DEFINITIONS AND STANDARDS 010900 - 6 5.3. Conflicting Requirements: Where compliance with two or more standards is specified, and where these standards establish different or conflicting requirements for minimum quantities or quality levels,the most stringent requirement will be enforced,unless the contract documents specifically indicate a less stringent requirement. Refer requirements that are different,but apparently equal, and uncertainties as to which quality level is more stringent to the Architect/Engineer for a decision before proceeding. 1. Minimum Quantities or Quality Levels: In every instance,the quantity or quality level shown or specified is intended to be the minimum for the work to be provided or performed. Unless otherwise indicated,the actual work may either comply exactly, within specified tolerances,with the minimum quantity or quality specified, or may exceed that minimum within reasonable limits. In complying with these requirements, the indicated numeric values are either minimum or maximum values, as noted, or as appropriate for the context of the requirements. Refer instances of uncertainty to the Architect/Engineer for decision before proceeding. 2. Where the words "or approved equal" or"or equal" are used,the School District in consultation with the Architect/Engineer shall be the final judge of the quality and suitability of the proposed substitution. 5.4. Copies of Standards: The contract documents require that each entity performing work be experienced in that part of the work being performed. Each entity is also required to be familiar with industry standards applicable to that part of the work. Copies of applicable standards are not bound with the contract documents. 1. Where copies of standards are needed for proper performance of the Work, the Contractor is required to obtain such copies directly from the publication source. 2. Although certain copies of standards needed for enforcement of the requirements may be required submittals,the Architect/Engineer reserves the right to require the Contractor to submit additional copies of these standards as necessary for enforcement of the requirements. 5.5. Abbreviation and Names: Trade association names and titles of general standards are frequently abbreviated. Where acronyms or abbreviations are used in the specifications or other contract documents they are defined to mean the recognized name of the trade association, standards generating organization, governing authority or other entity applicable to context of text provision. Refer to the "Encyclopedia of Associations,"published by Gale Research Co., available in most libraries. 1. References include but are not limited to the following: I.B.C.
