Format: Although some portions of these specifications may not be in
complete compliance with one format, no particular significance will be
attached to such compliance or non-compliance.
Imperative Language: Except as otherwise indicated, requirements
expressed imperatively are to be performed by Subcontractor.
Overlapping Requirements: Where there is a conflict between or within the
Contract Documents or where compliance with two or more industry
standards or sets of requirements is specified, and the different standards or
requirements establish different levels of quality, the most stringent
requirement is intended, is assumed to have been bid, and will be enforced
without cost to Government. Refer requirements that are different but
approximately equal, and uncertainties as to which quality level is more
stringent to the Government for a decision before proceeding.
Minimum Quality: The quality level shown or specified is intended to be the
minimum for the work. The work may either comply with that minimum
quality (within specified tolerances), or may exceed that minimum quality
within reasonable limits.
Specialists: In certain instances, specification text requires that work is to be
assigned to specialists or expert entities. Such assignments are intended to
establish which party or entity involved in a specific unit or work is
recognized as “expert” for the indicated construction processes or operations.
Nevertheless, the final responsibility for fulfillment of the entire set of contract
requirements remains with the Subcontractor.
Incomplete Sentences or Abbreviations: The language of specifications and
other Contract Documents is of the abbreviated or streamlined type in certain
instances, and implies words and meanings appropriately interpreted.
