EXPLANATION TO THE SPECIFICATION
1.0
INTRODUCTION
The Drawings and Specification are complementary to each other. Drawings are graphic means of showing
work to be done. They are particularly suited to showing where materials are located. Thus, drawings exist
essentially to show dimension, location and placement. Not all works, however can be expressed in
drawings. Generalized works are usually statement form and hence, the contractor is required to read the
specifications carefully.
Specifications, on the other hand are used to describe the materials, construction techniques, samples,
shop drawings, guarantees, and other contract requirements. Together, the drawings and the specifications
are used to inform the contractor. In cases where the specified brand carries with it the manufacturers
specifications, the manufacturers specifications shall hold precedence over these specifications.
The specifications are of the abbreviated type and include incomplete sentences. The selection of the
sentence depends on the underlying principles of specifications.
A. That the Technical Specifications are only one of the contract Documents.
B. That the contract is between the Owner and the General Contractor and
C. That the General Contractor is the only party responsible for the completing the work in
accordance with the Contract Documents.
Therefore:
A. Only the General Contractor is referred to in the Specification so as not to violate the intent of the contract
and so as not to undermine the proper chain of command.
B. Ant reference to Specialty Trade Contractors in the technical Specifications is made only in so far as
selection of Specialty Trade Contractors are selected and assigned to the General Contractor, the General
Contractor, assumes all the responsibilities for the execution of the whole project in accordance with the
Contract Documents. Therefore, in the contract between the Owner and the General Contractor, the
Specialty Trade Contractor is not referred to. In all contract documents, the word Contractor means
General Contractor.
C. The brand names specified are intended to assure the level of quality needed for the project. This does not
mean that however that the brands that are specified are exclusive. The Contractor shall prove by laboratory
tests and certificates that substitute materials are of the equivalent quality and the Contractor shall secure
the Architects approval prior to use of such substitutes.
D. The omission of the phrase The Contractor shall is intentional because the Specifications is directed to the
Contractor. Omitted words or phrases shall be supplied by interference in the same manner as they are
when a note occurs on the drawings.
E. Where as shown, as indicated, as detailed or words of similar import are used, it shall be understood
that reference to the drawings accompanying the Specifications is made unless otherwise stated.

Page 0100- 1 of 2
F. Where as directed, as required, as permitted, as authorized, as approved, accepted or words of

similar import to used, it shall be understood that the direction, requirements, permission, authorization,
approval or acceptance of the Architect is intended unless otherwise stated.
G. As used herein, provided shall be understood to mean provided complete in place, that is, furnished and
installed.
H. Most sentences are in the imperative mood. This style is especially suited for instructions covering
installation of products and equipment.
Example:
Spread planting soil mixture to depth required to meet thickness, grades, elevations shown
Reuse surface soil stockpiled on site
Maintain ground cover by watering
The verb is the first word of the sentence clearly defining the action to be performed. This style is readily
understandable and concise.

CLARIFICATIONS
All reference to any particular brand, material, equipment, or systems in the specifications, drawings, and
bid documents is indicated of the type and quality of what is required. However, any equal material or
equipment or system can be used if approved by the University.

In addition to the grading limits shown above, the fine aggregates, as delivered to the
mixer shall have a fineness modulus of not less than 2.3 nor more than 3.0 and during
normal operations, the grading of the fine aggregate shall be controlled so that the
fineness modulus of at least nine (9) of ten (10) test samples of the fine aggregate as
delivered to the mixer shall not vary more than 0.20 from the fineness modulus of all
samples tested during the preceding 30-day period. The fineness modulus can be
determined by dividing by 100 the sum of the cumulated percentages retained on U.S
Standard Sieve Nos. 4, 8,16,30,50 and 100. At the option of the Contractor, fine
aggregates may be separated into two or more sizes or classification, but the resulting
combined sand shall be of uniformed grading within the limits specified above. It can be
generally assumed that fine blending sand maybe required to meet the above grading.
D. COARSE AGGREGATES
Coarse agreement shall consist of gravel, crushed gravel or rock, or a combination
thereof. The coarse aggregate as delivered to the batching plant shall have a uniform and
stable moisture content. The approval of deposits shall be not be constructed as
constituting the approval of all the materials taken from the deposits and the Contractor
shall be held responsible for the specified quality of all such materials used in the work.
Coarse aggregates shall consists of hard, tough, durable, clean and uncoated particles.
All foreign materials and dust shall be removed by adequate processing. The particles
shape of one of the smallest size of crushed coarse aggregates shall be generally
rounded or cubical, and the coarse aggregate shall be reasonably free from flat and
elongated particles. A thin, flat and elongated particle can be defined as a particle having
a maximum dimension greater than five times the minimum dimension. The coarse
aggregate shall be well graded from fine to coarse. It shall be separated into sized groups.
The grading of the aggregate within the separated size groups as delivered to the mixer
shall be as follows:
