the Division 01 section where that belongs."
,◉ "Instructions for Procurement:

b. Frequently are standard industry forms
c. May include the geotechnical report as an attachment

Answer: "b. Frequently are standard industry forms
Both AIA and EJCDC offer standard printed Instructions to Bidders
forms. If necessary, a Supplementary Instructions to Bidders can
customize the Instructions to suit special project conditions.
Did you notice? The PDPG uses the term ""Instructions for
Procurement"" as an umbrella term for both bid and negotiated
projects. MasterFormat lists both terms: Instructions for
Procurement, and the more specific documents Instructions to
Bidders or Instructions to Proposers."

incorporated in the Work are:

e. Not required for private work
Review: PDPG 11.2.3.5".

These drawings incorporate all issued modifications and significant
field changes in scope. The term ""as-builts"" is discouraged, as we
are often unable to certify the accuracy of actual installations and
field-recorded information."

b. Are superseded by Division 01
c. Are expanded upon by the provisions of Division 01
d. Are independent, and Division 01 provisions have no effect

detailed. They address administrative and procedural level issues.
The Conditions of the Contract say: ""Do this."" The General
Requirements say: ""Do it like this."" And don't forget the concept of
""complementary documents."" No provisions have priority over, are
superseded by, or are independent of, other provisions in the
contract documents - they are ""complementary."""
◉ "In the specifications, the stated requirements address:
a. The owner's responsibilities
b. The contractor's responsibilities
c. The subcontractor's responsibilities
d. The architect's responsibilities
e. All of the above
