VI. CONSTRUCTION DOC UMENTS
A. CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS [CD]
Submit 100% complete and coordinated set of construction documents for all
disciplines.
1. SPECIFICATIONS
a. Submit the original VA Master Specification section drafts marked-up with
pencil showing the editing for the project. Clearly identify modifications, deletions
and insertions. Assure the specification drafts have been edited and tailored in
their application to represent accurate coordination between drawings and
specifications.
b. When no VA Master Construction Specification exists for a "unit of work",
prepare the specification section in the three part section format.
(1) Use generic or non-proprietary specifications describing the minimal
acceptable product criteria level where no "Standard" exists to define quality and
workmanship levels.
(2) Use applicable "Standards" to define quality and workmanship when
these publications exist. List complete designation and title of each publication
used in Part 1; follow format in VA Master Construction Specifications for
applicable publications.
(3) Do not use proprietary specifications or systems that restrict
competition unless authorization in writing has been received from the VA
Contracting Officer for such proprietary specification. See the Federal Acquisition
Regulation (FAR) Part 10, Part 14, and Part 36.
(4) Do not use trade names or manufacturers brand names except as
previously noted.
