensions and sizes and assume full responsibility for the fitting-in of equipment
and materials to the building and to meet architectural and structural conditions.

D. Coordinate work with other disciplines. Confer with other contractors whose work might affect this
installation; and arrange all parts of this work and equipment in proper relation to the work and equip-
ment of others, with the building construction and with architectural finish so that this work will har-
monize in service, appearance, and function.

"coordination" drawing will be circulated in timely fashion to the other trades for indication of their
work to permit coordination. Attend coordination meetings held in location and at frequencies in ac-
cordance with the directions of the General Contractor. When coordination is complete to the satis-
faction of the General Contractor, "sign off" the coordination drawings. See "SHOP DRAWINGS AND
OTHER INFORMATION REQUIRED."

selected by the Project Manager. The Contractor is responsible for accepting delivery of all
Owner-furnished items which are under his trade jurisdiction and place them in their final location.

B. Where items cannot be immediately placed in their final position, the Contractor is responsible for
storing and protecting all Owner-furnished items until the time of their final installation. The contractor
is responsible for the care and protection of the items until acceptance by the Owner. Coordinate
delivery of Utility Company furnished equipment with the delivery policy of that company.

1.14 PROTECTION, MAINTENANCE AND PRODUCT HANDLING OF HVAC- EQUIPMENT

A. Deliver and store Mechanical equipment at the site, properly packed and crated until finally installed.
Store materials in spaces as designated by the General Contractor/Project Manager. Investigate
each space through which equipment must be moved. If necessary, have equipment shipped from
manufacturer in crated sections of size suitable for moving through restricted spaces.

B. Adequately protect uninstalled and installed equipment and materials against loss or stealing, dam-
age caused by water, paint, fire, plaster, moisture, acids, fumes, dust or other environmental condi-
tions, or physical damage, during delivery, storage, installation and shutdown conditions. Replace
any damaged or stolen material without extra cost to the Owner, except for the equipment that has
been handed-over to the Owner or the Tenants.

C. Provide effective protection for all material and equipment against damage that may be caused by
environmental conditions. Do no work when conditions of temperature in area or moisture on mate-
rials or substrates are not in accordance with material manufacturer's recommended conditions for
installation.

D. Maintain all equipment and systems installed, until final acceptance by the Project Manager and the
Owner's consultant. The operation of the equipment by the Owner does not constitute an acceptance
of the work. Work will be accepted only after the Contractor has adjusted his equipment, demon-
strated that it fulfills the requirements of the Drawings and Specifications, and has furnished all re-
quired certificates.

E. Provide effective protection against damage for all materials and equipment during shipment, and
storage at the Project Site. Cover all stored equipment to exclude dust and moisture. Place stored
equipment on pallets or racks with appropriate weather cover.

F. After duct work, piping and equipment are installed, cover openings to prevent entrance of water and
foreign materials. Close openings with temporary metal or plastic caps.

G. Protect all rough and finished floors and other finished surfaces from damage which may be caused
by construction materials and methods. Protect floors with tarpaulins, drip pans and oil-proof floor
covering. Protect finished surfaces from welding and cutting splatters with baffles and splatter blan-
kets. Protect finished surfaces from paint droppings, adhesive and other marring agents with drop
cloths. Protect other surfaces with appropriate protective measures.

H. Deliver materials to Project Site in manufacturer's original unopened containers with manufacturer's
name and product identification clearly marked thereon.

I. After completion of project, clean the exterior surfaces of equipment furnished in this Division includ-
ing concrete residue.

1.15 EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS

A. Provide Equipment and Materials required for installation under the Specifications new and without
blemish or defect. Provide equipment and materials which will meet with the acceptance of authorities
having jurisdiction over the work. Where such acceptance is contingent upon having the products
listed or labelled by Underwriters Laboratories Inc., or other test laboratory, provide products so listed
or labelled. Where no specific indication as to the type or quality of material or equipment is indicated,
furnish a first class standard article.

B. Wherever a manufacturer of a product is specified and the terms "other approved" or "approved
equal" or "equal" or "similar to" are used, the substituted item must conform in all respects to the
specified item. Consideration will not be given to claims that the substituted item meets the perfor-
mance requirements with lesser construction. Performance as delineated in schedules and in the
Specifications indicate minimum performance. In many cases, equipment is oversized to allow for
pick-up loads, derating and future loads which cannot be delineated under the minimum performance.

C. Provide all equipment of one type (such as fans, pumps, coils, etc.) produced by one manufacturer.

D. Substituted equipment where permitted and accepted must conform to space requirements. Replace
at Contractor's expense any substituted equipment that cannot meet space requirements, whether
accepted or not. Make any modifications of related systems as a result of substitutions at Contractor's
expense.

E. Note that shop drawings, or other information submitted in accordance with the requirements herein-
before specified, do not assure that the Engineer, or any other Owner's Representative, attests to the
dimensional suitability of the material or equipment involved. Engineer’s failure to object to shop
drawings does not invalidate the Drawings and Specifications if in conflict; unless a letter requesting
such change is submitted and accepted on the Owner's authorized representative. Letterhead.

F. Substitutions of equipment for that listed on the schedules or designated by model number in the
Specifications will not be considered if the item listed or described is not a regular catalogued item
shown in the current catalogue of the manufacturer and been successfully used for a period of not
less than five years.

The contractor shall use the setting out information included in the architect’s drawings, particularly
wall elevations and reflected ceiling plans when preparing the installation drawings.
Construction IAQ Management Plan

To protect the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system during construction, control pol-
lutant sources, and interrupt contamination pathways, the contractor is required to develop and imple-
ment an Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) management plan after installation of all finishes and completion of
building cleaning but before occupancy. The plan should include strategies for compliance with the
following requirements:-
- During construction, meet or exceed the recommended control measures of the Sheet

Metal and Air Conditioning National Contractors Association (SMACNA) IAQ Guidelines for

Occupied Buildings under Construction, 2nd Edition 2007, ANSI/SMACNA 008-2008

(Chapter 3).

- Protect stored on-site and installed absorptive materials from moisture damage.

Page | 12
 BUSINESS PARK - P0015-821 DIVISION 23 – HVAC SYSTEM

- If permanently installed air handlers are used during construction, filtration media with a mini-

mum efficiency reporting value (MERV) of 8 must be used at each return air grille, as deter-

mined by ASHRAE Standard 52.2 1999 (with errata but without addenda1). Replace all filtra-

tion media immediately prior to occupancy.

A copy of a draft Construction IAQ Management Plan should be issued prior to commencement on site,
for review and approval by CLIENT. The contractor is required to provide a statement at the end of
construction summarizing how the plan was implemented on site. The contractor is responsible for
ensuring that both plan and implementation are sufficient to achieve LEED Core & Shell IEQ credit 3.
